Use this code to register a custom post type, remember you need to write it in your functions.php file and wrap it with a function. Then call it by init action hook. Example –
function custom_post(){ $labels = array( 'name' => ( 'post type plural name'), 'singular_name' => ( 'post type singular name' ), ); $args = array( 'labels' => $labels, 'public' => false, 'show_ui' => true, 'show_in_menu' => true, 'supports' => array( 'menu_order','page-attributes','title', 'editor', 'author', 'thumbnail', 'excerpt', 'comments','custom-fields' ), ); register_post_type( 'post-type', $args ); } add_action( 'init', 'custom_post' );
Then you need to display it to your template file, question how? We can display it with a query and piece of code.
global $post; $args=array( 'post_type' => 'your-post-type', 'post_status' => 'post-status', 'posts_per_page' => 3, 'orderby'=>'menu_order', 'order' => 'DESC', ); $my_posts = get_posts( $args ); foreach ( $my_posts as $post){ setup_postdata($post); the_content();// and more that you want to display }
