03 / Website use cases
Where to use post type label
Sites with recipes, guides, case studies and products often share one template or show mixed search results, and readers cannot tell what kind of item they are on. Post type label shows the type's own name, in the site language, as text or a badge, and can link to the list of everything of that type.

08 / Common setup problems
Troubleshoot post type label
Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.
Why is the link missing?
The type has no archive; pages never have one.
Why is the name in another language?
It uses the names the type was registered with, translated with the site language.
Why is nothing shown?
The post is not public, or its type is not viewable.
Can I rename it?
Use text before and after, or rename the type where it is registered.
Post type label plugin questions
Does it need Elementor Pro?
No. It works with the free version of Elementor.
Where does it get its information?
From the post type the post being viewed belongs to, and its registered names.
Where should I place it?
In a single post, page or product template, or directly on a page. It reads the post being viewed.
Why does nothing show in some cases?
Drafts, private and password-protected posts show nothing. In the editor a short note explains why, and a fallback text can be set.
Does it work with custom post types?
Yes. It uses each type's own registered names.
