Here we learn about how to create custom multiple post types in WordPress.
Custom code copied and paste into your child theme’s functions.php file.
Here I have created ‘Story’ and ‘Chapters’ two different post types.
<?php
add_action( 'init', 'myblog_custom_post_types' );
function myblog_custom_post_types() {
$cps = array();
$cps['story'] = 'Story'; // add your custom post type here slug as key and name as value.
$cps['chapter'] = 'Chapter';
$icons = array('dashicons-media-interactive','dashicons-book'); // if you want to add icons then place icon slug here
if( !empty( $cps ) && count( $cps ) > 0 )
{
$i = 0;
foreach( $cps as $key => $value )
{
$labels = array();
$args = array();
$labels = array(
'name' => _x( $value, 'post type general name', 'qode' ),
'singular_name' => _x( $value, 'post type singular name', 'qode' ),
'menu_name' => _x( str_replace('s','',(substr($value,'-1')=='y' ? rtrim($value, "y").'ie' : $value )).'s', 'admin menu', 'qode' ),
'name_admin_bar' => _x( $value, 'add new on admin bar', 'qode' ),
'add_new' => _x( 'Add New', $key, 'qode' ),
'add_new_item' => __( 'Add New '.$value, 'qode' ),
'new_item' => __( 'New '.$value, 'qode' ),
'edit_item' => __( 'Edit '.$value, 'qode' ),
'view_item' => __( 'View '.$value, 'qode' ),
'all_items' => __( 'All '.$value, 'qode' ),
'search_items' => __( 'Search '.$value.'s', 'qode' ),
'parent_item_colon' => __( 'Parent '.$value.':', 'qode' ),
'not_found' => __( 'No '.$value.'s found.', 'qode' ),
'not_found_in_trash' => __( 'No '.$value.'s found in Trash.', 'qode' )
);
$args = array(
'labels' => $labels,
'public' => true,
'publicly_queryable' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'show_in_menu' => true,
'query_var' => true,
'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => $key ),
'capability_type' => 'post',
'has_archive' => true,
'hierarchical' => true,
'menu_position' => null,
'menu_icon' => (isset($icons[$i]) ? $icons[$i] : ''),
'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'author', 'thumbnail', 'excerpt', 'comments','page-attributes' )
);
register_post_type( $key, $args );
$i++;
}
}
}
?>
OUTPUT:
