Publicize is not working on the Events Pages

[Dale Norenberg]

We are using Jetpack to publicize our posts. As you can see from the screen capture in the right sidebar of a post page, publicize shows in the publish section of the page. This does not show on the events pages. Is there some code that needs to be added?

I also asked Jetpack how to add the necessary code. This is their answer.

How to use Publicize with your Custom Post Types

By default, Publicize is only triggered when you publish a new post. You can, however, extend this to other Custom Post Types. You have 2 options to add Publicize Support to a Custom Post Type:

You can add Publicize support to an existing post type thanks to the add_post_type_support() function. To do so, add the following code to a functionality plugin:

add_action(‘init’, ‘my_custom_init’);
function my_custom_init() {
add_post_type_support( ‘product’, ‘publicize’ );
}
You’ll need to replace “product” by your Custom Post Type name.

You can add Publicize support when registering the post type, like so:

// Register Custom Post Type
function custom_post_type() {

$labels = array(
‘name’ => _x( ‘Products’, ‘Post Type General Name’, ‘text_domain’ ),
);
$args = array(
‘label’ => __( ‘product’, ‘text_domain’ ),
‘supports’ => array( ‘title’, ‘editor’, ‘publicize’, ‘wpcom-markdown’ ),
);
register_post_type( ‘product’, $args );

}
// Hook into the ‘init’ action
add_action( ‘init’, ‘custom_post_type’, 0 );

Can you tell we which file in the Events Calendar Plugin directory I should add the code to.

Thanks,

Rochelle

Hi Rochelle,

That coding should be entered into your theme’s function.php

The custom post type for events is:

tribe_events

Thanks
