[Plugin: kk Star Ratings] Broken with custom post types

It is most probably not working for your custom post types, as your theme may not have enabled support for ‘custom-fields’ for post types.

Have a look here:
Post Type Supports

To check whether it supports it or not, you may need to do the following:

<?php echo post_type_supports( $post_type, 'custom-fields' ); ?>

Where $post_type = You Custom Post Type slug.

This would return true or false on whether it supports it or not.

If it doesn’t, you may need to do the following to support it:

<?php
	add_action('init', 'my_custom_init');

	function my_custom_init() {
		add_post_type_support( 'your-custom-post-type-slug', 'custom-fields' );
	}
?>

Hope this would solve your problem.

Hello Kamal,

Thank you very much for your rapid response. See, I did what you posted and indeed, custom fields support was at first disabled for that particular custom post type. I used your code to enable it and sadly, I still got the error.

Just in case, I deleted the entry and cookies and added a new one, but didn’t do the trick.

I’ll try a different custom post type plugin and see how that works.

Welcome.

Did you try my code in functions.php?

What I did instead was create the custom post type by code in the functions.php and added support for custom-fields like so:

add_action(‘init’, ‘lugares_register’);

function lugares_register() {

$labels = array(
‘name’ => _x(‘Lugares’, ‘post type general name’),
‘singular_name’ => _x(‘Lugar’, ‘post type singular name’),
‘add_new’ => _x(‘Agregar nuevo’, ‘lugar’),
‘add_new_item’ => __(‘Agregar lugar’),
‘edit_item’ => __(‘Editar lugar’),
‘new_item’ => __(‘Nuevo lugar’),
‘view_item’ => __(‘Ver lugar’),
‘search_items’ => __(‘Buscar lugares’),
‘not_found’ => __(‘No hay lugares’),
‘not_found_in_trash’ => __(‘No hay lugares en la papelera’),
‘parent_item_colon’ => ”
);

$args = array(
‘labels’ => $labels,
‘public’ => true,
‘publicly_queryable’ => true,
‘show_ui’ => true,
‘query_var’ => true,
‘rewrite’ => true,
‘capability_type’ => ‘post’,
‘hierarchical’ => false,
‘menu_position’ => null,
‘supports’ => array(‘title’,’editor’,’thumbnail’,’comments’,’custom-fields’)
);

register_post_type( ‘lugares’ , $args );
}

also, I added the following code within the loop of my single-lugares.php template file.

<?php if(function_exists(‘kk_star_ratings’)) : echo kk_star_ratings( get_the_ID() ); endif; ?>

I still get the “an error ocurred” message.

I’ll do some cleaning up to see if something changes.

Hmmm come to think of it, I have a saving function hooked too.

add_action(‘edit_post’, ‘save_details_lugares’);

function save_details_lugares(){
global $post;
//var_dump($post);
$custom_meta_fields = array( ‘horarios’,’direccion’,’descripcion_usuario’,’garantia_tdt’,’telefonos’,’servicio_a_domicilio’ );
foreach( $custom_meta_fields as $custom_meta_field ):
if(isset($_POST[$custom_meta_field]) && $_POST[$custom_meta_field] != “”):
update_post_meta($post->ID, $custom_meta_field, $_POST[$custom_meta_field]);
endif;
endforeach;
}

Do you think that this could be interfering?

No, this will not interfere.

Can not determine what else could be wrong

I’ll try to find what’s wrong and post it here if I can find it.

Thanks a lot anyway, Kamal.

Thank you Dabito ??
