How to use Gutenberg editor on a Custom Post Type

[Peter_Fae]

Hey all. Okay, let me preface this by saying, X-support is the best. You all just KNOW what’s going on. So, while I do understand that certain aspects of coding are pushing the edges (or totally going over) the support technically for X itself, you’re just the most knowledgable and things get done.

So … we’re opening a major spiritual project in service to humanity and i’m really wanting to know how to use the Gutenberg editor on a custom post type. Would someone please help me with this? It would really … REALLY speed up the process of our launch and delivery of the concept to help the people

Everything you all do helps immensely. Yet i’m not sure how to … I mean, the custom post type is part of a plugin. How do I find out the parameters of the plugin to put into the functions.php?

Hi Peter,

What’s the plugin that you’re using to create custom post type? In the above example (https://www.cloudways.com/blog/gutenberg-wordpress-custom-post-type/), portfolio is the parameter name. Likewise, you need to find set your custom post type name and register Gutenberg editor for that post type.

Thanks!
