[Resolved] Disappearing hook on CPT category archive

[Tyler]

I’m trying to get CPT categories to show up in the main query (which is now successful) but my hooks disappear>

Here’s my markup:

   function generate_add_custom_types( $query ) {
     if( is_category() || is_tag() && $query->is_main_query())  {
       $query->set( 'post_type', array(
        'post', 'nav_menu_item', 'after_footer_widgets', 'manufacturers'
   		));
   	  return $query;
   	}
   }
   add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'generate_add_custom_types' );

I added “nav_menu_item” which made the menu post type reappear. So I tried for my hook too but that doesn’t seem to do it since its not its own post type.

How do I get GP hooks to show up again? 🙂 Thanks!

Hi there,

You could try adding gp_elements to the array of post types to display?

Let me know 🙂

Hey Tom,

Thanks!

Partial success – that restored my “layout” elements. But my hooks are still not coming through.

does the gp_elements post type contain hooks as well?

[Tom]

Elements do have a “Hook” type. Is that what you’re using?

Yes, “hook” elements aren’t showing…or rather, my after_footer_widgets is not showing.

adding “gp_elements” post type seemed to restore my “layout” elements (those weren’t showing before), but after_footer_widgets still isn’t appearing.

I just tested another hook (before_header) and that is appearing…

[Tom]

What happens if you switch that same problem hook to before_header? Does it show?

It doesn’t show there either, BUT plain text appears just fine. So the BB shortcode was the issue!

I’m rendering a Beaver Builder shortcode in the footer hook hook site-wide that’s failing to appear on that CPT archive. The page is made with Themer and there isn’t any console error so I figured the BB post type was already showing.

Added fl-builder-template to the function and voila. 🙂 Thanks!

Awesome! Glad you got it working 🙂
