Custom Posts not loading on WPBakery Posts Module

    Hi,

    First of all, thanks for your work on this plugin – it’s extremely helpful.

    I’m working to implement a new content type in our site, “Client Stories”. So far, the process creating everything has been smooth, but the obstacle comes when trying to build a custom feed to show all client stories. To do this, I’m using WPBakery page builder and its “Posts” block. This block allows you to build a custom posts query. In the block options, I’m able to select my custom type “Client-Story” as the query filter, but when I hit save, no content appears.

    This is weird, especially because there’s other custom type I created months ago, “Podcasts”, which does query without problem. If I select it and hit save, a list of “Podcast” posts loads.

    I’ve checked and double checked the CPT UI settings for “Client Stories”, making sure they’re the same as “Podcasts”, with no result. There’s only one difference that I’m being able to spot – “Podcasts” has the With Front option set to True, while for “Client Stories” is set to False. This is because all the podcast content is found in the blog section of our site, while we want the “Client Stories” to be listed outside of that front base.

    Could this be preventing WPBakery from querying the “Client Stories” posts? Is there any important point that I’m missing?

    Many thanks in advance for your help with this,

    Easiest route to test this with would be changing the with front to match up with the Podcasts post type and see if the results are different. If they are not, then we know it’s a different issue. If it does work, then we know this is the issue and the next part is determining why.

    Beyond that, I’m assuming it’s something to do with WPBakery more than anything that CPTUI is doing, as we’re just a small-ish part in the overall working of content types for websites.

    Hi Michael,

    Thanks for your promt reply!

    I have tested changing the with front option, with no results. “Client-Stories” posts still don’t show in the query, and their new URLs lead to 404s.

    I can see your point about CPTUI probably having nothing to do with the issue… other custom types work fine. I’ll post my issue to other support forums as well.

    Is there anything else you think might be relevant for me to check out?

    Not really. I’d need to be able to dig in more readily than I have access for right now to really provide any other leads.
