 * My post type has a slug of heropress-essays and the title is simply Essays.
   Upon
   further review I see you allow php code as well, which I previously used with
   Widget Logic, so I could do that, but it seems like this is a bug you might want
   to fix.The post type was made with code generated by GenerateWP.com

 * Hi [@topher1kenobe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/topher1kenobe/),
 * Thanks for the screenshot and the additional details. We’ll relay this to our
   dev team for further verification. For now, we recommend using the **Widget Logic**
   feature as a temporary workaround while we investigate a possible fix.
 * Also, is there any post type that is available in the Custom Post Type tab that
   is also generated by GenerateWP.com?

 * The logic path is working. No, I don’t think any of the post types made that 
   way are working.

 * Hi [@topher1kenobe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/topher1kenobe/),
 * I hope youre doing well. We confirmed with our dev team that Widget Options only
   includes public post types by default.
 * However, you can include additional post types including private or custom ones
   by using the following filter hook: **apply_filters(‘widgetopts_update_global_types’,
   $types);**
 * For Example: To include a custom post type like `my_custom_type`, you can add
   this to your theme’s `functions.php` file or a custom plugin:
 * **add_filter(‘widgetopts_update_global_types’, function($types) {
   $types[‘my_custom_type’]
   = get_post_type_object(‘my_custom_type’);return $types;});
 * This will make your custom post type available within Widget Options. Let us 
   know how it goes.
 * Kind Regards,
   Mej, Widget Options Team
