Post types

This documentation for the Custom post types plugin for WordPress allows you to customize all features.

To get professional support you need to make a donation to get the PRO version of the plugin.

You can add as many post types as you like, as for the native WordPress public post types (posts and pages), if they are registered as public they will be present in the administrative menus and will be reachable from the frontend (single post type page).

4. The item relating to the post type created “Products” will be added to the main menu;
5. Create and publish a “Product” as a blog post;

        'id' => 'products',
        'singular' => 'Product',
        'plural' => 'Products',
