 * I am using the CustomPress plugin from WPMUdev to create a custom post type with
   basically all the features of a post.
 * Is there anyway to get these to show up on a category page?
 * I have assigned them to categories but they don’t show up on the category page…
   only the posts of the same category.
 * Thanks in advance for any help.

 * [@balebond](https://wordpress.org/support/users/balebond/) You should ask the
   plugin developers about the category page link. Usually it should look like this,
   assuming your post type name is “work”:
 * [http://yoursite.com/works](http://yoursite.com/works)

    OK, yeah
   that actually works for the blog roll type page. I may just use this.
 * However, I was really hoping to get the same effect as when I have a direct link
   to a category like:
 * [http://virigud.com/blog/category/backscratcher-template/](http://virigud.com/blog/category/backscratcher-template/)
   (
   those are just normal blog posts but I’d like my custom types to show up here)
 * Any way to do this with custom post types? Like
 * [http://virigud.com/card_template/category/backscratcher-template/](http://virigud.com/card_template/category/backscratcher-template/)
   
   and similar URLs I tried gets a 404.
 * **Again**, appreciate any help.

    Hi can you please
   let me know what this page supposed to display? is “blog” a post type you manually
   created? [http://virigud.com/blog/category/backscratcher-template/](http://virigud.com/blog/category/backscratcher-template/)
 * Since you are using the PRO version, can you please get in touch through this
   page:

 * Thanks for getting back.
 * After getting the pro version I decided to go a different route anyway, using
   the enhanced gallery feature.
 * Great theme. Props.
