 * Hi,
    I have problems with the Capabilities of the Post Type module.
 * If in the text field “Capability type”
 *     ```
       m7xposition
       m7xpositions
       ```
   
 * and “Capabilities”,
 *     ```
       edit_post : edit_m7xposition
       read_post : read_m7xposition
       delete_post : delete_m7xposition
       edit_posts : edit_m7xpositions
       edit_others_posts : edit_others_m7xpositions
       publish_posts : publish_m7xpositions
       read_private_posts : read_private_m7xpositions
       create_posts : edit_m7xpositions
       ```
   
 * I enter my personalization, nothing changes for my user.
 * Of course, I removed and added the custom capabilities to my user role, which
   I needed.
 * Even if I set everything by default and remove “post” from “Capability type”,
   I still can edit the posts of my CPT.
 * it’s normal?
 * thank you
    Greetings`

 * Hello,
 * Thanks for the feedback!
 * The [Post Types Capabilities](https://typerocket.com/ultimate-guide-to-custom-post-types-in-wordpress/)
   can be tough to setup. Since the ACF Extended Post Types module is just an UI
   that use the native WP `register_post_type()` behind the scene, I would recommend
   to first register your post type in PHP and try to make it work with your capabilities
   setup.
 * Then once it works as expected, use the ACF Extended Post Type module to register
   it correctly from the UI.
 * Hope it helps!
 * Have a nice day!
 * Regards.
