Blog page showing content in the extra_content div
I am working with the Betheme and activated the blog page and it seems to be working fine except I added in two custom post types. When I added the 2nd custom type, I get odd content showing in the extra_content div area above the filters. This happes on any blog page that has this custom post type, like page 4 of the blog listing, etc.
There is only 2 posts in the forums about this none are helpful.
I made sure the page is set to be the Blog Page in both BeTheme and also the reading setting in Wordpress.
I cant see any data on the blog page and since that top does change such as one page 4 it grabs info from one of the custom post types to display on top, I figure its something else.

Hi,
Can you please tell me how you created these custom post types?
Thanks
One custom post type is via Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), another is one via adding the code to the function files (its older)
add_action('init', 'tcra_register');
function tcra_register() {
$labels = array(
'name' => _x('Tech Spec Listing', 'post type general name'),
'singular_name' => _x('Tech Spec', 'post type singular name'),
'add_new' => _x('Add New', 'Tech Spec'),
'add_new_item' => __('Add Tech Spec'),
'edit_item' => __('Edit Tech Spec'),
'new_item' => __('New Tech Spec Listing'),
'view_item' => __('View Tech Spec Listing'),
'search_items' => __('Search Tech Spec Listing'),
'not_found' => __('Nothing found'),
'not_found_in_trash' => __('Nothing found in Trash'),
'parent_item_colon' => ''
);
$args = array(
'labels' => $labels,
'public' => true,
'publicly_queryable' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'show_in_menu' => true,
'query_var' => true,
'rewrite' => true,
'capability_type' => 'post',
'has_archive' => true,
'hierarchical' => false,
'menu_position' => null,
'supports' => array('title','editor','author','thumbnail','excerpt','comments','revisions')
);
register_post_type( 'tech-specs' , $args );
}
register_taxonomy('category', 'post_tag');
The ACF should not cause this problem.
Please check if the same thing happens without the CPT you created with custom files. If yes, you should contact your web developer because we do not provide help with file customization.
Best regards
Hi There, this is not really a customization questions. Its more of a ACF does not cause issues with a Custom Post Type using the plugin. Many people use a custom post type in their theme say from a previous theme or such. Is there any notices about why custom post types might show in that section on top?
I see others asking similar questions but no real answers as to how to fix it (besides hiding the custom post type)

After switching from child to parent theme, everything worked fine.
As our documentation states, we do not provide help with modifications in child theme.

Best regards
This is no surprise as the child theme has a Custom Post Type so using the default would not use that custom post type hence not show the error.
In the meantime I commented out that section in the code.
