Custom post types are referred to the different types of content in a WordPress site such as Post and Pages, the two most common which I am supposing you are familiar with. They help you drive beyond the basic posts and pages by creating diverse content types.<\/p>\n<p>WordPress boasts some of the Post types by default such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Post<\/li>\n<li>Custom CSS<\/li>\n<li>Page<\/li>\n<li>Attachment<\/li>\n<li>Changesets<\/li>\n<li>Revision<\/li>\n<li>Nav Menu<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Out of these, <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.com\/support\/custom-css\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">custom CSS<\/span><\/a> and changesets are not use directly during content publishing. So, we will talk about the other five:<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<strong>1. Posts<\/strong><br \/>\nPost is a word of confusion in WordPress. Let me make this confusion clear. Post is a Post type. And also, the post is referred to as the blog post which is a part of the \u201cPost\u201d post type. Posts are contents that are accompanied by tags and categories in order to be displayed on several archives.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Pages<\/strong><br \/>\nPages are the other Custom Post Types that are statically designed to store and provide information about certain categories or kind of stuff.<\/p>\n<p>The homepage itself is a good example that contains all the information about the organization.<\/p>\n<p>About Us and Contact Us page are other examples. Pages are only accessible via the navigation menu or certain metalinks. They can\u2019t have tags and aren\u2019t considered to be shown on achieve page.<\/p>\n<p>Again, pages are a confusing thing when you see achieve pages and category pages. To be called pages, it should be created solely. Achieve pages are something that WordPress creates for you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Attachments<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2018Attachments\u2019 is another Custom Post type that has its own properties. It is uploaded in the WordPress database, not in the form of a media file but data related to it will be stored rather. The data can be its unique ID, metadata, alt, description, and more.<br \/>\nImages, videos, and PDFs, all come under the category of Attachment. These are accessible to edit from the admin dashboard and will be available for edits in the future.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Revisions<\/strong><br \/>\nWhenever you edit a post and save it multiple times, a revision of the post is created. Whenever you will resave the post, the revision count will increase. There is a notification to display that in the content editing screen telling the number of revisions your post is having.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to access the earlier version of the post &amp; revert to it, you can click on the revision box that will take you to the revision page. Revisions are created very much frequently even if you make a word edit. So, it is advisable to finalize your content in one go.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Navigation Menus<\/strong><br \/>\nThe contained navigation menus are also custom post types. They are stored as separate stuff in the WordPress database. WordPress identifies a navigation menu item with the help of its metadata. On-page editing of menu items is not possible, rather you will have to edit it from the customizer.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Custom Post Types&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]We talked about ready-to-use post types in WordPress. But not limited to that, you can have your own custom post type designed.<\/p>\n<p>Your WordPress Custom Post Types might sound like a movie review when you are actually creating a movie review website. Fields may vary according to the model of your post.<\/p>\n<p>You can take WooCommerce shop elements as an example that adds product custom post type. WPForms and MemberPress are also some nice demonstrations of custom post types.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Best Custom Post Types plugins in WordPress&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cozmoslabs.com%2Fwck-custom-fields-custom-post-types-plugin%2F|||&#8221;][vc_column_text]Manually creating a custom post type is not rather handy and requires you to learn and code the function.php file which is not a charm for new WordPress users. Relying on the Plugins only is what left. So, let\u2019s have a look at some nice custom post types plugins.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;1.

WCK &#8211; Custom Post Types and Custom Fields Creator&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|text_align:left&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;10039&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]The interface is what makes this plugin an awesome choice.

However, it is recommended for beginners only. Why Beginners? We will come to that shortly.<\/p>\n<p>Since it\u2019s a plugin, obviously, you need to install it from the WordPress plugins. Having it installed and activated; you will come across CPT UI in the dashboard menu.<\/p>\n<p>Focus on the CPT UI tab and click on Add New to create a custom post type.<\/p>\n<p>A slug will be required to make WordPress queries. The same will be displayed in the URL so it can\u2019t contain any special character.<\/p>\n<p>In the Plural Label and Singular Label, you will need to provide the respective form of names for your custom post type.<\/p>\n<p>Beneath it, there will be a link saying \u201cPopulate additional labels based on chosen labels\u201d. Clicking it will fill the additional fields according to the name and slug chose. Those automatic filled up additional label stuff are editable.<\/p>\n<p>In the next step, the post type settings will appear, this menu will help your post type with attributes. Every attribute has a nice description that is enough to tell what it does.<\/p>\n<p>Next, there will be an option for supports for the custom post type you created. Checking them means you are applying that property to your post type. Things like title, featured image, revisions, comments etc.<\/p>\n<p>The process will end by clicking the Add Post Type button and a WordPress custom post type will be successfully created.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Custom post types are a kind of models or container for storing everything on your website.
