View all posts of a custom type

Not sure if this is what you are asking but, I have two custom post types on my website, and the URL to view all posts of a custom post type is edit.php?post_type=mp_shortcodes

If you replace mp_shortcodes with your custom type it might allow you to view all the posts for that custom post type.

Thanks Deviant Media. I tried that, it isn’t working. of course I’m guessing the internal name of the post types. Or maybe there is way to hide them. I’ll have to go browsing tables I think. i’m amazed there isnt a plugin for this

See if either of these two help you.

To use this plugin, create a new folder in your WordPress installation’s wp-content/plugins directory and name it something like custom-post-type-listing. Then, create a new PHP file named custom-post-type-listing.php inside that folder and copy the code above into it.

After activating the plugin through the WordPress admin panel, you’ll see a new menu item named “Custom Post Types” under the “Dashboard” menu.

Don’t install at the same time.

Did you knock those up? Well done, i will try.

I might leave the “Public = TRUE” off?

Yep, those work great thankyou. Even more interesting if you leave the “Public = TRUE” off

Please note that this plugin will only list custom post types that have the 'public' => true argument set when they were registered. That is all. If you put false then it will be the opposite.

If you delete it entirely you get both

Well as long as it works for you. Reach out if you need any adjustments.
