Hi Support Team,

due to so many positive reviews, I am currently evaluating your Kadence PRO theme to use it for my customer projects.

I have been working with the WP-Toolset Extension for almost 10 years to implement “custom post types” and/or post loops in my customer website projects. Therefore a very good WP Tools integration is crucial for my selection of a WP Theme.

With the standard settings of a “custom post type” based on WP-Toolset Types, unfortunately no WP-Toolset Type based “custom post type” is displayed by default in your “Hook Elements” in the “show on” display settings!

After a long research I identified that the following setting is needed in the WP-Toolset Type “custom post type” configuration:
1) Editor Type: block or “classic”
2) “show_in_rest” Parameter must be activated [automatically if the Block-Editor is selected or manually setted for the “Classic”-Editor

Proposal: Should taken to your documentation – so that your Theme does not fall out of an evaluation with other interested, potential useres who also use the WP-Toolset Extention.

Thanks & Best Regards

Hansjörg
