[Resolved] Using get_post_types does not return custom post types

Hello

We try to add an ACF options page to each CPT.
For this we want to fetch all registered CPT.

But using get_post_types does not return the registered custom post types. Only build in or the ones crated by WP types, but the ones created WITH WP Types.

For testing purposes we use this code:

function cpt_archive_acf_pages() {

// Fetch registered CPT
$args = array(
'_builtin' => false
);
$output = 'objects'; // 'names' or 'objects' (default: 'names')
$post_types = get_post_types( $args, $output );
print '<pre>';
print_r($post_types);
print '</pre>';
die();

}

add_action('init', 'cpt_archive_acf_pages');

What are we missing?

Thanks
Aldo

Hello Aldo and thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

The default prioirty for the add_action function is 10. At this stage, Toolset did not register its post types and loaded its API yet. Try to register this action at a higher prioirty, let's say 100.
- https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/add_action/
- https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/adding-custom-code/using-toolset-to-add-custom-code/#snippet-execution-timing

Try this for the last line:

add_action('init', 'cpt_archive_acf_pages', 100);

Let me know what you will get.

Perfect. Thank you!
