[Resolved] Unable to see a custom post type in Appearance > Menus

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

Problem: I cannot find a custom post type in the Menu management screen. I have enabled the "show in nav menus" option for this post type, but it still does not appear.

Solution: Check the Screen Options tab and make sure the CPT is enabled here as well.

I have 5 different Custom Post Types set up and am able to create menu items for only 4 of them as the fifth does not appear. in the attached screenshot you'll see the CPTs "Bookings", "Ticket Variations", "Tickets" and "Voyages", but the CPT "Vessels" is not shown.

The option show_in_nav-menus is already selected for this CPT.

Can you advise on what may be causing the issue?

Hi, can you check the "Screen Options" panel in the top right corner of the admin screen, and make sure the CPTs are enabled here as well? This step isn't obvious, and might be overlooked.

That's sorted it, curious that it chose not to display one of them, thanks!
