Now i’m going to be sharing how to implement custom post type in WordPress using your thesis theme. Though I was kind of hesitant to use custom post type since currently i’m doing fine with the default post type in WordPress and I get to organize my post using categories.<\/p>\n

And to be honest I still don’t know when to use custom post type, so if you have some advice leave a comment below.<\/p>\n

Let’s get down to business, first of all i’m not the original author of this tutorial just like everyone else I try researching and found two awesome tutorials and I have tested already so i’m sharing what works for me.<\/p>\n

First is using a plugin called Custom Post Type UI
\n<\/iframe><\/p>\nAnd the second option one is from ThomasGriffinMedia.com<\/p>\nAdd this in your custom_functions.php<\/p>\n<pre>\/\/ Custom Post Type\r\nfunction create_folio(){\r\n$folio_args = array(\r\n'label' => __('Folio'),\r\n'singular_label' => __('Folio'),\r\n'public' => true,\r\n'show_ui' => true,\r\n'capability_type' => 'post',\r\n'hierarchical' => false,\r\n'taxonomies' => array('post_tag','category'),\r\n'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'folio','with_front' => false ),\r\n'supports' => array('title','editor','thumbnail','custom-fields','comments','trackbacks','author')\r\n);\r\nregister_post_type('folio',$folio_args);\r\n}\r\nadd_action('init','create_folio');<\/pre>\nAlso add this in the custom_functions.php this piece of code will add thesis SEO boxes<\/p>\n<pre>\/* BEGIN Adding Thesis Meta Boxes to \u2018Folio\u2019 *\/\r\n add_action('admin_menu','my_admin_menu');\r\n function my_admin_menu() {\r\n $post_options = new thesis_post_options;\r\n $post_options->meta_boxes();\r\n foreach ($post_options->meta_boxes as $meta_name => $meta_box)\r\n {\r\n add_meta_box($meta_box['id'], $meta_box['title'], array('thesis_post_options', 'output_' . $meta_name . '_box'),'folio','normal','high'); #wp\r\n }\r\n add_action('save_post', array('thesis_post_options','save_meta')); #wp\r\n }<\/pre>\nIn displaying or querying the post in your custom post type I use this, though you can implement what ever kind of query using WordPress codex for me the first line is what I need<\/p>\n<pre><?php query_posts( array ( 'post_type'=> 'folio', 'post_per_page' => 3 ) );?>\r\n<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>\r\n<a href=\"<?php the_permalink(); ?>\"><?php the_title(); ?><\/a><\/p>\r\n<?php endwhile;?><\/pre>\nI think that is what you need. Now if you want to create another custom post type just changed all the folio<\/strong> text and replace it with the name of your custom post type that you want.<\/p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/thomasgriffinmedia.com\/blog\/2010\/09\/how-to-use-wordpress-3-0-custom-post-types-in-thesis\/\">Detailed\u00a0explanation\u00a0on the second option<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Now i’m going to be sharing how to implement custom post type in WordPress using your thesis theme.
