Show Custom Post Type Entries In Series Episode Select

[larson.matt.b]

I am trying to add a custom post type into the episode select section on the series edit screen, but can not figure out what is specifically making it ignore my post type. My custom post type displays correctly as a tutorial post, but does not show up under the drop down.

Do you have any advice on how I could accomplish this? Perhaps the location of the code that generates the drop down list of posts to add as episodes, or a suggestion of a property I need to change on my post type in order to make them show up.

I am using Toolset Types in order to create the post types.

Hello and tanks for reaching us out at helpdesk 😉
First of all please let me say 3 important things:

1) In order to achieve what you want to do, this requires a lot of custom coding
2) Custom coding as you probably already know, as general product support guideline, doesn’t cover code customizations, so I can only point you to the right direction, but you’ll have a lot of work yourself to do what you need.
3) This change will have MASSIVE ripercussions across the entire site because this theme is full of custom queries in every series shortcode, template, plugins, widgets and more. So your change will result in a CASCADE of issues that you’ll have to handle yourself, one by one, searching the right template/plugin/shortcode/widget where the code needs to be changed, because we can’t provide support for such a massive amount of changes that this customization will require.

That said, you need to edit the file of this screenshot, line 120

This will only make your custom type in the serie settings, nothing more.

You’ll need to manage yourself all the HUNDREDS of templates and plugin files that needs changing because of this change, because there is no shortcut for this.

Please let me warn you: this process may really take dozens of hours of work.
Also, we will not be able to provide anymore support on this delicate and deep customization as is totally out of the support policy, I’m sorry.

As final thought, I’d strongly recommend to use the child theme as much as possible for your custom files.
Of course all the files included with “include” from functions.php can’t be overridden from child themes.

If you have no or little experience with programming, it may be worth hiring a developer to help you with this.

Igor
