 * Is there any way the outstanding plugin supports custom post types? Like if a
   user posts not blog post, but a custom post type? It does not seem to work with
   custom post types…

 * There are (I believe) explicit checks for Post and Page types, on purpose.
    If
   you want to add support for a custom post type, you’ll need to write that support
   yourself.
 * If you know PHP, and know how to build WordPress plugins, I’ll give you some 
   pointers how to add support to Achievements for a custom post type.

 * Not that I am a super PHP programmer, but I would say if you give me some hints
   I am sure I will be able to figure out the rest. Thank you very much!

 * Start by looking at /includes/extensions/bbpress.php.
    You’ll need to duplicate
   this class into a custom plugin (to use as a base), and load it like so:
 * \`
    function russ_init() { require ‘the_new_class.php’; } add_action( ‘dpa_init’,‘
   russ_init’ ); `
 * You’ll want to rename all the functions etc so they are specific to your purposes.*
   Assuming* you want to capture regular WordPress do_actions for a specific post
   type (such as “draft_to_publish”, etc), put those actions into the $this->generic_cpt_actions
   property, and be sure to update the event_name() method to return the appropriate
   value.

 * Im not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I am currently running
   a wordpress theme called “flavor” from industrial themes. The theme contains 
   a bunch of minisites that are created using custom post types. It also has woocommerce
   support and buddypress. I am trying to create a site that members can login on
   the frontend, create /upload their own content (custom post types), and unlock
   achievements based on their reviews, views, best post, most viewed, etc. My question
   is, is it possible for members to do this using custom post types? I think it
   normally works with normal posts or pages, but Ive heard of sites that have made
   it work with custom post types..? Also, my goal is to allow members with a free
   membership gain achievements through posting their own content and competeing
   with other members, but also allow paid members to gain awards/achievements and
   even be payed from clicks. do you know if your plugin works well with any affiliate
   software that could handle this? Any insight is greatly appreciated.

 * It really isn’t. Can you please post your own topic? This one is marked resolved
   and what you are asking has nothing to do with this thread.
