Is possible to episodes have the same "options" as posts?

Hello!

As everybody that uses the plugin knows, podcasts episodes appear as a new type of post on wordpress, separated of “regular” posts.

Because of this, from my experience, most themes have problems dealing with this new type of post. For example, right now, most of the internal options (screen elements) that appear on regular posts aren’t available on the episodes. I think it’s because the theme can’t detect them as posts.

My question is, there is a way to make the episodes have the same internal options as a regular post? Or maybe if a episode becomes a post if podlove can still “see” them as episodes? (if i change the type of the episode to post, the episode is gone from the podcast feed). Maybe if a episode can be an episode and post at the same time…

Thank you!

As far as I know, it will always some custom adjustments on the themes side, where you include the custom post type in the relevant queries, or create cpt specific theme files.

As you already tried and found out, changing the post type makes them basically invisible to the Publisher, because many internal queries rely on that custom post type information.

There is unfortunately no easy adjustment to treat them equally.
