Post Type not Available to create Post Form

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: I cannot select one of my custom post types in the Form editor, so I cannot create those custom posts with Forms.

Solution: The option "publicly_queryable" must be checked in the Post Type editor screen Options panel in order to be able to use Forms to create these posts.

I'm trying to create a post form for one of my post types, but i noticed it and another post type are not showing up in the "Post Types to create/edit:" area. I've tried deactivating and activating them again. Never seen this issue before.

Hi, can you try the following troubleshooting steps first?
- If your site uses a server-side caching system like Memcached, clear or purge those caches and retest.
- Go to Toolset > Post Types and edit one of the missing post types. Scroll to the "Options" section and be sure "show_ui" and "publicly_queryable" are checked, and "exclude_from-search" is unchecked.
- Temporarily deactivate all plugins except Types, Views and Forms, and activate a default theme like Twenty Seventeen. Try again. If the problem was resolved, reactivate your theme and other plugins one by one until the problem returns.
- Make sure at least one post has been published in each of the missing post types, then test again.
- Tell me more about the missing post types. Did you create them in Types? Are they used in post relationships? Anything unusual about them?

Ah -that's it. I thought the public queryable removed the front-end page only, didn't realize it disabled it for CRED too. I don't want the posts to have a single-view but want people to be able to submit the content. I guess the solution is to use access but would be great to be able to remove the front-end single view but still allow for CRED.
