how to exclude certain custom post types but show on others?

if ( get_post_type() === 'YOUR_POST_TYPE'  ) {
the_ratings();
}

Hi again ty for the response but where would i place this code? in single php? do i place it under this?

<?php if(function_exists(‘the_ratings’)) { the_ratings(); } ?>

i have tried it like this in single.php

<?php while ( have_posts() ): the_post(); ?>
<?php if(function_exists(‘the_ratings’)) { the_ratings(); } ?>
<?php if ( get_post_type() === ‘movies’ ) {the_ratings();} ?>

im probably doing it wrong? can you help a little more?

sorry lester im just unsure exactly how to write it, i understand i put my custom post type name etc just not sure where to add the code?
or do i add this to my functions.php?

<?php if ( get_post_type() === ‘movies’ ) {the_ratings();} ?>

You have to put it everywhere that contains the WordPress loop, aka <?php while ( have_posts() ): the_post(); ?>

Files like index.php, single.php or archive.php. Your theme author will be the best person to give you all the files since it differs a lot from theme to theme.

lol lester i think your misreading what i have wrote, i have already got the custom post types to show ratings by adding this single line

<?php if(function_exists(‘the_ratings’)) { the_ratings(); } ?>

in single.php of my theme, this works absolutely “100 percent fine” so there would be no need to add it everywhere else? the ratings show on all of my custom post types this way, so all i need to do now is limit the ratings to show only on 1 of my post types rather than them all.

i just need to know where to put the code you posted above

if ( get_post_type() === ‘YOUR_POST_TYPE’ ) {
the_ratings();
}

there is no point asking the developer of my theme to make a simple change like this that i am capable of doing myself :/ if i knew where to add it?

” so there would be no need to add it everywhere else? “
As mentioned I will not know, it really depends on your theme (and hence I ask you to ask your theme author because it differs from theme to theme).

For my own theme, I will add it in index.php, single.php and archive.php.

Ahh no worries bud ?? , i have added

<?php if(function_exists(‘the_ratings’)) { the_ratings(); } ?>

to index.php single.php and archive.php on the hueman theme and your plugin works fine on all custom post types for me, but you still havent gave me any clue as to where to put or how to use the original code you gave me in this thread. meaning you just gave me the code but didnt explain how i should use it.

this code–>
if ( get_post_type() === ‘YOUR_POST_TYPE’ ) {
the_ratings();
}

this is where we are getting mixed up i think, i am trying to ask you exactly where and how i use the code above you gave me, example: do i add it below this code like this?

<?php if(function_exists(‘the_ratings’)) { the_ratings(); } ?>
if ( get_post_type() === ‘YOUR_POST_TYPE’ ) {
the_ratings();
}

or do i just use the code you gave me instead?
or do i add it to the code you gave me something like this?

<?php if(function_exists( get_post_type() === ‘YOUR_POST_TYPE’ ) {
the_ratings();
}

you understand my question now?
i cant try it to see if it works if im unsure how to implement it.

putting it in my theme files isnt the issue, knowing how to put it is ??

ty in advance for the help btw ??

You can use this code:

if ( get_post_type() === 'YOUR_POST_TYPE'  ) {
    if( function_exists( 'the_ratings' ) ) {
        the_ratings();
    }
}
