# [Plugin: Verve Meta Boxes] Recognizing Custom Post Types

 * What is the best way to get Verve Meta Boxes to recognize custom post types that
   have been created manually (i.e. by code in functions.php) so the boxes can be
   matched to appear with the post type?
 * I had been using CMS Press but with the support of custom post archives in WP
   3.1 it’s pretty much unnecessary so I’ve disabled the plugin and recreated those
   post-types with code.
 * If you need more detail I can supply it… thanks!

 * Let me add a bit since there are no replies — with WP 3.1 out soon, there really
   isn’t a need for CMS plugins –> it’s quite straightforward to handle custom post
   types manually with php, and WP takes are of the archives now.
 * But Verve Meta boxes, unless a CMS Plugin is used, will not recognize the “homemade”
   custom post types — the only choice is ‘post’ and ‘page’ (unless I am doing something
   wrong in terms of creating the custom post type — but in every other way the 
   custom post type functions as expected).

 * I have created custom post types manually and verve meta boxes can identify them
   without problem.
 * FYI, my custom post types do not use custom taxonomy, so I don’t know if it will
   cause problem.

 * Thank you for replying… this helps me a lot. I have one custom post type without
   a custom taxonomy and it’s not appearing either. I will definitely go back and
   check my code…

 * Ah, I hadn’t specified ‘custom-fields’ in my array for the custom field meta 
   box itself to display, and somehow this was turning off the Verve Meta Boxes 
   as well…
 * Thanks [@joetheboss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joetheboss/)!
