Custom post type – not showing up when Polylang enabled

Hi Chrysti,

It’s working at the moment… (however have had a few other glitches, like our Posts page stopped displaying any content). To fix it I just went into the Polylang settings and hit “Save” on each of the pages.

What does the “Synchronization” settings actually do? Should I turn some of these back on?

Thanks!

Hmm we are having the same issue again. When we post a new post from our “Events” post type, it doesn’t show up on our posts page – even though it is definitely published.

Here are our settings with all the post-types turned off: http://snag.gy/K4LB9.jpg

I’ve just turned on the “Events” post type, and here is the screenshot of the Events pages listed: http://snag.gy/FVgdr.jpg

It looks like the default language is not being set for the new posts that are created?

I went in and edit the posts without the English language set – and now they show up.

I thought if the “Events” post type is disabled in the first screen then it would assume english as the default language?

It’s just a custom post-type, not a plugin… with the following settings:

register_post_type(‘event’, array(
‘labels’ => array(
‘menu_name’ => _x(‘Events’, ‘admin menu’),
‘all_items’ => __(‘All Events’),
‘name’ => _x(‘Events’, ‘post type general name’),
‘add_new’ => _x(‘New Event’, ‘event’),
‘add_new_item’ => __( ‘Add New Event’)
),
‘public’ => true,
‘show_ui’ => true,
‘capability_type’ => ‘post’,
‘hierarchical’ => false,
‘rewrite’ => true,
‘query_var’ => true,
‘menu_icon’ => ‘dashicons-calendar-alt’,
‘supports’ => array(‘title’, ‘editor’, ‘custom-fields’, ‘thumbnail’, ‘page-attributes’)

Here’s the query that we use to display the news/events:

function index_filter($query) {
	if(!is_admin() && $query->is_main_query()){
		if($query->is_posts_page){
			if($_GET['show'] == 'events'){				$query->set('post_type', array('event'));				$query->set('orderby', 'meta_value_num');				$query->set('meta_key', '_ei_start_date');				$query->set('order', 'ASC');			}
			elseif($_GET['show'] == 'news'){				$query->set('post_type', array('post'));			}
			else{				$query->set('post_type', array('post', 'event'));			}
		}
		elseif($query->is_search){
			$query->set('post_type', array('event', 'post', 'downloads', 'page'));
		}
	}
}
add_action('pre_get_posts','index_filter');

We’re not really wanting to use an archive page for ‘Events’… as we’re displaying Posts (normal posts) and Events (custom post type) on the one page – basically just on index.php with pre_get_posts modified to include both events & posts.

I suppose the easiest fix is just to turn on Translations for “Events” and leave it at that.

Strange that we don’t get the same problem for normal posts, only the custom post type though….
