GP Blocks / Query loop / custom post type

Hi there,

you need to make sure the CPT supports the Rest API for it to display in the editor:

ie. in your CPT args it should include 'show_in_rest' => true,

Hi David,

this did the trick ;-).

Thanks for this helping hand! I greatly appreciate that.

Best,

You're welcome

Hi David,

Sorry for reopening this, but I've set up my CPT with show_in_rest => true, still it doesn't show in the "Select post type" dropdown.

Here's how I registered the post type :

$labels = array(
    'name'                => __( 'Occasions', TEXT_DOMAIN ),
    'singular_name'       => __( 'Occasion', TEXT_DOMAIN )
);
  
$args = array(
    'label'               => __( 'Occasions', TEXT_DOMAIN ),
    'labels'              => $labels,
    'supports'            => array( 'title', 'thumbnail' ),
    'hierarchical'        => false,
    'public'              => true,
    'show_ui'             => true,
    'show_in_menu'        => true,
    'show_in_nav_menus'   => true,
    'show_in_admin_bar'   => true,
    'menu_position'       => 35,
    'menu_icon'           => 'dashicons-hammer',
    'can_export'          => true,
    'has_archive'         => true,
    'exclude_from_search' => false,
    'publicly_queryable'  => false,
    'capability_type'     => 'post',
    'show_in_rest'        => true,

);
  
register_post_type( 'occasions', $args );

I tried flushing_rewrite_rules via code and refreshing the page, but it doesn't work. Maybe there's another setting here preventing my CPT from showing ?

Thanks !

Hi there,

i believe you also need to set: 'publicly_queryable' => true,

Hi David,

Thanks for the quick fix, it works !

Glad to hear that!
