To be quite honest, I think the best way would be to make the Query Blocks “POST TYPE” attribute/field work like your “ADDITIONAL POST TYPES” attribute and only have one place where I set the post types.
To me it does not makes sense to set this in two places.
I.e “Post” in POST TYPE and then “Page” in ADDITIONAL POST TYPES.
Then the other plugin would likely work with your one out of the box.
I just do not know if you can “deregister” an attribute/control and then add it again with different functionality.
Would be great to hear your thoughts.
Hello and thanks for opening this issue. Unfortunately, it’s not possible for me to remove the default post type select dropdown. It’s baked into the controls provided by the Query Loop block that AQL extends.
I have made my control smart enough to include whatever is selected in the Additional Post Types field.
Are you looking to curate a list of posts to display? That’s a feature that I have been considering for a while.
Thanks!
Hi Ryan,
that’s exactly what the plugin does. It allows you to pick a curated list from the post type that you have selected.
Obviously it would be great if you could add that functionality to your plugin!
Just wanted to follow up to let you know that I’ll be landing this feature in the next few days!
The ability to manually select posts to display was released with version 2.2.3.
I’m going to close this out but please feel free to open a new issue if needed!
Hi Ryan,
I just tried out the new version. It works really well! Thank you.
It would be great however, if you have chosen “ADDITIONAL POST TYPES”, that posts from those “ADDITIONAL POST TYPES” would come up in the “Include Posts” input field as well.
At the moment it seems that only posts from the post type “post” are selectable, even if you added “page” in “ADDITIONAL POST TYPES”.
Or am I doing something wrong?
My apologies, it seems to work like that already. I just did not type enough of the page title that it showed up. In my case I had to type nearly the whole title for it to show up.
