 * I’m having problems showing all custom post tabs on a multisite wordpress.
 * Everything works fine in all the sites for the common post type. Then, on the
   first wordpress, the tabs appear correctly. However, in the other sites only 
   the first type appear. Config is the same for all.
 * First site works ok

 * Other sites, same config and indexes are ok

 * But custom content tabs here don’t appear:

 * Hello [@diegonorzex](https://wordpress.org/support/users/diegonorzex/)
 * I will try to help as best as i can here.
   Firstly Custom Post Types are not supported
   by default.You would actually need to code that part [https://docs.wptypesense.com/advanced-custom-post-types/](https://docs.wptypesense.com/advanced-custom-post-types/)
   Which it seems you’ve already done judging by the custom post types showing up.
   Secondly on multisites – the plugin only works on a per site activation.So network
   activating the plugin will not work.
 * If you have created an add-on plugin to work along with the typesense I suggest
   you activate that on a per site basis too.
   Lastly – if you haven’t already i’d
   suggest adding prefix to your collection [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-support-for-collection-prefix/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-support-for-collection-prefix/)
   otherwise you’d risk one sites posts overwriting anothers when indexed. This 
   also requires you to add prefix on a per site basis.I hope this helps.

 * Hi [@diegonorzex](https://wordpress.org/support/users/diegonorzex/) 
   Are you 
   activating this plugin ( customization ) on a per site basis too ?

 * Yes! Finally figured it out. I think it might be a bug?
 * After the first site, on the plugin config page you can add all the categories
   but they won’t appear in the live site.
 * The solution was, after doing that and seeing the categories are correct on the
   post types in the Search with Typesense config plugin, you need to go to the 
   customize look and appearance of the search section. There everything will preview
   ok. The solution was to remove a custom post type, save, and add it again and
   the changes finally went live on the site. I think something on the plugin config
   page isn’t working well and needs to be done from that part of the wordpress 
   admin.
 * Hope you guys can figure it out. Great job and great plugin!
