Not showing in Categories

    Hi,

    Great plugin. Makes setting up Custom Post much easier. However, if I select a Category created in the WP Post Add Categories from the Custom Post sidebar, the Custom Post does not show up on the Category pages. If I make a WP Post from the standard WP Add New Post, it shows up as it normally does. What am I missing? How do I get my Custom Posts to show up in the WP Category Taxonomy?

    Thanks!

    Hi, that’s because the default category archive query doesn’t take into account custom post types, only posts.

    To change that you’ll need to:

    * Create an empty plugin like this: https://gist.github.com/sareiodata/76f701e01db6685829db
    * Add the following code to the end of it:
    * 

    
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'add_my_custom_post_type' );
/**
 * @param WP_Query $query
 * @return WP_Query
 */
function add_my_custom_post_type( $query ) {
    if ($query->is_main_query()) 
        $query->set( 'post_type', array( 'post', 'page', 'any_custom_type' ) );
    return $query;
}

    * Install this plugin via FTP (copy it inside wp-content/plugins) or create a zip archive with it and install it via the WordPress plugin upload functionality
