Learn how to create a custom post type with a custom taxonomy in WordPress. This step-by-step guide covers registering both using code, organizing your content efficiently, and following WordPress best practices.
/* Start projects post type*/
function qrs_projects_posttype() {
$labels = array(
'name' => _x( 'Projects', 'qrs' ),
'singular_name' => _x( 'Projects', 'qrs' ),
'add_new' => _x( 'Add New', 'qrs' ),
'add_new_item' => __( 'Add New Project' ),

'not_found' => __( 'No Projects found' ),
'not_found_in_trash' => __( 'No Projects found in the Trash' ),
'menu_name' => 'Projects'
);
register_post_type( 'Projects',
array(
'labels' => $labels,
'public' => true,
'has_archive' => false,
'supports' => array( 'title','editor','thumbnail'),
'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'Projects'),
'show_in_rest' => true,
)
);
}
add_action( 'init', 'qrs_projects_posttype' );
/* start register taxonomy for type*/
function qrs_type_taxonomies() {
register_taxonomy('type', 'projects', array(
'hierarchical' => true,
'labels' => array(
'name' => _x( 'Type', 'qrs' ),
'singular_name' => _x( 'Type', 'qrs' ),
'search_items' => __( 'Search Type' ),

// Control the slugs used for this taxonomy
'rewrite' => array(

}
add_action( 'init', 'qrs_type_taxonomies', 0 );
