SpencerDub Hey all, sorry to circle back around to a topic from a couple weeks ago, but if I wanted to enable some of the "future" post kinds in the Post Kinds plugin, how would I do that? Should I make a secondary plugin enabling them?

# SpencerDub For example, if I wanted to enable the Wish type. I've seen the FAQ on the WordPress plugin page saying I should add "set_post_kind_visibility( $slug, $show = true )", but I'm unclear about how to specifically go about that. :)

# [Michael_Beckwit i assume run that in a callback on like init or after_setup_theme
# [Michael_Beckwit add_action( 'init', function()
{ set_post_kind_visibility( 'future' ) } );# [Michael_Beckwit didn't try this for syntax errors, but I think it's good as is

[chrisaldrich] SpencerDub, I'll dig into the specifics a bit, but there are a lot of reserved kinds already written in the plugin that have false flags that can be changed to true. The tougher part is that many of them don't have display templates, so you may need to create those.
# [chrisaldrich] I wrote up some details a while back, but the plugin has changed a bit. https://boffosocko.com/2018/06/06/manually-adding-a-new-post-kind-to-the-post-kinds-plugin-for-wordpress/

Loqi [Chris Aldrich] The Post Kinds plugin, essentially an extended version of WordPress’s core Post Formats functionality, allows one to make a variety of types of posts on one’s website that mirrors the functionality provided in a huge variety of social media platf... https://i2.wp.com/boffosocko.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/kinds-metabox-in-the-admin-UI.png?fit=279%2C679&ssl=1

# [chrisaldrich] If you're looking to do "wish" you can change this section: https://github.com/dshanske/indieweb-post-kinds/blob/ceb1e35a124cdf0743e2a75d156d23e11d573b35/includes/register-kinds.php#L704
# [chrisaldrich] You'll want to manually change the line 'show' => false, // Show in Settings so that the `false` value is `true`
# [chrisaldrich] I think you should be able to use one of the pre-existing templates to display it on your site. The readme describes how to do this iirc.
# [chrisaldrich] Yes, that's definitely a better way to go... Has it been documented? I haven't looked in a while...

# [Jeff_Hawkins] So I'm thinking the post kinds plugin actually tags a post with a tag denoting the kind... Does that sound right?
# [Jeff_Hawkins] My question then is the tag available as I filter a post via RSS?

# YeoWorld Hello chaps. I need help integrating smtp mail with wordpress bitnami in gcloud. I followed the tutorial provided by google and it still not working

# [Michael_Beckwit [Jeff_Hawkins] last i saw it's all a taxonomy, so should be available in RSS feeds
# [Michael_Beckwit each kind would have its own since they're all terms

# [Jeff_Hawkins] Thanks... I have some WordPress instances running in a 'boil down mode' to build posts for my aggregation and curation sites. I'm thinking post kinds might help to segregate some of that content out to latenight inclusions or completely skip some of those posts. I believe that might help some.
