Custom post types turn a WordPress site into a robust Content Management System.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>They essentially enable you to create different content types for your website in addition to posts and pages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>We'll show you how to make custom post types in WordPress quickly and efficiently in this article.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2>In WordPress, what exactly is a Custom Post Type?\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Content kinds such as posts and pages are examples of custom post types. The term \"post\" has persisted with WordPress as it grew from a simple blogging platform to a comprehensive CMS. A post type, on the other hand, can be any material.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>These post kinds are included by default in WordPress:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cul>\n\u003Cli>Post\u003C\u002Fli>\n\n\n\n\u003Cli>Page\u003C\u002Fli>\n\n\n\n\u003Cli>Attachment\u003C\u002Fli>\n\n\n\n\u003Cli>Revision\u003C\u002Fli>\n\n\n\n\u003Cli>Nav Menu\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003C\u002Ful>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>You have the freedom to name your own post kinds whatever you wish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>If you run a movie review website, for example, you'll almost certainly want to establish a movie reviews post type. This post type can contain a variety of custom fields as well as its own category hierarchy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2>Manually Creating a Custom Post Type\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The problem with using a plugin is that when you deactivate it, your custom post kinds will vanish. Any data you have in those custom post types will remain intact, but they will be unregistered and no longer accessible from the admin area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>If you're working on a client site and don't want to install another plugin, you can create your own post type directly by including the necessary code in your theme's functions.php file or in a site-specific plugin (See: Custom Post Types Debate functions.php or Plugin).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>First, we'll walk you through a fast and completely functional example so you can see how it works.
