FAQ
- Why aren’t all my custom post types listed on the options page?
-
There are four requirements for a custom post type to show up in Map Cap’s settings page.
The post type must:
- be public
- not be a built-in post type eg. page & post
- use a custom capability type (not the default capability of post). This is done when registering the Custom Post Type. In the
$args
array you pass to theregister_post_type
function, your plugin must havecapability_type =>
set to something other than post. - be registered with the
map_meta_cap
argument set totrue
– the default isfalse
. Without this parameter set totrue
, WordPress does not map any meta capabilities.
- Force Mapping
-
As many custom post types do not set the
map_meta_cap
to true, Map Cap offers an option to change the value of themap_meta_cap
.For this to work, the plugin must register the post type on the
init
hook with a priority less than 10,000.This feature works with the Custom Post Type UI plugin plugin but is not guaranteed to work with any other plugins.
- Using the Custom Post Type UI plugin?
-
If you are using the Custom Post Type UI plugin, when adding a custom post type, you must click View Advanced Options and change Capability Type to something other than post. For example, for a custom post type of Stories the capability could be story.
You then need select the custom post type under the Force Mapping section of the Map Cap settings page.
