 * Have something I hope is pretty simple to do. I just want to use a plug in with
   a custom post type. I’m wanting to have a section of our site turned into a wiki
   like resource. So I’m using the plugin WP-Wiki.
 * I dug through the Plugin.php code to find what the function name for the plugin
   was and then registered the post type in the themes function.php and nothing 
   happened.
 * Here is the code:
 *     ```
       add_action('init', 'docs_register');
   
       	function docs_register() {
           	$args = array(
               	'label' => __('Docs'),
               	'singular_label' => __('Docs'),
               	'public' => true,
               	'show_ui' => true,
               	'capability_type' => 'page',
               	'hierarchical' => false,
               	'rewrite' => true,
               	'supports' => array('title', 'editor', 'wordpressWiki_metabox')
               );
   
           	register_post_type( 'docs' , $args );
       	}
       ```
   
 * I was hoping by adding the plugin function ot the supports array would make it
   work but no dice. Am I on the right track with this or is it even possible?

 * Since custom post types are pretty new, many plugins are not ready yet to support
   it. So this is not impossible, just it hasn’t been done!
