FAQ

You may need to edit the permalink of custom post type.

By default, WordPress will not work Date-based permalinks of custom post type.

For example, a month link generates a link in a format like /<custom post type name>/date/YYYY/MM/, if you set Numeric in Common Settings in Permalink Settings.

The month link has the following two patterns depending on the Common Settings.
But a link like below will not work.

/<custom post type name>/YYYY/MM/ (Day and name, Month and name, Post name)
/<custom post type name>/date/YYYY/MM/ (Numeric)

Recommend that you install the plugin in order to edit the permalink, if you are using a Date-based permalinks by the Widget.

And try the following:

Custom Post Type Rewrite
https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-post-type-rewrite/

If you installed multiple plugins that can edit permalinks, the rewrite rules or permalinks may interfere.

In that case, you can disable the generation of permalinks by setting the following two constants in wp-config.php or the theme’s function.php.

CUSTOM_POST_TYPE_WIDGETS_DISABLE_LINKS_ARCHIVE
CUSTOM_POST_TYPE_WIDGETS_DISABLE_LINKS_CALENDAR

define( ‘CUSTOM_POST_TYPE_WIDGETS_DISABLE_LINKS_ARCHIVE’, true );
define( ‘CUSTOM_POST_TYPE_WIDGETS_DISABLE_LINKS_CALENDAR’, true );

You can use the action hook custom_post_type_widgets/recent_posts/widget/prepend to adding thumbnails.

Code sample is as follows:

function cptw_hooks_setup() {   add_action( 'custom_post_type_widgets/recent_posts/widget/prepend', 'cptw_recent_posts_prepend', 10, 4 ); } add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'cptw_hooks_setup' );  function cptw_recent_posts_prepend( $widget_id, $posttype, $instance, $recent_post ) {   if ( has_post_thumbnail( $recent_post ) ) {     echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $recent_post );   } }

Insert the above code into functions.php in your theme.
