Hi there,

Is Cornerstone compatible with Types and views please (Toolset)? Same maker as WPML, which I understand is 100% compatible.

https://wp-types.com/

Thanks for your confirmation.

Hi there,

It’s a third party plugin and as we don’t provide support for third party plugins we can’t assure you if it’s fully compatible with X.

Please contact a developer who is familiar with X and this plugin for further assist.

Thanks.

Hi Nightfox, if you tested this and ave experience with it, I’d be interested in learning about it as well.

Hello There,

Thanks for updating this thread!

There is a way to know if you can use Cornerstone for your custom post type. Simply go to Settings > Cornerstone and find if your custom post type is showing then select which of the post types to enable for Cornerstone. Once your enable it, you can use Cornerstone when add a new post of that type.

Hope this helps.

Hi Klass C,

I haven’t tested toolset with X yet – plan to check this out in more detail very soon (this week if all goes to plan). If you happen to do so 1st please do share your notes, I will do the same 🙂

Cheers.

Hey @NightFox and @Klass C,

We would be glad if you could share some information whether that plugin works out smoothly in X.
It would really a big help to other users wanting to know the compatibility of this plugin.

Best Regards.

NP will do! So happy to help considering the amount of help you’ve offered us over the time that we’ve been involved with X 🙂

Adding my name to the list for future reference. Will test it myself as well and post results here.

Update: I created 4 new post types using wp-types and they’re listed in the allowed post types box in the cornerstone settings page. So far, so good. Now, being able to create a layout using views and cornerstone.

Hey guys.

I tried Types and worked fine with X.

After some tests, the final solution I’m using is a plugin called ‘Pods’ to create my Custom Post Types, and ‘Essential Grid’ to show them through my pages. Looks nice.

Pods is 100% free and do the same as Types, so it worth a try. And Essential Grid is a lot easier to use as it has a visual editor for the appearance, etc.

Hope it helps!

Hi @eduardosh and @herko

Thanks for sharing!

Cheers!

Hm, I haven’t been able to get my view working with X-theme and Cornerstone yet. I’m trying to display a grid with items from my custom post type (in this case, a list of children supported by the project this site is for). But in all honesty, I haven’t gone very deep yet.

If someone has time, maybe we can write an article about this? Because if this works, the possibilities are virtually endless. Any type of content, displayed through X… amazing!

Hello @herko,

Though you were able to edit your custom post types with Cornerstone, it will not be added in the recent posts element. In the settings, you have just enabled the Cornerstone editing but not the capability of adding your post types to the elements in Cornerstone. To add you custom post type in the recent posts element, please insert this following code in your child theme’s functions.php file.

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

If you have place the code right, you should be able to get something like this:<br>

We would loved to know if this has work for you. Thank you.

[herko]

Small update: I can add views! 🙂 Now to see how I can add the loop to the layout. Maybe the only way is to add the post type to functions.php, will try that tomorrow. Thanks for your help so far!
