 * Hello,
 * I’m trying to display custom post beside the normal loop.
 * Here is what i have until now:
 * Custom Post type:
 *     ```
       register_post_type( 'publicidad',
       	array(
       		'labels' => array(
       			'name' => __( 'Publicidad' ),
       			'singular_name' => __( 'Publicidad' )
       		),
       		'public' => true,
       		'has_archive' => true,
       		'show_in_menu' => true,
       		'show_ui' => true,
           		'query_var' => true,
           		'rewrite' => true,
           		'capability_type' => 'post',
           		'has_archive' => true,
           		'hierarchical' => false,
           		'menu_position' => null,
           		'show_admin_column'=>true,
           		'supports' => array( 'title', 'thumbnail')
       		)
       	);
       ```
   
 * This is my custom taxonomy for my custom post type “publicidad”
 *     ```
       $labels = array(
       		'name' => _x( 'Ubicaciones', 'taxonomy general name' ),
       		'singular_name' => _x( 'Ubicacion', 'taxonomy singular name' ),
       		'search_items' =>  __( 'Buscar Ubicacion' ),
       		'all_items' => __( 'Todos las Ubicacion' ),
       		'edit_item' => __( 'Editar' ),
       		'update_item' => __( 'Actualizar' ),
       		'add_new_item' => __( 'Agregar Nueva' ),
       		'new_item_name' => __( 'Nueva Ubicacion' ),
           ); 	
   
           register_taxonomy(
       		'ubicaciones','publicidad',array(
       			'hierarchical' => false,
       			'labels' => $labels,
       			'show_admin_column'=>true,
       			'show_in_menu' => true
       		)
           );
       ```
   
 * Also register that this custom post type could use regular categories and tags
 *     ```
       register_taxonomy_for_object_type( 'category', 'publicidad' );
           register_taxonomy_for_object_type( 'post_tag', 'publicidad' );
       ```
   
 * I create a new wp_query with this args
 *     ```
       $args_ads=array(
       			'post_type' => 'publicidad',
       			'post_status' => 'publish',
       			'category__in' => $wp_query->get('cat'),
       			'tax_query' => array(
       				array('taxonomy' => 'ubiaciones',
       				'field' => 'slug',
       				'terms' => 'ub-categoria'
       				)
       			),
       			'orderby' => 'rand'
       		);
   
           $query_ads = new WP_Query($args_ads);
       ```
   
 * There is most of the problem the custom post are not showed. When i check the
   request in the new wp_query i found that this new query one of the args i set
   is not been taking in count or somehow is changing from **“publicidad”** to **“
   post”**.
 * Here is the SQL Query that shows me when i do a var_dump of $query_ads
 * `SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wp_posts.ID FROM wp_posts INNER JOIN wp_term_relationships
   ON (wp_posts.ID = wp_term_relationships.object_id) INNER JOIN wp_term_relationships
   AS tt1 ON (wp_posts.ID = tt1.object_id) WHERE 1=1 AND ( wp_term_relationships.
   term_taxonomy_id IN (74) AND tt1.term_taxonomy_id IN (8) ) AND wp_posts.post_type
   = 'post' AND (wp_posts.post_status = 'publish' OR wp_posts.post_status = 'private')
   GROUP BY wp_posts.ID ORDER BY RAND() DESC LIMIT 0, 15`
 * As you could see the post_type is set to **post** instead of **publicidad**
 * I also try changing one of the args in $query_ads, from “category__in” to “publicidad__in”
   and then the query is this:
 * `SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wp_posts.ID FROM wp_posts INNER JOIN wp_term_relationships
   ON (wp_posts.ID = wp_term_relationships.object_id) WHERE 1=1 AND ( wp_term_relationships.
   term_taxonomy_id IN (74) ) AND wp_posts.post_type = 'publicidad' AND (wp_posts.
   post_status = 'publish') GROUP BY wp_posts.ID ORDER BY RAND() DESC LIMIT 0, 10`
 * What i get there is that WordPress accept the post_type i set, but the the post
   is showed in all categories, and i have to put into the code an special condition(
   in_category()) to see if the post goes there or not, the problem is that if i
   have 200 post where the “ubicacion” is “ub-categoria” it will bring me all of
   them and it will makes really slow the site.
 * Could someone help me? if its my mistake? or if it is a wordpress bug?
