In the WordPress Dashboard, go to Appearance > Theme Editor. Then open functions.php file of your Astra Child theme and add the following code at the end.

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', function(){ add_filter( 'register_post_type_args', 'wpd_enable_gutenberg_cpt', 10, 2 ); }); function wpd_enable_gutenberg_cpt( $args, $post_type ) { if( $post_type === 'astra-advanced-hook' ) { $args['show_in_rest'] = true; } return $args; } |
