   Hi there, hope all is well.

   I've noticed my Theme's Metaboxes do not appear on CPTs, and was wondering what you would suggest without having to add the CPT post_type?

   For example, I have this in my main theme:
   

   CSF::createMetabox( $csf_metabox_post, array(
       'title' => 'Theme Options',
       'post_type' => 'post',
       'context' => 'side',
   ));CopyCopied!

   I understand I can do this:

   'post_type' => array( 'post' , 'my_cpt' ),CopyCopied!

   but I don't want to alter my parent theme each time I have to deal with a CPT.

   Regards
   Stephan

   Hi,

   You can add an "apply_filters" for manage it from child theme or plugin. For eg:

   CSF::createMetabox( $csf_metabox_post, array(
     'title'     => 'Theme Options',
     'post_type' => apply_filters( 'stv11c_metabox_post_types', array( 'post' ) ),
     'context'   => 'side',
   ) );CopyCopied!

   then (from child theme or plugin)

   function add_cpt_metabox_post_types( $types ) {
     $types[] = 'my_cpt';
     return $types;
   }
   add_filter( 'stv11c_metabox_post_types', 'add_cpt_metabox_post_types' );CopyCopied!

   (another way) All arguments can be control by core filters. for eg:

   function add_cpt_metabox_post_types( $args ) {
     $args['post_type'] = array( 'post', 'my_cpt' );
     return $args;
   }
   add_filter( 'csf_{YOUR_METABOX_PREFIX}_args', 'add_cpt_metabox_post_types' );CopyCopied!

   Which way you liked, use it.

   Thank you so much for the examples!
   I've decided to add an option for this in my Theme Options.

   I can retrieve the CPTs using a 'Select' with 'options' => 'post_types'

   This works great, but it also showing 'Post' and 'Page' and I only want to populate CPTs.

   I've tried adding some query_args but it's not working:
   

   array(
     'id' => 'opt-select-13',
     'type' => 'select',
     'title' => 'Select CPT',
     'options' => 'posts_types',
     'query_args'  => array(
       'public' => true,
       '_builtin' => false
     ),
   ),CopyCopied!

   Any ideas?

   Thanks!

   Ok I have this working:
   

   array(
     'id'          => 'opt-select-13',
     'type'        => 'select',
     'title'       => 'Select a CPT',
     'placeholder' => 'Select a CPT',
     'chosen'      => true,
     'multiple'    => true,
     'options'     => 'prefix_get_cpts_only',
   ),
   
   function prefix_get_cpts_only() {
       $args = array(
           'public'   => true,
           '_builtin' => false
       );
       $post_types = get_post_types($args, 'objects');
       $posts = array();
       foreach ($post_types as $post_type) {
           $posts[$post_type->name] = $post_type->labels->singular_name;
       }
       return $posts;
   }CopyCopied!

   If there is a simpler way with the query_args please let me know. Thanks!

   Hi,

   Yes. No worry, it's good way. Also the framework uses similar code like yours for get post types. It's oke.
