register post type question

  • could someone tell me whether or not register_post_type() needs to be called via add_action and if so is it possible to call it from any other hook than init …. ultimiatly i am trying to create a form&button to register a new post type – any help appreciated

  • The init action is recommended–but take a look at how a plugin does that…

    thanks have looked at customposttypeui but i need to do it in the code and i cant figure out how he did it – however someone else has advised me that the form output needs to go into the options table and then the add_action(init needs to call some function to check this table and THEN run the register_post_type … i will try that later

    Hi guys!

    I have a problem with custom posts types, I have created a new post type for books, everything goes well until I click the publish button, it redirects me to the ‘Posts’ panel, like if the book post was a normal post, and the new book post I have published does not appear in the books list (the list of books posts), does anyone of you know why is it?
