How to create custom post in wordpress

Custom post types can easily be added to any theme by updating our functions.php file. If you haven’t played around with CPTs yet, I would encourage you to read  To create our CPT, let’s update our functions.php with the following:
// Custom Post types for Feature project on home page
add_action(‘init’, ‘create_feature’);
function create_feature() {
$feature_args = array(
‘labels’ => array(
‘name’ => __( ‘Feature Project’ ),
‘singular_name’ => __( ‘Feature Project’ ),
‘add_new’ => __( ‘Add New Feature Project’ ),
‘add_new_item’ => __( ‘Add New Feature Project’ ),
‘edit_item’ => __( ‘Edit Feature Project’ ),
‘new_item’ => __( ‘Add New Feature Project’ ),
‘view_item’ => __( ‘View Feature Project’ ),
‘search_items’ => __( ‘Search Feature Project’ ),
‘not_found’ => __( ‘No feature project found’ ),
‘not_found_in_trash’ => __( ‘No feature project found in trash’ )
),
‘public’ => true,
‘show_ui’ => true,
‘capability_type’ => ‘post’,
‘hierarchical’ => false,
‘rewrite’ => true,
‘menu_position’ => 20,
‘supports’ => array(‘title’, ‘editor’, ‘thumbnail’)
);
register_post_type(‘feature’,$feature_args);
}
add_filter(“manage_feature_edit_columns”, “feature_edit_columns”);

function feature_edit_columns($feature_columns){
$feature_columns = array(
“cb” => “<input type=\”checkbox\” />”,
“title” => “Title”,
);
return $feature_columns;
}

//Add Meta Boxes

add_action( ‘add_meta_boxes’, ‘cd_meta_box_add’ );
function cd_meta_box_add()
{
add_meta_box( ‘my-meta-box-id’, ‘Link to Project’, ‘cd_meta_box_cb’, ‘feature’, ‘normal’, ‘high’ );
}

function cd_meta_box_cb( $post )
{
$url = get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘url’, true);
wp_nonce_field( ‘my_meta_box_nonce’, ‘meta_box_nonce’ ); ?>

<p>
<label for=”url”>Project url</label>
<input type=”text” name=”url” id=”url” value=”<?php echo $url; ?>” style=”width:350px” />
</p>

<?php
}

add_action( ‘save_post’, ‘cd_meta_box_save’ );
function cd_meta_box_save( $post_id )
{
// Bail if we’re doing an auto save
if( defined( ‘DOING_AUTOSAVE’ ) && DOING_AUTOSAVE ) return;

// if our nonce isn’t there, or we can’t verify it, bail
if( !isset( $_POST[‘meta_box_nonce’] ) || !wp_verify_nonce( $_POST[‘meta_box_nonce’], ‘my_meta_box_nonce’ ) ) return;

// if our current user can’t edit this post, bail
if( !current_user_can( ‘edit_post’ ) ) return;

// now we can actually save the data
$allowed = array(
‘a’ => array( // on allow a tags
‘href’ => array() // and those anchors can only have href attribute
)
);

// Probably a good idea to make sure your data is set
if( isset( $_POST[‘url’] ) )
update_post_meta( $post_id, ‘url’, wp_kses( $_POST[‘url’], $allowed ) );
}

 

2 Next, we need to pull the content out and display it. For the purpose of this demo, I’ve created a front-page.php which as the title says, I’m using on my home page.

In order to display the content, I’ll use the WP_query function inside like so:

<section id=”featured-slider”>
<div id=”slides”>
<div class=”slides_container”>

<?php
$loop = new WP_Query(array(‘post_type’ => ‘feature’, ‘posts_per_page’ => -1, ‘orderby’=> ‘ASC’));
?>
<?php while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>

<div class=”slide”>
<?php $url = get_post_meta($post->ID, “url”, true);
if($url!=”) {
echo ‘<a href=”‘.$url.'”>’;
echo the_post_thumbnail(‘full’);
echo ‘</a>’;
} else {
echo the_post_thumbnail(‘full’);
} ?>
<div class=”caption”>
<h5><?php the_title(); ?></h5>
<?php the_content();?>
</div>
</div>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
