Unlocking the full potential of WordPress with Custom Post Types and Custom Fields

[@buildingonwordpress]

🎉 Extended Cheat Sheet: ✅ Post Type In WordPress, a post type is a content type or data structure. WordPress has default post types like "Posts" (for blog posts) and "Pages" (for static content), and you can create custom post types to suit your specific content needs. ✅ Post A post is an individual piece of content that belongs to a specific post type. For instance, a blog post is an individual post within the "Posts" post type. ✅ Meta / Custom Field Meta or custom fields allow you to add additional data to your posts. This data can be used to provide extra information about a post, such as author details, publication date, or any other custom information you want to associate with a post. ✅ Post Archive Layout In WordPress, a post archive is a page that displays a list of posts based on a specific criteria, like category, tag, or date. ✅ Single Post Layout A single post layout is the page dedicated to displaying an individual post in detail. It's where users can read the entire content of a post, view its associated metadata, and engage with any custom fields or additional information you've added.

Very cool and helpful. Thank you.

Perfect. Thanks! Next time, you can maybe go to the next level, and for example look at various options for sorting on archive pages, based on custom fields. For example, Events, sort by Event date. Only show event in the future etc.

14:03, What about if I want more than one image? 🤔 Good stuff! Thanks

[@buildingonwordpress]

Hi @bneiAnusim, thanks! If you need more images in your CPT simply add more image fields in the ACF field group and you should be good to go. Whichever image is the primary image is the one that would get the _thumbnail_id as you can only have one featured image per post. Then simply tap into your other images in your single post template using their field names e.g. my_image_2, my_image_3, etc.

Can anyone show how to use custom fields with the Twenty Twenty-Four theme that comes pre-installed with WordPress?

Hello, here is the passage that has been described but how to visualize the options of the subject under the article? It does not apply to the options of the topic. Once again, your page will show you the options on the topic. Thank you

Hey! Thank you for the great video. Now I'm in the implementation phase and encountering the following issue. I need your advice on a URL problem. My goal is to have a nested URL structure, but I'm having trouble achieving it. Here's an example: - I've created a CPT "Wiki" and a taxonomy with multiple levels, also in ACF: - Main category - Subcategory I want the permalink for the post to look like this: /wiki/main-category/subcategory/post But currently, the permalink looks like this: /wiki/post The same for the category archive page: /wiki/main-category/subcategory instead of this: wiki/taxonomy/main-category/subcategory Thanks in advance!
