In my early days of building with WordPress, I stayed away from creating custom post types. It seemed like a mysterious process. However, after taking time to learn a bit about how the database handles things and having a project that needed 4 custom post types to keep a multi-city, multi-year conference organized and archived --- I got more comfortable. This plugintut explanation would have been helpful in the early part of my journey.
Thank you for this great explanation! This is by far the BEST most human way in explaining this concept I've come across so far! I just couldn't get my head around CPT (as well as fields!) but your visual diagrams gave me the light bulb moment!
Thanks for explaining this! I have seen CPTs mentioned everywhere, but it was hard to wrap my mind around what use cases CPTs are suitable for, compared to a typical post, or a template created with Advanced Custom Fields. This really helped!
absolutely hit on... best way to teach the things is with examples and thats what you have done.... great content... will never forget custom post types coz of this...
Nice video, this definitely explains things clearly. However, you can add a ACF to posts as well not just a custom post type. But custom post types are a great organization tool and when linked with ACF front end form and elementor pro templates the work flow is super simplistic for non techies
I am using CPT in order to segment and keep my dashboard organized mostly between Landing Pages and more recently keeping sections from BB in that I use to tunnel towards other parts of the website. One thing that you could go over is Custom Fields... i have a hard time wrapping my head over them still...
Matt, I'm new to the world of wp and I'm trying to learn as much as possible. your videos have helped me understand thing more clearly. I have a question, is there a plugin or a part of the custom post type feature that allows for a drop-down style menu that help narrow your information database down to a few products? thank you
CPT´s are great, Things get tough when you have a big list of post to publish like real estate listings or products listings, import / Export CSV plugins are costly,
this answers so many questions and stays on topic. your sir are awesome thank you! What's the easiest way to customize product pages OR can i add woocommerce to custom post types
Customizing WooCommerce pages gets a little more technical, depends on what you're looking to do. The folks at Beaver Builder have a new product coming out, Beaver Themer. I did a video on that customizing WooCommerce pages. If you're looking to just *place* WooCommerce products on a CPT, checkout my product conductorplugin.com
Hey, Matt! Are you using Rode Podcaster(if my recollection of lost isn't misleading me then, you use that mic for podcasting) for this, or is it a Shotgun version? I was thinking of doing videos this way but not sure of Rode Podcaster would help me do that (since I have ordered one)
The audio is terrible here, mainly because I'm in a big room with 15 foot ceilings -- load of echo. This is using a cheapo lav mic I bought on Amazon connected to my camera. I use a Heil PR40 for podcasting.
ThemeIsle apparently retired this plugin. I guess it made Wordpress too flexible. Maybe Drupal paid them to can it since it brought to Wordpress what they do best :p

Thank you so much for the explanation, it is really help me to really understand what the hell happened hahaha!
Where do you create a custom post type? Is there an option to make one in WordPress?
Im looking for ways to code a page template to list custom post type categories... any tips?
what about custom relationships between custom post types? what plugins? pods?
so every post type creates a new pages in the backend?
Now only EnotGlobal is left of the PF twists, the rest is lost ..
Awesome
