What are Custom Post Types?

[@topeadebayo8863]

Hello Matt, as a wordpress developer that did not know about this... you made the explanation so easy... i had to thank you with a like and a subscription

[@WPMinute]

Thanks for watching 👏

[@adathevents]

In my early days of building with WordPress, I stayed away from creating custom post types. It seemed like a mysterious process. However, after taking time to learn a bit about how the database handles things and having a project that needed 4 custom post types to keep a multi-city, multi-year conference organized and archived --- I got more comfortable. This plugintut explanation would have been helpful in the early part of my journey.

[@WPMinute]

Awesome, Lisa!

[@bostongreen1629]

All I can say, it’s the best post that explains what is a CPT . Bravo

[@arywah]

Excellent analogy of WooCommerce - that made the whole thing so easy to understand - thank you so much

[@anad6448]

Thank you for this great explanation! This is by far the BEST most human way in explaining this concept I've come across so far! I just couldn't get my head around CPT (as well as fields!) but your visual diagrams gave me the light bulb moment!

[@MathiasWeber]

Exactly what I thought

[@galacticambitions1277]

Exactly what I thought too!

[@shauryavolvotkar4915]

soso true! same for me , i just cud never understand what it is

[@LeventZeytinci]

A plain and simple lesson, thank you. Greetings from Istanbul.

[@aniym21000]

Thanks for explaining this! I have seen CPTs mentioned everywhere, but it was hard to wrap my mind around what use cases CPTs are suitable for, compared to a typical post, or a template created with Advanced Custom Fields. This really helped!

[@MrShujashah]

absolutely hit on... best way to teach the things is with examples and thats what you have done.... great content... will never forget custom post types coz of this...

[@GinaAnagnostopoulou]

Thank you for this video. I've been watching many videos where no one would explain what CPT are and what they are for.

[@WPMinute]

Glad it helped!

[@shauryavolvotkar4915]

[@arvi8843]

Great explanation! Thanks! 💯

[@tonishortsleeve211]

Thank you for this video! I was very confused and you helped to understand it better.

[@AlanBillingsOnline]

Nice video, this definitely explains things clearly. However, you can add a ACF to posts as well not just a custom post type. But custom post types are a great organization tool and when linked with ACF front end form and elementor pro templates the work flow is super simplistic for non techies

[@magicalcumbria7635]

Great description thanks. Will be delving into your tuts to get more a handle on this. Good work.

[@PhotoBooth72]

Great video and well explained, can you add custom fields to standard posts and pages or only custom post types? Just so I am clear.

[@WPMinute]

You can add custom fields to standard pages and posts too.

[@PhotoBooth72]

@@WPMinute great, thanks for the quick reply, much appreciated.

[@burkhardtmike]

Thanks for the clear, simple and effecctive explanation. Great job!

[@NoRoads2AllRoads]

I am using CPT in order to segment and keep my dashboard organized mostly between Landing Pages and more recently keeping sections from BB in that I use to tunnel towards other parts of the website. One thing that you could go over is Custom Fields... i have a hard time wrapping my head over them still...

[@WPMinute]

Awesome, Salvador, I'll try to get to custom fields next.

[@BlockchainDaddy]

The piano intro made me tear up a little.. damn you CPTs!

[@fernandoroosterbear871]

Thanks man, it was so usefull!.

[@afflictionmarketing5303]

[@maverick_entertainment21]

Amazing. Thanks for discussing this topic !

[@anjabrox8499]

super nice explained thanks :)

[@216kingDavid1]

this answers so many questions and stays on topic. your sir are awesome thank you! What's the easiest way to customize product pages OR can i add woocommerce to custom post types

[@WPMinute]

Customizing WooCommerce pages gets a little more technical, depends on what you're looking to do. The folks at Beaver Builder have a new product coming out, Beaver Themer. I did a video on that customizing WooCommerce pages. If you're looking to just *place* WooCommerce products on a CPT, checkout my product conductorplugin.com

[@galagainstterror]

can you direct us to a link please?

[@marleneroseshaw]

very clear and helpful - thanks

[@SamTipton]

Why not have a sample plugin file with no-op functions for all the hooks?

[@galagainstterror]

Thank you for this great video. It helps a lot.

[@ashleypeterson8567]

Im looking for ways to code a page template to list custom post type categories... any tips?

[@toglannestor400]

thank you so much boss!!

[@samuelguaragno5597]

Matt, I'm new to the world of wp and I'm trying to learn as much as possible. your videos have helped me understand thing more clearly. I have a question, is there a plugin or a part of the custom post type feature that allows for a drop-down style menu that help narrow your information database down to a few products? thank you

[@mohamedhameed9867]

Thank you Sir for clearing that up for me

[@BradyRecipes]

Thank you

[@AhmadAwais]

Hey, Matt! Are you using Rode Podcaster(if my recollection of lost isn't misleading me then, you use that mic for podcasting) for this, or is it a Shotgun version? I was thinking of doing videos this way but not sure of Rode Podcaster would help me do that (since I have ordered one)

[@WPMinute]

The audio is terrible here, mainly because I'm in a big room with 15 foot ceilings -- load of echo. This is using a cheapo lav mic I bought on Amazon connected to my camera. I use a Heil PR40 for podcasting.

[@youwak2008]

Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge! Greetings from Austria :-)

[@WPMinute]

Greetings!

[@andrewrico8321]

so every post type creates a new pages in the backend?

[@kumbackquatsta]

what about custom relationships between custom post types? what plugins? pods?

[@lubysa5964]

CPT´s are great, Things get tough when you have a big list of post to publish like real estate listings or products listings, import / Export CSV plugins are costly,

[@n0kx]

Where do you create a custom post type? Is there an option to make one in WordPress?

[@shirishkhadgi7209]

Thanks man.

[@ananthukd7732]

[@ananthukd7732]

Now only EnotGlobal is left of the PF twists, the rest is lost ..

[@whittsroofing1867]

ThemeIsle apparently retired this plugin. I guess it made Wordpress too flexible. Maybe Drupal paid them to can it since it brought to Wordpress what they do best :p

[@toriblksongs]

Awesome

[@lambdaboss5528]

Great video, great explanation. Thanks!

[@AS-gg5uz]

Thank you, well explained.
