HELP! Custom Post Types not showing in Category Widget

  • Hello!

    I am using the LightBright template, which uses Custom Post Types.

    As I didn’t have Categories or Tags for each post enabled, I activated them in register_post_type.

    I can now create categories and tags for each of my custom posts.

    HOWEVER, when using the Categories Widget in the Sidebar, I do see my categories but clicking on any one of them leads to a 404.

    How can I solve this? Thanks in advance.

  • I have exactly the same problem and am using 2010 theme.

    Category / sub cats appear in the category widget OK, but only regular ‘posts’ appear when clicking the category. Any custom post item with a category is NOT shown ??

    @alex – installing “AVH Extended Categories” and “Ultimate Post Type Manager” plugins solved it for me !

    Hi Dave,

    The AVH category plugin is great. It now displays custom categories (along with total items etc..) but even though it says there are 20 items in the category (all from custom posts) clicking the category link still shows none found. Is there a specific setting in Post Type Manager I need to set for this to work?

    I really appreciate the help!

    Hi Alex,

    Just installing it worked for me…

    Make sure you’re not using the classic WordPress Widget to display your categories.

    Hi,
    I have installed the AVH plugin, however I don’t know how to create custom categories. Currently, my categories are alphabetized with parent and children relationships. The parent child category is displayed in the content section,however they are not grouped together on the sidebar. I want to group them by more general subjects with children subcategories….I’m using the Smart Ones theme. Where can I find simple instructions.
