Custom post type not adding custom field

Hey, it looks like you are trying to apply a filter, when add_filter should be used. You can learn more about working with custom post types here.

THis is the entire code on the page. i really cant see why i cant access the data. i changed apply-filters to add-filters but it causing errors, i’m stuck at this point.

HRW_Register_Post_Types::init() ;

}

the only problem is i get empty array at this custom post type endpoint.

https://localhost/jivipay/wp-json/wp/v2/hrw_wallet

the responses is []. please help

If you’re trying to use the REST API, the WPGraphQL support thread is not the right place to seek help.

For WPGraphQL, I was able to use your code and query the post type in GraphQL.

I made the following changes:

– commented out the line: 'show_in_menu' => 'hr_wallet'
– commented out the capabilities => array( 'create_posts' => 'do_not_allow' )

With these changes I was able to see the post type in the dashboard and create an entry of that post type:

Then I was able to use the GraphiQL IDE to query the wallets:

{
  hrwwalletts {
    nodes {
      id
      uri
    }
  }
}

And I got the “test” wallet that I had created:

the REST API was part of my troubleshooting process. i tried commenting out the two lines but the menus stopped showing and querry returned empty array [] still.

it’s a custom plug-in. Is there anyway I can share the plug-in so you can take a look. Thanks in advance
