Custom post type not showing in get_post_types array

    Hi there, thanks for looking. I’ve probably got a bit of a newbie issue. I’ve created a custom post type which overall is working well, however I’ve noticed that it’s not showing in a get_post_types() call used by another plugin. I’m wondering if I’m missing something from my setup arguments. Here’s my code:

    function busl_register_post_type() {

	$singular = __( 'Site' );
	$plural = __( 'Sites' );
        //Used for the rewrite slug below.
        $plural_slug = str_replace( ' ', '_', $plural );

        //Setup all the labels to accurately reflect this post type.
	$labels = array(
		'name' 					=> $plural,
		'singular_name' 		=> $singular,
		'add_new' 				=> 'Add New',
		'add_new_item' 			=> 'Add New ' . $singular,
		'edit'		        	=> 'Edit',
		'edit_item'	        	=> 'Edit ' . $singular,
		'new_item'	        	=> 'New ' . $singular,
		'view' 					=> 'View ' . $singular,
		'view_item' 			=> 'View ' . $singular,
		'search_term'   		=> 'Search ' . $plural,
		'parent' 				=> 'Parent ' . $singular,
		'not_found' 			=> 'No ' . $plural .' found',
		'not_found_in_trash' 	=> 'No ' . $plural .' in Trash'
	);

        //Define all the arguments for this post type.
	$args = array(
		'labels' 			  => $labels,
		'public'              => true,
        'publicly_queryable'  => true,
        'exclude_from_search' => false,
        'show_in_nav_menus'   => true,
        'show_ui'             => true,
        'show_in_menu'        => true,
        'show_in_admin_bar'   => true,
        'menu_position'       => 6,
        'menu_icon'           => 'dashicons-admin-site',
        'can_export'          => true,
        'delete_with_user'    => false,
        'hierarchical'        => false,
        'has_archive'         => true,
        'query_var'           => true,
        'capability_type'     => 'post',
        'map_meta_cap'        => true,
        // 'capabilities' => array(),
        'rewrite'             => array( 
        	'slug' => strtolower( $plural_slug ),
        	'with_front' => true,
        	'pages' => true,
        	'feeds' => false,

        ),
        'supports'            => array( 
        	'title',
			'thumbnail'
        )
	);

        //Create the post type using the above two variables.
	register_post_type( 'buslsite', $args);
}
add_action( 'init', 'busl_register_post_type' );

    The line that’s not returning my post type is as follows:

    $posttypes = get_post_types( array('public' => true ), 'names' );

    I’ve done some work on this and it seems to be a timing issue, the plugin calling get_post_types seems to be calling that function before my post type is registered.

    I think you’re right about timing. Using the “init” action is the proper hook for adding post types. What plugin is using get_post_types()? In what context is the plugin calling get_post_types()? If it is called in plugin code without a callback, that’s much too early. If it is also hooked to “init”, add your callback with a smaller priority number to be sure yours is called before the others.
    add_action( 'init', 'busl_register_post_type', 1 );

    Yes that worked, thanks!

    Thanks again for your help.
