WordPress : comments on custom post type


I created a custom post type called "Movies" thanks to ACF on WordPress and I would like to enable comments on these posts. I found some help here, modifying the functions.php file but it still doesn't work...

Here is the code I inserted in the "only admin" part. I have no clue if I'm doing this the right way...

I'm not a developer. Here's my code.

Thanks for your time.

// Enable comments in ACF
            add_action( 'init', 'movie' );
            function register_cpt_movie() {
                $labels = array(
                    'name' => _x( 'movie', 'movie' ),
                    'singular_name' => _x( 'movie', 'movie' ),
                    'add_new' => _x( 'Ajouter', 'movie' ),
                    'add_new_item' => _x( 'Ajouter une movie', 'movie' ),
                    'edit_item' => _x( 'Modifier', 'movie' ),
                    'new_item' => _x( 'Nouvelle movie', 'movie' ),
                    'view_item' => _x( 'Voir la movie', 'movie' ),
                    'search_items' => _x( 'Recherche', 'movie' ),
                    'not_found' => _x( 'Aucune movie trouvé', 'movie' ),
                    'not_found_in_trash' => _x( 'Aucune movie trouvé', 'movie' ),
                    'parent_item_colon' => _x( 'Parent Service:', 'movie' ),
                    'menu_name' => _x( 'movie', 'movie' ),
                );

            $args = array(
                'labels' => $labels,
                'hierarchical' => false,
                'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'comments', 'excerpt', 'custom-fields', 'thumbnail', 'revisions', 'author', 'page-attributes' ),
                'public' => true,
                'show_ui' => true,
                'show_in_menu' => true,
                'menu_position' => 21,
                'show_in_nav_menus' => true,
                'publicly_queryable' => true,
                'exclude_from_search' => false,
                'has_archive' => true,
                'query_var' => true,
                'can_export' => true,
                'rewrite' => true,
                'capability_type' => 'page'
            );
            register_post_type( 'movie', $args );

Solution

  • The name of the function call back for 'init' hook was wrong. It should no register_cpt_movie not movie.

    The updated code is:

    // Enable comments in ACF
    add_action( 'init', 'register_cpt_movie' );
    function register_cpt_movie() {
        $labels = array(
            'name' => _x( 'movie', 'movie' ),
            'singular_name' => _x( 'movie', 'movie' ),
            'add_new' => _x( 'Ajouter', 'movie' ),
            'add_new_item' => _x( 'Ajouter une movie', 'movie' ),
            'edit_item' => _x( 'Modifier', 'movie' ),
            'new_item' => _x( 'Nouvelle movie', 'movie' ),
            'view_item' => _x( 'Voir la movie', 'movie' ),
            'search_items' => _x( 'Recherche', 'movie' ),
            'not_found' => _x( 'Aucune movie trouvé', 'movie' ),
            'not_found_in_trash' => _x( 'Aucune movie trouvé', 'movie' ),
            'parent_item_colon' => _x( 'Parent Service:', 'movie' ),
            'menu_name' => _x( 'movie', 'movie' ),
        );
    
        $args = array(
            'labels' => $labels,
            'hierarchical' => false,
            'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'comments', 'excerpt', 'custom-fields', 'thumbnail', 'revisions', 'author', 'page-attributes' ),
            'public' => true,
            'show_ui' => true,
            'show_in_menu' => true,
            'menu_position' => 21,
            'show_in_nav_menus' => true,
            'publicly_queryable' => true,
            'exclude_from_search' => false,
            'has_archive' => true,
            'query_var' => true,
            'can_export' => true,
            'rewrite' => true,
            'capability_type' => 'page'
        );
        register_post_type( 'movie', $args );
    }
