Explain to me how the data selector in the "GK New Blocks Widget" works.

For example: I created 3 different Custom Post Types on my site (aside from the default "Posts"). In Categories, I also created a new category item called "Home Page Gk Blocks" and gave it a slug name of "home-page-cat". In the GK New Blocks Widget data selector I chose "Category Slugs" and underneath wrote "home-page-cat". I then choose 4 posts, 3 from the regular "Posts" and 1 from a Custom Post Type I created called "Women's Health Conditions". I made sure that I assigned each post to the "Home Page Gk Blocks" category. When I went to try this, only the posts that were in the default Posts container displayed. The one in the custom post type "Women's Health Conditions" did not.

Question: How can I solve this, that I can place different posts from different custom post types into the GK News Blocks with your data selector.

I notice the selector has a custom post types as an option but i don't know how to use that. Thanks,

j.

Hi,

Data source: Latest posts, categories slugs and post slugs refer only to the posts.
Custom post type - displays latest custom post type.

That's all in one GK New Blocks widget you can choose only one Data source, you can't mix them together.

so the Custom Post Type data source doesn't have any "arguments"??
