[Resolved] My custom post is not displaying date, author navigation etc like normal posts

Hi there,

On your custom post type?

This might help: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/custom-post-template-editing/#post-523368

Let me know 🙂

[Pete]

Correct

[Pete]

Great, thanks that works. Is there anyway we can have CPTs displaying this as default rather than having to add this?

Cheers
Pete

[Pete]

It isn’t showing the post date?

[Tom]

You can do this:

add_action( 'generate_after_entry_header', 'tu_cpt_top_meta' );
function tu_cpt_top_meta() {
    if ( 'your-post-type' === get_post_type() ) : ?>
        <div class="entry-meta">
            <?php generate_posted_on(); ?>
        </div><!-- .entry-meta -->
    <?php endif;
}

There’s no way to do it without the code right now, but I’ll look into making it as simple as adding a filter.

[Pete]

Yeah sorry I just realised the above code was for the footer not the header 🙂

[Tom]

Yea sorry about that – using both functions should handle the header and footer 🙂

Hi! I was looking for info on how to add meta to CPT’s. I read about the possible filter to allow this level of compatibility. Just want to know if this is going to happen or we still have to do it old-school.

BTW can’t wait for the new GP 2.2 testing as I understand will bring more Gutenberg options.

[Tom]

There’s a filter in GP 2.2 that will allow you to do this:

add_filter( 'generate_entry_meta_post_types', function( $types ) {
    $types[] = 'my-post-type';

    return $types;
} );

add_filter( 'generate_footer_meta_post_types', function( $types ) {
    $types[] = 'my-post-type';

    return $types;
} );

2.2 is a huge update – it’s going to need all the beta testing it can get 🙂

[Satori]

Thank you so much for this Tom! GP is definitely the way to go to develop amazing WordPress sites. I’ll help in beta all I can, that’s for sure.

[Tom]

Thank you! 🙂
