 * Hi,
    I’m using Types plugin ([https://wordpress.org/plugins/types/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/types/))
   to manage my custom post types. In my custom post type settings the option “post-
   formats” is selected in order to be able to use post formats. The problem I’m
   facing with custom post types is that when I use a Huemans’ post format that 
   has some extra fields (for example “Video” post format), the extra input fields(
   for example “Video URL” & “Video Embed Code”) are not appearing…
 * Any thoughts on this?

 * Hi mimis. If you disable the plugin do the default theme post options display
   again?

 * Hi bdbrown,
    when I create a classic post everything works even if the plugin
   is enabled… the post appears on the homepage, on widgets, category & tag pages.
   When, instead of a classic post, I add a custom type post the theme post options
   are not available. I would also like for the custom type posts to be available
   throughout the website, just like classic posts.
 * I think I must go and tweak the theme in order to recognize the new custom post
   types and be able to function correctly with them.
    Do you know if there is a
   way I can do this once for the entire theme & widgets, or I have to go to each
   page/widget and tweak the code?

 * I don’t know anything about the plugin so what I’m saying here might not even
   be relevant. But you asked for some input so here it is. In regards to the post
   options, the plugin FAQ mentions that you can tell Types to manage those custom
   fields, so perhaps you’d have to figure out what those are in the theme and then
   add them to Types. For the custom post types, the plugin FAQ mentions not defining
   custom post types and taxonomy in more that one place. If they are, then the 
   solution given is to remove the existing php code that defines them and then 
   redefine them in Types. I’m only guessing but it sounds like the plugin overrides
   the existing custom post types in the theme and they would need to be removed
   from the theme code and redefined in Types. Again, only a guess based on what
   I see in the plugin FAQ. You might also consider posting the question in the 
   plugin forum and see if anyone there has any ideas.
