Register Custom Post Type from Plugin

2 Views

I’m trying to register a CPT from a plugin upon activation but seem to have hit a wall… Anyone see anything im missing? I don’t get any errors but the CPT doesn’t show up in the dashboard links…. 

    function ctg_cpt_init() {
    register_post_type( 'ctg_questions',
        array(
            'labels' => array(
                'name' => __( 'Questions' ),
                'singular_name' => __( 'Question' )
                ),
        'public' => true,
        'has_archive' => true,
        'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'questions' )
        )
    );
}
add_action( 'init', 'ctg_cpt_init' );

function ctg_rewrite_flush() {
    ctg_cpt_init();
    flush_rewrite_rules();
}
register_activation_hook( __FILE__, 'ctg_rewrite_flush' );

Thanks,

  1. Pull the CPT registration functionality out of the Plugin activation hook, so that it can fire at init, where you want it to.

    The Plugin activation hook is a one-time only hook; you need your CPT to fire every time at the init hook, not just once.
