 * It was working perfectly and then stopped showing the most popular posts after
   I moved the posts from regular “POSTS” tab to new post types made by Custom Post
   Type UI. I went to setting and tried to find a way to change the post type to
   assign to the list but can’t find it. Is it possible to assign custom posts to
   this list?
 * Thanks!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fdoes-this-plugin-work-with-custom-post-type-ui%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi [@ayano-hisa-photo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ayano-hisa-photo/),
 * Yes, I don’t see why WPP wouldn’t work with Custom Post Type UI. All that plugin
   does is provide an user interface (hence the UI in its name) to create/edit custom
   post types.
 * Make sure you’re passing the right custom post type name to WPP and that your
   CPT is configured to be publicly accessible, otherwise WPP won’t be able to find
   them.

 * Oh I didn’t realize it gives example codes to make changes. So convenient!
 * I added
 * <?php
    $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘creators_life,basic_life_creators,artist_grant’);
 * wpp_get_mostpopular($args );
 * in the Snippets plugin but it still doesn’t show up. Any idea?
 * Thanks!

 * Looks good to me so the problem likely lies somewhere else. Where is the popular
   posts list supposed to show? Also, are you using a caching plugin by any chance?

 * OK… Hmmm…
 * Popular posts are supposed to show on the right side bar below 2 ads and social
   media. It says “Most Popular” but without the list.
 * No I am not using caching plugin and I don’t know what it is. What does it do?
   Should I use it?

 * I actually have other problems on other page.
 * Like this page supposed to show archive from a custom post type but it shows 
   nothing.
    [https://creatorscycle.com/basic_life_creators/](https://creatorscycle.com/basic_life_creators/)
 * And this page is supposed to show 2 more posts in the archive but they are missing.
   
   [https://creatorscycle.com/artist_grant/](https://creatorscycle.com/artist_grant/)
 * So maybe it’s related to this issue… This issue has to be because of either Elementor
   or CPT UI.
 * After fixing this, maybe the popular posts will show up…. I hope.

 * To he honest, I think you should consider getting a developer to look into all
   these issues for you at this point. Can’t help with Elementor nor theme related
   problems as that’s out of the scope of support I provide here.
 * If there’s anything WPP related I can help with please don’t hesitate to ask.

 * Oh I didn’t mean to ask you to work on Elementor or theme issues… I already asked
   Elementor for help with the posts not showing up on archive page as I have their
   pro version. I was just giving the info because I thought it might be part of
   the reason why popular posts are not showing up.

 * Just found out why popular posts not showing up… I just needed to assign the 
   new post types within Elementor but not with the snippets. I guess Elementor 
   overwrites snippets. It was not even related to the other errors but just about
   me not thinking through…

 * Glad to know you were able to figure out! And thanks for sharing how you fixed
   it as well, I’m sure future readers might appreciate that.
