I am trying to use the Newspaper (default) theme with the GeoDirectory plugin. That plugin has a custom post type called gd_place. It also has its own categories. I am confused on how I can integrate this custom post type into Newspaper.
I went into (Newspaper->Theme panel->CPT & Taxonomy->Custom post types). Under Custom post types, I saw the post type gd_place.
Then in (Pages->News–Front page->TAGDIV COMPOSER), I tried to modify the “block” right under (Trending now). I clicked on (Element->Filter). For the (Post Type), I added the gd_place. I then saved that and expected to see the posts of type gd_place. I had created one already. Instead I see (no posts).
Can you give me some advice about what I am doing incorrectly? Do I also need to modify some code to have this custom post type become visible?
Also, how can I integrate the categories in this plugin into Newspaper?
NOTE: I do NOT represent or work for TagDiv. I am just a fellow TagDiv like yourself. I do use Geodirectory myself, though.
The blocks filter will filter by GD CPTs. You actually have to enter gd_place in the CPT field, since gd_place is the actual name of the CPT.
Note: You can filter by CPTs, but as of the current version you cannot filter by categories within CPTs. So could not use the blocks filter function to filter Places > Restaurants, Bars, Hotels.
If you add gd_place to the filter, it will show GD Places based on whatever sort order you set up, though.

Hi @kevinsikora,
Please check our documentation for Custom Post Type Support -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/custom-post-type-support/
Unfortunately, the GeoDirectory plugin has not been tested with our theme and therefore, we cannot say for sure if it will work or not as expected with the theme, sorry! Also, we cannot provide support for untested plugins.
This is our list with tested plugins with our theme -> https://www.screencast.com/t/cmPkh9jba4sZ
Thank you!
