Custom Post Type in backend menu not shown


I have created a custom post type with https://generatewp.com/. I can activate my Plugin, but in the backend menu nothing is displayed.

// Register Custom Post Type
function wp_rating_add_post_type() {

 $labels = array(
    'name'                  => _x( 'Ratings', 'Post Type General Name', 'wp-rating' ),

Solution

  • You have this line in your code:

    'show_in_menu' => false,
    

    That should be true instead of false
