How to add Custom Post Type to RankMath

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

Please make sure the CPT from your theme is publicly visible or publicly queryable.

Alternatively, you can add the following filter to your website to force this CPT to be parsed by our plugin:

add_filter( 'rank_math/excluded_post_types',function( $post_types) {
      $post_types['your_post_type'] = 'your_post_type';
     return $post_types;
}, 11 );

Make sure to change your_post_type with the actual post type on your site.

Here’s how you can add filter/hook to your WordPress site:

Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.

Thank you.

Hello,

Could you please share the exact filter you have added so we can check? The post type name should be shown in that section.

Meanwhile, clear your browser’s cache and transients on your WordPress dashboard > Rank Math > Status & Tools > Database Tools

Looking forward to helping you.

Hello,

Please check how your theme is registering the post type.

Here’s an example of how you should register a post type with the CPT name:

add_action('init', function(){

	register_post_type(
		'movies',
		// CPT Options
		array(
			'labels' => array(
				'name' => __('Movies'),
				'singular_name' => __('Movie')
			),
			'public' => true,
			'has_archive' => false,
			'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'movies'),
		)
	);

});

Rank Math will take the name/title of the CPT from this line: 'name' => __('Movies'),

Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need my assistance with anything else.

Hello,

We might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.

Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.

It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/

You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

We really look forward to helping you.

Hello,

Looks like you have shared the login details but did not incluse the site admin login url.

Could you please add the website;s admin login url as well so that we can use the credentials there to login and check.

We really look forward to helping you.

Thank you.
