[Plugin: Catalyst Excerpts Plus] Custom Post Type

The ability to work with custom post types can be hit or miss. It really depends on the structure of the post type itself.

If the custom post type closely follows the structure of a standard WP post, then it is more likely that this feature will work, but if the custom post type uses custom fields and strays from the fields used by WP, then they won’t display as excerpts.

This feature was originally added for a client who’s situation allowed it to work on their site, but we quickly found that there are many custom post types that do not work.

We are currently developing a pro version with admin pages to provide more options and better controls. On the drawing board is a plan to create a system to map custom fields to the fields displayed by the plugin which we hope will open up this feature to working with any custom post type.
