 * Is there a way to make the plugin work on a custom post type? It apparently does
   not at the moment.
 * Thanks!

 * Can you tell me how?
 * I have created a custom post type, and when I edit it, the Co-Authors interface
   does not show up, there’s only the normal author select list.

 * There used to be a section where I would hard code the custom content type, but
   I don’t see it in the most recent update. It just works on any content type now.

 * I just found out the issue, sunamumaya.
 * Your Custom Post Type needs to support ‘authors’. If not, it will not show up.
   I was having this issue, added that into the ‘supports’ argument, and it was 
   displaying.

 * I don’t know how to do that…
 * I’m using the [CPT-onomies plugin](http://wordpress.org/plugins/cpt-onomies/),
   and I do have the “Guest Authors” in the “Attach to Post Types” configuration
   settings, but it does not do it.
 * Any other ideas?

 * In CPT-onomies, under Advanced Options for your custom post type, you should 
   be able to assign support for “Author”.

 * Rachel,
 * that is checked, but still not enabling Co-Authors Plus (CAP). It does ensure
   the Author drop-down appears in the back-end, but CAP isn’t enabled.
 * Let me take this opportunity to thank you for your brilliant work with CPT-onomies,
   though! One of the best plugins out there.
 * Please let me know if you have any other ideas, although I think this is a CAP
   issue, not a CPT-onomies thing.
 * Cheers!

 * Well that sure is sweet of you. Thanks!
 * Please let me know if something changes and you think this is a CPT-onomies issue.
   Hope you get it all sorted!
