"capability_type" => "page"

I can’t set permission by custom post type if capability_type is set as page, I can see it i is defined as post.

Thanks in advance

I tested the custom post type with “Custom Post Type UI” plugin in order to help you. Capability type was set to ‘page’. Such custom post type is unavailable to user without ‘edit_pages’ capability as expected. Open “Admin Menu” for the ‘Administrator’ role and look, what real capabilities are in use to protect your custom post type.
Some mistake takes place possibly if you define custom post type using PHP code and it takes default ‘post’ capability type then.

I want to assign permissions to a custom post type, not to every page. If I declare custom post type as page it doesn’t show in Custom capabilities as checkbox.

Thanks!

Pay attention that WordPress has 2 built-in post types: ‘post’ with capability type ‘post’ and ‘page’ with capability type ‘page’. When you set capability type of your custom post type as ‘page’ you will not see any new capability at ‘Custom capability’ as there is a set of WordPress built-in capabilities, like ‘edit_pages’, ‘delete_pages’, ‘publish_pages’, etc.
