Hi, there.
I’ve developed a plugin to manage swimming competitions. With that, I’ve registered two custom post types, one is athletes and the other is competitions. In Recent Posts everything works fine except for this two CPTs..I’m able to view just one of them, the last one in particular. In Cornerstone settings though I can view both of them…
Could you please give me a hint about how I can resolve this issue?

Thanks very much

PS I’m using WordPress 4.3.1, X 4.1.1 and Cornerstone 1.0.6

Hello Raffaella,

Thank you for the complete credentials above.
Please find this code on your child theme’s functions.php file:

function add_event_post_type( $types ) {
  $types['dkkr_competitions'] = 'dkkr_competitions';
  return $types;
}
add_filter( 'cs_recent_posts_post_types', 'add_event_post_type', 999 );

Then replace with this:

function add_event_post_type( $types ) {
  $types['dkkr_competitions'] = 'dkkr_competitions';
  $types['dkkr_athletes'] = 'dkkr_athletes';
  return $types;
}
add_filter( 'cs_recent_posts_post_types', 'add_event_post_type', 999 );

Hope this helps.

Hello there!

Yes, it works!!! The only thing I had to fix was obviously the category, that has to match with the one of my custom post type.

So, if anyone needs to add his own custom post type with his own taxonomies, the code to add to functions.php in the child theme is the following:

function add_event_post_type( $types ) {
  $types['your-custom-post-type-1'] = 'your-custom-post-type-1';
  $types['your-custom-post-type-2'] = 'your-custom-post-type-2';
  ...
  return $types;
}
add_filter( 'cs_recent_posts_post_types', 'add_event_post_type', 999 );

Then overriding the recent posts shortcode

function x_shortcode_recent_posts_override( $atts ) {
  extract( shortcode_atts( array(
    'id'          => '',
    'class'       => '',
    'style'       => '',
    'type'        => 'post',
    'count'       => '',
    'category'    => '',
    'offset'      => '',
    'orientation' => '',
    'no_image'    => '',
    'fade'        => ''
  ), $atts, 'x_recent_posts' ) );

  $allowed_post_types = apply_filters( 'cs_recent_posts_post_types', array( 'post' => 'post', 'your-custom-post-type-1' => 'your-custom-post-type-1', 'your-custom-post-type-2' => 'your-custom-post-type-2', ... => ... ) );
  $type = ( isset( $allowed_post_types[$type] ) ) ? $allowed_post_types[$type] : 'post';

  $id            = ( $id          != ''          ) ? 'id="' . esc_attr( $id ) . '"' : '';
  $class         = ( $class       != ''          ) ? 'x-recent-posts cf ' . esc_attr( $class ) : 'x-recent-posts cf';
  $style         = ( $style       != ''          ) ? 'style="' . $style . '"' : '';
  $count         = ( $count       != ''          ) ? $count : 3;
  $category      = ( $category    != ''          ) ? $category : '';

Now this line
$category_type = ( $type == ‘post’ ) ? ‘category_name’ : ‘portfolio-category’;
has to be replaced with this

if ($type == 'x-portfolio' ):
  	$category_type = 'portfolio_category';
  elseif ($tye == 'your-custom-post-type-1' ):
  	$category_type = 'your-custom-taxonomy-1';
  elseif ($type == 'your-custom-post-type-2' ):
  	$category_type = 'your-custom-taxonomy-2';
  elseif (...)
  else:
    $category_type = 'category_name';  
  endif;

And then again

$offset        = ( $offset      != ''          ) ? $offset : 0;
  $orientation   = ( $orientation != ''          ) ? ' ' . $orientation : ' horizontal';
  $no_image      = ( $no_image    == 'true'      ) ? $no_image : '';
  $fade          = ( $fade        == 'true'      ) ? $fade : 'false';

  $js_params = array(
    'fade' => ( $fade == 'true' )
  );

  $data = cs_generate_data_attributes( 'recent_posts', $js_params );

  $output = "<div {$id} class=\"{$class}{$orientation}\" {$style} {$data} data-fade=\"{$fade}\" >";

    $q = new WP_Query( array(
      'orderby'          => 'date',
      'post_type'        => "{$type}",
      'posts_per_page'   => "{$count}",
      'offset'           => "{$offset}",
      "{$category_type}" => "{$category}",
      ''
    ) );

    if ( $q->have_posts() ) : while ( $q->have_posts() ) : $q->the_post();

      if ( $no_image == 'true' ) {
        $image_output       = '';
        $image_output_class = 'no-image';
      } else {
        $image              = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id(), 'entry-cropped' );
        $bg_image           = ( $image[0] != '' ) ? ' style="background-image: url(' . $image[0] . ');"' : '';
        $image_output       = '<div class="x-recent-posts-img"' . $bg_image . '></div>';
        $image_output_class = 'with-image';
      }

      $output .= '<a class="x-recent-post' . $count . ' ' . $image_output_class . '" href="' . get_permalink( get_the_ID() ) . '" title="' . esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'Permalink to: "%s"', csl18n() ), the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) ) ) . '">'
                 . '<article id="post-' . get_the_ID() . '" class="' . implode( ' ', get_post_class() ) . '">'
                   . '<div class="entry-wrap">'
                     . $image_output
                     . '<div class="x-recent-posts-content">'
                       . '<h3 class="h-recent-posts">' . get_the_title() . '</h3>'
                       . '<span class="x-recent-posts-date">' . get_the_date() . '</span>'
                     . '</div>'
                   . '</div>'
                 . '</article>'
               . '</a>';

    endwhile; endif; wp_reset_postdata();

  $output .= '</div>';

  return $output;
}

add_action('init', 'x_overwrite_shortcode');
function x_overwrite_shortcode() {
  remove_shortcode( 'x_recent_posts' );
  add_shortcode( 'x_recent_posts', 'x_shortcode_recent_posts_override' );
}

Thanks X Staff for your help!!!!
