Custom post type in dashboard

Hello Rob,

It seems fine from our end. Nothing wrong with your shortcode. We are Pretty Sure it has something to do with your custom post type.

Thanks, Oritro.

When I hard code line 74 of class/frontend-dashboard.php as follows, it works OK:
'post_type' => 'private_post', //$post_type,
so post_type="private_post" is not being parsed?

I can’t quite see a problem with my custom post type definition:

/*-- register Private Post Type for counselling ---*/
if ( ! function_exists('cpt_private_post') ) {
// Hook into the 'init' action
add_action( 'init', 'cpt_private_post', 0 );

// Register Custom Post Type
function cpt_private_post() {

	$labels = array(
		'name'                => _x( 'Private Posts', 'Post Type General Name', 'text_domain' ),
		'singular_name'       => _x( 'Private Post', 'Post Type Singular Name', 'text_domain' ),
		'menu_name'           => __( 'Private Post', 'text_domain' ),
		'parent_item_colon'   => __( 'Parent Private Post:', 'text_domain' ),
		'all_items'           => __( 'All Private Posts', 'text_domain' ),
		'view_item'           => __( 'View Private Post', 'text_domain' ),
		'add_new_item'        => __( 'Add New Private Post', 'text_domain' ),
		'add_new'             => __( 'Add Private Post', 'text_domain' ),
		'edit_item'           => __( 'Edit Private Post', 'text_domain' ),
		'update_item'         => __( 'Update Private Post', 'text_domain' ),
		'search_items'        => __( 'Search Private Posts', 'text_domain' ),
		'not_found'           => __( 'Private Post Not found', 'text_domain' ),
		'not_found_in_trash'  => __( 'Private Post not found in Trash', 'text_domain' ),
	);
	$args = array(
		'label'               => __( 'private_post', 'text_domain' ),
		'description'         => __( 'Private Posts', 'text_domain' ),
		'labels'              => $labels,
		'supports'            => array( 'title', 'editor', 'excerpt', 'author', 'thumbnail', 'comments', 'custom-fields', 'page-attributes', ),
		'hierarchical'        => false,
		'public'              => true,
		'show_ui'             => true,
		'show_in_menu'        => true,
		'show_in_nav_menus'   => true,
		'show_in_admin_bar'   => true,
		'menu_position'       => 5,
		'menu_icon'           => 'dashicons-pressthis',
		'can_export'          => true,
		'has_archive'         => true,
		'exclude_from_search' => true,
		'publicly_queryable'  => true,
		'capability_type'     => 'post',
	);
	register_post_type( 'private_post', $args );

      }
}

Suggestions?

PROBLEM RESOLVED

Oops – I have made an error!

I was looking at the text editor, and I discovered some formatting within the shortcode. When removed, it worked perfectly.

Apologies!
