[Resolved] Posttype not showing in CRED form when "public_searchable" is not selected

[a.e.a.m.S]

I am trying to: edit and save an existing CRED form

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: the post-type to create/edit in de settings

I expected to see: the post-type in the settings

Instead, I got: a blank screen, not possible to select the existing post-type

I think i know what's causing the issue, i deselected the option "public_searchable" in the Post type settings, because some of the filled in data in the forms was visible on the front end (client names etc.) if i select this option i CAN edit/save the posttype in question. However, iIt should be editable either way....

Hello,

The publicly_queryable setting determines Whether post_type queries can be performed from the front end. Since our Forms plugin is using Frontend queries, if a post isn't publicly_queryable then it won't show up on our Forms to be selected.

Thats just how this setting is meant to work.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,

Okay, i have to take that in account when i want to edit the form in question....

Am i correct that with the option publicly_queryable not selected the data entered in the form will absolutely not be visible by any other visitor on the front end directly or by a Google search?

Yes that is correct.

It should be notice that having the setting disabled will disable all frontend actions that can be done on the post type.
