A plug-in for WordPress custom post types
We’re all aware of WordPress 3.0 and it’s new features including my favourite; Custom post types. This for anyone who doesn’t know is the ability to post different types of content rather than strictly posts and pages. Prior to custom post types I had to rely on using categories to separate content and it was less than ideal.
Anyway, this post isn’t about custom post types themselves. If you want to know more about them then google them, there’s plenty there. I will write more about them when I finally get around to implementing them here.
This post is actually intended to call attention to a plug-in I have discovered called Custom Post Type UI. This plug-in allows you to implement custom post types and taxonomies without writing large amounts of complicated PHP in your functions.php file.
I haven’t tried to do anything particularly tricky with this plug-in or even these features as yet but I am re-working the WordPress side of my site to be smarter and these features will definitely find there way into the final result.
