Friends, I want to tell you that whatever pages or posts there are in WordPress, the type of all of them is a post. If we want to create some custom posters inside Voltage, suppose I want to post news as well on my WordPress, I want to post services as well and it should be exactly like a post and it should have all those features, then it is called custom post type.
We can easily create custom post types in WordPress with the help of plugins but in this video I will teach you how to create custom post types with the help of coding.
functions.php
<?php
add_action( 'init', 'custom_post_type_func' );
function custom_post_type_func() {
//posttypename = services
$labels = array(
'name' => _x( 'Services', 'services' ),
'singular_name' => _x( 'services', 'services' ),
'add_new' => _x( 'Add New', 'services' ),
'add_new_item' => _x( 'Add New services', 'services' ),
'edit_item' => _x( 'Edit services', 'services' ),
'new_item' => _x( 'New services', 'services' ),
'view_item' => _x( 'View services', 'services' ),
'search_items' => _x( 'Search services', 'services' ),
'not_found' => _x( 'No services found', 'services' ),
'not_found_in_trash' => _x( 'No services found in Trash', 'services' ),
'parent_item_colon' => _x( 'Parent services:', 'services' ),
'menu_name' => _x( 'Services', 'services' ),
);
$args = array(
'labels' => $labels,
'hierarchical' => true,
'description' => 'Hi, this is my custom post type.',
'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'excerpt', 'author', 'thumbnail', 'trackbacks', 'custom-fields', 'comments', 'revisions', 'page-attributes' ),
'taxonomies' => array( 'category', 'post_tag', 'page-category' ),
'public' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'show_in_menu' => true,
'show_in_nav_menus' => true,
'publicly_queryable' => true,
'exclude_from_search' => false,
'has_archive' => true,
'query_var' => true,
'can_export' => true,
'rewrite' => true,
'capability_type' => 'post'
);
register_post_type( 'services', $args );
}
?>
