Add hook to create_initial_post_types()

[mikeschinkel]

I'd like to propose that create_initial_post_types() in wp-includes/post.php have a filter called 'initial_post_types' (or something else) that will allow a hook to remove default post types and/or modify the attributes of post types before they are registered. I've included a patch to illustrate. The same could be done with the post statues but doing so is a bit more complicated so I didn't implement that in case the core devs hate the idea.

As suggested by dd32 from #9674 I created this new ticket.

Update to /wp-includes/post.php to add a filter called 'initial_post_types'

Thank you! :)

Not blessing it per se, but 3.0 would be the time to review this.

[dd32]

We're in feature freeze, Approaching Beta in the near future, This is an enhancement and is not a regression over the previous release. Moving to 3.1 for now.

The addition of the custom post_types to 3.0 has been of benefit, but mearly filtering these post_types is not all that needs to be done to prevent certain post types from being invisible to WordPress.

This would be better fixed in 3.1 as the post_type api and internal use matures.

Agreed. Better to do this one well vs. quickly.

I think we still have a long ways to go decoupling the core taxonomies and core post types...

I was just reviewing my tickets, and this was (partially) addressed in prior version but this ticket was never updated.

HOWEVER, and this does need to be addressed, create_initial_post_types() is called TWICE. See #19692.

The reasons for [14041] still exist. At this point, the run on init is an insurance policy
