“More from” section with CPT

    Hi there –

    I have a CPT (called Podcasts) on this site that the “More from” section isn’t working for. Is there a function I can use to have the theme recognize the CPT for that section on the post pages?

    Right now, I can see the section in the DOM, but it’s empty.

    For clarity: I’m referring to the section in the customizer > Show/Hide Elements > Show the “More From…” section.

    Thank you!

    That’s a good question. Right now, this part of the theme only works with post categories. The tricky part with CPT’s is knowing which custom taxonomy to use, or to just grab the most recent four posts/podcasts. It might be clearer to include a widget there instead that grabs podcast episodes based on the CPT or ones that you hand-select to promote.

    Thanks for the quick response here, Ben!

    Are you suggesting the widget be added within the post content? Or is there a hook I can use to add it automatically to these posts and mimic the theme functionality?

    I see your point, and luckily I don’t need to target any taxonomy, just the most 4 recent podcasts would be fine.

    In the Appearance > Widgets menu, there’s a widget area called “Ad Spot – After Post Content” and any widget placed there will show up right after the content of every post on the site, including CPTs.
