CPT don’t show up on options for table index

[verlag_woAG]

First of all: i like “ajax search” very much! but there seems to be a problem:

Custom Post Types don’t show up when I want to put them into the table index:
“Post types – Select which post types to include in the search index.”

They do on the “main settings”

Search in custom_post_types : Available post types

I registered the custom_post_types via a selfmade plugin. I did the same with the custom-taxonomies, they show up for “table index”, so i wonder why the CPT don’t. Any Idea?

Hi Michael,

Thank you very much for your kind words, I really appreciate them!

If you registered the post types programmatically, then the most likely cause is that they might not be allowed in the Rest API, so wordpress doesn’t return them for the new UI.
Adding the show_in_rest argument to the post type registration should resolve it:

'show_in_rest' => true

All you need to do is add this argument to the register_post_type function arguments and that should resolve it.

All the best,
Ernest

Great! Thank you very much, this did it!

You are very welcome!

I have noted this as an issue, in tomorrow’s plugin update there will be a core fix for it, so even if show_in_rest is not defined or set to false, the plugin will display the post type in the list correctly.

If you don’t mind, I will close this topic soon and mark it as resolved, feel free to open another one if you have other questions or issues.

If you like the plugin and have not rated already, feel free to leave a rating on the wordpress plugin repository, it’s greatly appreciated and helps us a lot!

All the best to you,
Ernest
