[Resolved] Post meta & Category / Tags does not display for custom post type

Hi there,

Try these functions:

add_action( 'generate_after_entry_title', function() {
    $post_types = array(
        'one-post-type',
        'another-post-type',
    );

    if ( in_array( get_post_type(), $post_types ) ) : ?>
        <div class="entry-meta">
            <?php generate_posted_on(); ?>
        </div><!-- .entry-meta -->
    <?php endif;
} );

add_action( 'generate_after_entry_content', function() {
    $post_types = array(
        'one-post-type',
        'another-post-type',
    );

    if ( in_array( get_post_type(), $post_types ) ) : ?>
        <footer class="entry-meta">
            <?php
                generate_entry_meta();

                if ( is_single() ) {
                    generate_content_nav( 'nav-below' );
                }
            ?>
        </footer><!-- .entry-meta -->
    <?php endif;
} );

Let me know if this helps or not 🙂

Nope, that should be it 🙂

Glad I could help!

Can you link me to one of those post types?

Hmm, how are you adding that code?

In your custom function, find this line: generate_entry_meta();

And add this after it:

echo 'hi!';

Does the “hi!” text appear within your CPTs?

So that means this function isn’t firing: https://github.com/tomusborne/generatepress/blob/35fe967ca7351a0517d258ab5c73150aa40d1f9a/inc/structure/post-meta.php#L159-L185

Do these custom post types have categories and tags?

Hi Tom

FOUND! As these CTP’s does not have categories or tags generate_content_nav() is failing to work.

Somewhere else I have:

add_filter( 'generate_category_post_navigation', 'indigo_category_post_navigation' );
function indigo_category_post_navigation() {
	// return true;
	return false;
}

I have it set to true, which works fine with my posts, I switched to false and generate_content_nav() started to work.

So I changed this filter to selectively pass true or false.

add_filter( 'generate_category_post_navigation', 'indigo_category_post_navigation' );
function indigo_category_post_navigation() {
	$post_types = array(
		'colaborador',
		'actividade',
		'evento'
	);
	if ( in_array( get_post_type(), $post_types ) ) :
		return false;
	else :
		return true;
	endif;
}

Also I changed to priority of ‘indigo_cpt_footer_meta’ to 20 to go below other stuff hooked there.

I have to say that your code is very clear and easy to follow.

Thank you so much!

Alain
