Custom Post Types with Marketer Theme
3 replies · Started by Liam on March 10, 2022
Hi,
I'm considering working with a developer to create some custom post types. Could I do this with the theme as it is? Or is it recommended to create a child theme in cases like these?
Thanks.
Hi Liam,
This would depend. Are you planning to create your own templates for the custom post types? If so, then the answer is yes.
Here is an article you may refer to with regards to this: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/setting-up-a-simple-custom-post-type/
Also see for GP Child theme reference: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/using-child-theme/
Otherwise, if you’re not planning to create custom template files for your custom post types, then, a plugin like this should suffice: https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/custom-post-type-ui/
You may also create CPTs through PHP code with code snippets: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-create-custom-post-types-in-wordpress/#:~:text=Method%201.%20Creating%20a%20Custom%20Post%20Type%20%E2%80%93%20The%20Easy%20Way
As is, using the parent theme, Element’s Display rules should still detect CPTs.
Hope this clarifies. :)
Cool, thanks Fernando ✌️
