$my_query->post_type refers to the post type of the query (in this case an array), and not the results. (Its recommended to use $my_query->get(‘post_type’) too, but anyway…).

You can use: echo ‘movie’ === get_post_type( 123 ) ? ‘Yes’ : ‘No’; But if you need to check it many times in your theme, you might consider defining your own helper function: if( ! function_exists( ‘is_movie’ ) ) { function is_movie( $mixed = null ) { return ‘movie’ === get_post_type( $mixed ); } } … Read more

Refer to the manage_posts_columns filter, and also the manage_posts_custom_column action. Here is a really old tutorial, linked from the Codex, that might be instructive.
