So recently I had need to develop some WordPress Custom Post Types – something that was new to version 3.0 and not to be confused with post-formats (aside and gallery). Custom Post Types are really useful if you have a collection of data that doesn’t fit well into post, pages, attachements or revisions (the standard types) or if you are going to have so many of one format/type you’d like to organize them into one section. I’ve recently used them to produce Routes and Beaches sections on my under-developed blog and have used them here on this site for the project portfolio – I guess you could say I’m a convert! Anyway, as always not one website I looked at during the development section had all the information I wanted so I ended up scrabbling around to build the pieces up into something that worked. Annoyingly, I didn’t record those sites I used initially to help me so sorry (and huge thanks) to my ‘custom wordpress post’ forefathers who went before me. This is what I did…
