Custom Post Type, Filtered List Views

hillarygbarton · May 8

I would like to create a separate custom post type, so I can create an “archive” page to act as the list view for that type of page.

What is the best way to do this with BeBuilder? Can I make the BeBuilder interface show up under the CPT?

Thanks!

Hi,

For creating custom post type you can use a plugin such as Toolset.

To activate BeBuilder in the CPT you must use the following filter:

// add in child theme functions.php

add_filter('bebuilder_post_types','my_post_types');

function my_post_types($post_types){
	$post_types[] = 'my-custom-post-type';
	return $post_types;
}

Best regards

Hi,

I tried a few additional workarounds the past two weeks, but none worked out so I have circled back to creating a CPT.

As you suggested above, I added the CPT using Toolset, and set up a child theme with the filter code you provided. I used var_dump to verify that the post type is part of the filtered variable `$post_types`.

The new post type I created is called “items” but the BeBuilder interface still isn’t showing up.

I just sent you my updated login credentials. Can you help me figure out why I can't get the BeBuilder interface to show up?

Thanks,

Hillary

I have checked your website, and BeBuilder works for your CPT.

Best regards
