 * Hello, I’m trying to create a custom archive page for a custpom post type I did
   on WP types, however when I go to edit the archive page on elementor I can’t 
   see the Layout Metabox to enable the generatepress sidebar. I love that sidebar
   but unfortunately I can’t use it with a custom post type & elementor archive 
   template.
 * Do you have any idea if I’m missing something? thanks

 * Hi there,
 * The metabox will only appear if the custom post type is set to public. Can you
   check your post type registration to make sure it’s public?
 * Let me know 🙂

 * Sorry, I think I explained myself wrong.
 * The layout metabox do appear on the custom post types.
 * It doesn’t appear on Single & Archive Models from elementor.
 * Should I get in touch with elementor team? Strangely other metaboxes like yoast
   are appearing there.

 * It’s possible that those areas aren’t set to public. It may be worth asking the
   Elementor team to clarify.

 * Hey Tom, I tried to change to CPT UI and same things happen.
 * The good thing is that if I just create the CPT the sidebar appears fine. However
   when I create a “single template” to override the wordpress default one it doesn’t
   import the sidebar.
 * This is an elementor fault not yours of course. Thanks for your time!
