 * Sadly, this plugin does not pick up actual custom post types set (outside of 
   perhaps those set within the theme itself). Unusable as is.

 * Hello manndtp,
    I am not certain what problem you are having. Post types can 
   be set with plugins or functions and should still be available. Can you supply
   any more information as to your issue?

 * I am setting custom post types through an online generator and code added to 
   the functions.php file within the theme. Thinking something needs to be there
   that isn’t.
 * Any help is appreciated.

 * Things are working now. Seems that I had public set to false for the custom post
   types I am using. So make sure if you are adding custom post types inside your
   themes functions.php to set `'public' => true,`

 * Yes if the post types are not public they won’t be returned. Glad you got it 
   all working.
