In WordPress, a Custom Post Type is a variation on the standard WordPress Post.
Description
A Custom Post Type has its own name, which appears in the WordPress Dashboard menu, and its own set of associated Posts, separate from the standard Posts.
Custom Posts are created and edited in the same manner as standard Posts.
Custom Post Types are used for a wide range of purposes. For example:
- An e-commerce system might use a Custom Post Type named "Products"
- A portfolio might use the name "Portfolio", "Works", "Painting", etc.
- A publishing house: "Publications", "Books", etc.
- A medical practice might use the name "Doctors", "Staff", etc.
