[Resolved] Issue generate_entry_meta_post_types and CPT

[Beate]

Hello,

I habe created Custom Post Type and output the entry meta with this function:

add_filter( 'generate_entry_meta_post_types', function( $types ) {
    $types[] = 'entwickler-blog';

    return $types;
} );

Issue: The click on the author link leads to “404”, although the author had written several articles for this cpt.

Can you help me please?
Regards

Hi there,

WP doesn’t display CPTs on author pages by default.
Try the snippet Tom provides here to correct that:

Hi David,

thanks for the answer. I have inserted:

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', function( $query ) {
    if ( ! $query->is_main_query() || is_admin() ) {
        return;
    }

    if ( $query->is_author ) {
        $query->set( 'entwickler-blog', array( 'post', 'page' ) );
    }
} );

The error is unfortunately still there. The link to the author still leads to 404.

This line is incorrect:

$query->set( 'entwickler-blog', array( 'post', 'page' ) );

it should be:

$query->set( 'post_type', array('custom_type', 'post') );

Change the custom_type to the your CPT slug.
