How to enable Medium autoposting for Custom Post Types?

  • Hello, I need a piece of advice on how to turn Medium plugin on for custom post types. It works for me for Posts, but not for custom post types like Articles, News and so on.

    These post types are created in the functions.php file like this:

    register_post_type('article', array(
		'labels' => array(
			'name'               => _x( 'Articles', 'post type general name', 'your-plugin-textdomain' ),
			'singular_name'      => _x( 'Article', 'post type singular name', 'your-plugin-textdomain' ),
			'menu_name'          => _x( 'Articles', 'admin menu', 'your-plugin-textdomain' ),
			'name_admin_bar'     => _x( 'Article', 'add new on admin bar', 'your-plugin-textdomain' ),
			'add_new'            => _x( 'Add New', 'book', 'your-plugin-textdomain' ),
			'add_new_item'       => __( 'Add New Article', 'your-plugin-textdomain' ),
			'new_item'           => __( 'New Article', 'your-plugin-textdomain' ),
			'edit_item'          => __( 'Edit Article', 'your-plugin-textdomain' ),
			'view_item'          => __( 'View Article', 'your-plugin-textdomain' ),
			'all_items'          => __( 'All Articles', 'your-plugin-textdomain' ),
			'search_items'       => __( 'Search Articles', 'your-plugin-textdomain' ),
			'parent_item_colon'  => __( 'Parent Articles:', 'your-plugin-textdomain' ),
			'not_found'          => __( 'No articles found.', 'your-plugin-textdomain' ),
			'not_found_in_trash' => __( 'No articles found in Trash.', 'your-plugin-textdomain' ),
		),
		'public' => true,
		'show_ui' => true,
		//'has_archive' => false,
		'has_archive' => true,
		'hierarchical' => false,
		'delete_with_user' => false,
		'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'excerpt', 'revisions', 'publicize' ),
		'rewrite' => array(
			'slug' => 'articles',
			'with_front' => false,
		),
	));
	register_taxonomy_for_object_type( 'category', 'article' );

    Can I somehow use Medium plugin for this post type? OR there is no way to do it? Thank you!

  • +1 for this feature. I have been unsuccessfully trying to get the plugin to work with custom post type for the last few days. Can you provide a response with whether this is possible and if not what time scales would be to add it to the project?

    Even I am also having same issue. Medium is not working for custom post type.

    So After a couple hours of playing around I found a fix to add support for custom post types.
    In the plugin folder : Medium->lib->medium-admin.php a few lines need to be changed.

    Line 46 :
    add_action("add_meta_boxes_post", array("Medium_Admin", "add_meta_boxes_post"));
    Needs to be changed to :
    add_action("add_meta_boxes", array("Medium_Admin", "add_meta_boxes_post"));
    *the action “add_meta_boxes_post” obviously only fires on the “post” post type.

    Line 290 :
    WHERE p.post_type = 'post'
    You will need to add a AND your post type line, so mine ended up looking like : 

    WHERE p.post_type = 'post'
AND p.post_type = 'courses'

    * This will allow for CPT migration

    On line 456
    add_meta_box("medium", "Medium", array("Medium_Admin", "meta_box_callback"),null, "side", "high");
    Will need to change “null” to an array of values, so mine looked like :
    add_meta_box("medium", "Medium", array("Medium_Admin", "meta_box_callback"),array("courses","post"), "side", "high");

    And finally on line 468 :
    $allowed_post_types = apply_filters("medium_allowed_post_types", array("post"));
    Needs to be updated with all the post types you need, so mine looked like:
    $allowed_post_types = apply_filters("medium_allowed_post_types", array("post","courses"));

    Hopes that helps

    I know this is an old thread, but I found a solution that does not require modifying the plugin and thought I’d post if this was handle for anyone. This way you can continue to get plugin updates.

    Obviously, swap out “‘news’, ‘publications'”, with the CPT you want and the lines like add_action(“add_meta_boxes_news”, array(“Medium_Admin”, “add_meta_boxes_post”)); you should swap out “news” or “publications” for the CPT you want to include.

    function medium_post_types( $post_types ) {
     $post_types = array('news','publications');
     return $post_types;
 }
add_filter( 'medium_allowed_post_types', 'medium_post_types', 10, 1 );

add_action("add_meta_boxes_news", array("Medium_Admin", "add_meta_boxes_post"));
add_action("add_meta_boxes_publications", array("Medium_Admin", "add_meta_boxes_post"));
