* I’ve enabled my custom post types in the settings and the folders panel shows
up when viewing them, but I cannot drag any posts to them. I can do so with regular
posts, though. I’ve disabled several other plugins except Gravity Forms, Advanced
Custom Fields, and WP-Migrate (which are essential to the site) but the plugin
still does not work.

* Hi [@solerous](https://wordpress.org/support/users/solerous/),
* Sorry to hear you’re having trouble.
* When you hover over one of your custom post type items, does the “move” icon
show up in the first column (like it does for posts)? If so, what happens when
you try to drag it to a folder?
* How did you create the custom post type? Did you use a plugin or did you register
it yourself via `register_post_type`?

* Thanks for the quick response. There is no cross when I hover. I created these
custom post types using a child theme and register_post_type.

* If you visit the admin page for your custom post types and click “Screen Options”
in the upper right, is there a “Move to Folder” column?
* I assume you registered the post type in the child theme’s functions.php file?
If so, is it within a WordPress action such as `init`?
* Would it be possible for you to paste the code that is used to register the post
type so I can try it?

* There is no option for Move to Folder in Screen Options.
* I do see the option to add it like a taxonomy in the post on the right hand side
under Categories.
* I did not register the post type using a specific function. It’s just defined
in functions.php like so:
* ```

* Thanks for the additional info. So far I’m not having any luck reproducing the
issue for some reason.
* Can you try moving the post type registration into an [init](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/init/)
action to see if that makes a difference? If that still doesn’t work, can you
try changing the `priority` parameter of your `init` action, once to -100 and
then try again using 100?
* Let me know if that makes a difference.
* FYI, I’m going to be out of the office the rest of the day but will continue
looking into this later tonight or tomorrow.

* I tried that and it still didn’t work. Doing it at 100 threw some warnings with
the nav-walker and other elements.

* Thanks again for the additional info, that’s very helpful. I still haven’t figured
out a way to reproduce the issue though. Is there any chance you could send me
a link to a zip of your theme files (the main theme and the child theme)? If
you don’t want to post it publicly, you could send it via our [contact page](http://wickedplugins.com/contact/).

* Thanks for looking into it. The contact form you linked does not accept files
in zip format. The theme I’m using is a free one available at [https://colorlib.com/wp/themes/dazzling/](https://colorlib.com/wp/themes/dazzling/)
* Is there some other way I can get you the child theme let me know.

* Hi [@solerous](https://wordpress.org/support/users/solerous/),
* Thanks for sending the files and your help with this.
* Can you please try changing the priority of your `init` action to 10 and adding
the following code to the end of your `functions.php` file:
* ```
$wicked_folders_admin = Wicked_Folders_Admin::get_instance();
add_action( 'manage_pages_custom_column', array( $wicked_folders_admin, 'page_custom_column_content' ), 10, 2 );
```
* I’m hoping this will fix it. Let me know.

* That did it! Phew. Thanks for all the hard work in getting this working. If my
client approves, I will definitely be getting the pro version.

* Great, glad to hear that worked! That’s for all your help troubleshooting the
issue.
* BTW, here is a slightly different version of the previous code snippet that prevents
an error from occurring if the plugin is deactivated:
* ```
if ( class_exists( 'Wicked_Folders_Admin' ) ) {
$wicked_folders_admin = Wicked_Folders_Admin::get_instance();
add_action( 'manage_pages_custom_column', array( $wicked_folders_admin, 'page_custom_column_content' ), 10, 2 );
}
```
