My custom post type is set to “public => false” for reasons, but now I can’t select the post type in ACF Location Rules. Is there a setting I missed?
Check the “Show in UI” settings under the advanced settings.
Thanks. It works for my custom post type
Strangly, it doesn’t work with the WP ‘post’ post type.
I changed the arguments as follow, but ‘Post’ is not visible in ACF Location Rules.
function change_post_type_args( $args, $post_type ) {
if ( $post_type !== 'post' ) { return $args; }
$args['public'] = false;
$args['show_ui'] = true;
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'register_post_type_args', 'change_post_type_args', 10, 2 );
try setting “show_in_menu” to true.
I just had a look through the code in ACF and here is the issue
FILE: includes/api/api-helpers.php
function acf_get_post_types()
LINE: ~642
// Bail early if is builtin (WP) private post type
// i.e. nav_menu_item, revision, customize_changeset, etc.
if ( $object->_builtin && ! $object->public ) {
continue;
}
There is a filter
return apply_filters( 'acf/get_post_types', $post_types, $args );
and you could use this filter to add ‘post’ back in.
Can you show me how to apply the filter code correctly? I’m lost. Thanks.
add_filter('acf/get_post_types', 'include_private_post_types', 20, 2);
include_private_post_types($post_types, $args) {
if (!in_array('post', $post_types)) {
$post_types[] = 'post';
}
return $post_types;
}
Thanks. That worked for me. (added missing ‘function’)
add_filter('acf/get_post_types', 'include_private_post_types', 20, 2);
function include_private_post_types($post_types, $args) {
if (!in_array('post', $post_types)) {
$post_types[] = 'post';
}
return $post_types;
}
