How to generate page & CPT PDFs via cron?

    By default, cronCreatePDFs.php only generates PDFs for posts. I would like to be able to also generate PDFs from pages and custom post types. I tried changing:

    $posts = get_posts('numberposts=-1&order=ASC&orderby=title');

    to:

    $posts = get_posts('post_type=page&numberposts=-1&order=ASC&orderby=title');

    and it generates the PDFs from pages, but they all say:

    Not Found
    Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Hey sorry for the delay. I am really busy at the moment. What exactly is the issue. Who is getting this Not found error? Your website user? After clicking on which link?

    If that issue still exist please create a new support request with more details. I will close this one for now.

    The issue was the default for ‘post_type’ is ‘post’ so instead of omitting that parameter I had to explicitly set it.

    So in cronCreatePDFs.php, instead of:
    query_posts('p='.$post->ID);
    I set it to:
    query_posts('post_type='.$post_type.'&p='.$post->ID);

    and define $post_type to be whatever my CPT slug is. In my case, I get it from the query string.
