Hello, I’m new
I’m trying to test the theme on a closed website. As soon as i switch on newspaper theme, all my custom post-types disappear, is there a support for custom post types and also for multi-block posts?
Thanks
Hi,
The theme hasn’t been designed to work by default with CPT. Try to set this http://screencast.com/t/7yX26vFZ to the post type you use: http://screencast.com/t/7yX26vFZ and check if it’s working.
Hope this helps!
Thanks
It didn’t help. We are using post types like “Article” “Reviews” “Lyrics”, and also custom taxonomies like /artist, /album, etc.
We would like to migrate and find the best solution to do it.
Any other has that problem?
Hi,
Please try to modify the td_data_source.php and add the custom post type like this – http://screencast.com/t/gsm4VLXy9W34
$wp_query_args = array(
'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1,
'post_type' => array('post','another_custom_post_type')
);
I have sent you the same screenshot in the previous post so please make sure you add your posts type to the post type array: http://screencast.com/t/lM0FRbKb
You can read more about this here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query
Hope this helps!
Sorry for the inconvenience!
Thanks
I tried to add some of our custom post type, still the same issue. When i activate Newspaper Theme from our latest theme, those post types dissapear on our WP-Admin Panel.
Hi,
Do you use a plugin for custom posts types or you have implemented them within your previous theme? As if you have added them within the theme you need to make the same changes to our theme also. If you don’t know how to do it we recommend to get someone to do it for you or the one who implemented this for you with the previous theme.
Thanks
okey, now I have the custom post types in the theme, also the taxonomies. What about filters in blocks? For example, i want a block to show only post from a custom taxonomy (we use them for artist), but i can choose only by category or tags.

Hi,
You can see how you can register your custom taxonomies here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Taxonomies
Hope this helps!
Thanks
Hey Lucian
maybe we don’t understand each other. We know how to make appear custom taxo on the wp-admin, but we don’t know how to interact with them on the tagdiv blocks. We would like to create blocks for a specific post type or specific taxo, but in the “filters” option only categories and tags are available.
Most likely, “Block6” element which you are using is custom coded by the theme author and is not a part of our standalone plugin. You can check our standard elements here: http://demo.wpbakery.com/vc/wp-admin/
If you need any help with our standard elements, you can let us know. But, since we are not aware of the code that is being used in the custom element like “Block6”, I would advise you to get in touch with the theme author as they are coded by him. Let us know if you have any more questions.
Hi,
Sorry about that, I haven’t understood well!
The theme works like this:
This where the block query is made: http://screencast.com/t/h6JTwp0Lnvv
Then the block parameters are converted in wp_query arguments: http://screencast.com/t/b8TU3CbG
Here the block shortcodes attributes are passed into the query as arguments: http://screencast.com/t/VwnsTMFxxDe
You need to build and add your own custom taxonomy, here are some info about how you can do that: http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Taxonomy_Parameters
Unfortunately the theme hasn’t been tooth to work using custom taxonomies but you could try this implementation on your own, this is not easy job and we suggest you to hire a developer or a freelancer from sites like: http://studio.envato.com/ if you don’t know how to do it yourself.
Unfortunately we cannot offer custom work at this time as we work hard on the development, updates, fixes and support.
Thanks for understanding!
