Custom Post Types

Are you looking for a way to enable custom post types? While there’s probably a plugin for this, we have created a quick code snippet that you can use to enable custom post types in WordPress.

Instructions:

All you have to do is add this code to your theme’s functions.php file or in a site-specific plugin:

$args = array(
        'label' => __('Products'),
        'singular_label' => __('Product'),
        'public' => true,
        'show_ui' => true,
        'capability_type' => 'page',
        'hierarchical' => false,
        'rewrite' => true,
        'query_var' => 'products',
        'supports' => array('title', 'thumbnail')
);
register_post_type( 'product' , $args );
