Hi Ben

I’m currently playing with CPTs to get round a small UI problem the correct way (Two different categories of blog posts that need to be treated differently in the archive pages). So I’ve created a CPT for one category (Stories) and left the other (News) as a standard blog post.

I’m using Pods to do the heavy lifting, and I’m trying to replicate the whole UI of writing a post into the user experience of writing the CPT. So no extra fields etc. And generally it is working well.

But I’m struggling to include the two Virtue panels ‘Standard Post Options’ and ‘Post Options’ into the CPT edit screen. Interestingly, the Yoast panel showed up automatically.

I’m guessing that it is going to need a functions.php function to make these panels available to the Story / Stories CPT?

If I develop more complicated CPTs in the future then a bit of basic Virtue interface knowledge would mightoily come in useful!

Cheers, Colin
