+1 for premium repeater training. A deep dive on acf with SEO in mind would be awesome. Absolutely love how much value your videos provide. Many thanks.
Brilliant video man! Very thought provoking regarding the power of relationships. Really piqued my interest when you mentioned using service areas for SEO, would love to see that expanded upon in future. Amazing work dude! Thank you so much!
Now i see the benefit of your custom taxonomy. It could also be a sub-category in a "Services" category, but then it would be available to every kind of post-type. Your new taxonomy is only available to Service post-type.
If you setup a CPT and a corresponding custom taxonomy, what would you use as the "main page" for that CPT? Would you just use a standard "page"? Seems a little clunky, but I'm unsure
@@Gearyco I appreciate the reply, thank you. Quick followup: If I go the CPT archive, is there a way to A) Get the Gutenberg editor, and B) I take it you fill out the input fields with custom fields targeting the "Post type list", right? Thank you again, nobody else seems to know what to do here.
You opened up whole new world to me ! Thank you so much Kevin ! OF course, I will be on board for a premium training, especially if you combine Oxygen and Meta Box !!!
this was a great video- I just was thinking about how to best organize content so it was easily searchable and well organized- this was helpful. if we want to have a site where we as the admin have the architecture set up a specific way but then want users to be able also to make different categories of posts- and limit part of that- ie- video, photo, story, and let other users vote on those posts- do you have any suggestions? can this be done with this particular plug in or a different plug in or has to be built out? thanks!
So this is how WordPress manages its MySQL Database relationships from within WordPress Dashboard! I was wondering about this! Every day is a school day. I can't help what other ways there are to do this... sure I'll find out in time!
Been building WordPress sites for a while and never did I once think to use a plugin to automate CPT creation. My goodness bud you've saved me so much time with CPT UI!
Does anyone know a video or tutorial how to show custom information on the archive of a post type? Like in a blog post you have author, date etc. i want to have more information than that on custom post types(e.g reviews should have stars or a grade) but I have no clue how to show that information on the front end. I only know how to create custom fields on the backend and show that information on the post page. But not the archive view.
This is just great content. Keep it up 💪 As mentioned in some of the other comments, i would also like to see the power of ACF. I'm struggeling with a field to a cpt, that adds the post to a users favourites. Its that possible? Again, thanks for the videos 🙏
Man, I love your videos, thank you so much for sharing! If I want to create a document library, should I use custom post types with ACF or is there another way? Thanks!
7:50 Odd i have never heard of it. Thought it was more like 60% ACF, 30% Metabox, 10% other vendors. Do you have any experience/oppinions on ACPT? Seems like its gaining tracktion
Great information. I only have my single website, but this information is very useful and helpful. It gives me a great foundation of what can be done before I hard code and try to shoehorn stuff into static pages. Needless to say that I am not ready to dive into actually creating custom post types yet, but definitely closer than I was before watching your video. One question would be is there a downside in creating too many custom post types or relationships? Is there a negative impact to performance or database bloat? Also, can I create those relationship fields on standard pages and posts? For example have a page related to multiple posts or a post related to multiple other posts. I can definitely understand your comments in relation to trying to filter things just with standard categories and tags. Then when you do a query list, in your list filter you might have some tags or descriptions that aren’t relevant or even confusing to the end user. Thanks again for all your videos. A lot of them are way past my skill level and understanding, but so far they all seem to have at least a few nuggets that apply to my situation.
Is there something wrong with using CPTs for Products, i know people use Woo Commerce but if you don't need Add to cart functions , shouldn't the CPT be the way to go. . Think of a manufacturer of products who doesn't sell directly.
I dont remember the timestamp, but when you put the slug, i.e. repair_cat , would it not be better to write "category" instead of "cat" because of SEO? Has CPTUI also a Repeater? Im thinking about to buy ACPT , what do you think about?
The websites I’m creating are usually small sites for artists etc. They don’t even need posts, only a couple of pages and some photo galleries. That’s why I didn’t tinker much with Custom Post Types till now. Having watched this instructive tutorial I realize the immense potential and value of CPTs. A premium training for Oxygen would be great. Where do you (as an agency owner and a dog owner:)) take all the energy for creating these superb videos?
Is it possible to use that not only for a client where himself has to put all the CPT manually and upload their image, but "any" user can register on his website and put a car to the website (i.e. with additional fields like color, price etc.) and the client as website owner can control and publish it as CPT? Or is therefore a further Plugin needed? A video about this way of a website would be nice:-)
I'm curious how database queries affecting loading speed and minimum hosting requirement. Charging a client or encourage them pay good hosting not as easy as compared with flashy front end pitch
Since you asked, here are some ideas for tutorials / courses: - It is way too difficult in the current Oxygen/Wordpress framework to set up this simple flow on a site. I want to show all terms in a taxonomy with images. When you click on that taxonomy, you land on a archive page for the CPT. Then can click on each individual CPT to see the single instance. For example, on a product site baseball gear: First page would show all product types (taxonomies) such as gloves, bats, ball, etc. When you click on the glove category, you get a list of all gloves. You can then click on a single glove to see the details of it. I run into this ALL the time and have to hack it with code snippets and/or some creative templates in Oxygen. It is important that the URL stays consistent and hierarchical. - How to add images to a CPT? Do you use the "Add Media" button. Do you made a Custom Field for the images? I've done both - Relationships (you said you were covering that already) - Deep dive into permalink structure for CPT and taxonomies. If you turn off archive for the CPT can you use that slug for a page? I like my url's to make sense and it can be tricky because the CPT slug and taxonomy slug have to be unique.
Is there a way to list all the posts of a CPT dynamically in a WordPress menu, using Oxygen? So if I were using a CPT for services, I could have a top-level menu item of services, and then the menu item's children would be all the services, without needing to add them manually? I know I can do this with Ubermenu, but I don't want to add the plugin just for that one function.
I also remember myself (for many years) reading about custom post types and I just couldn't get it. I thought it was something about... posts, as in "blog posts". 😅 When I finally understood what CPT's really are and what they can do my whole WordPress development approach changed and I rediscovered WordPress and its capabilities as a true CMS. 🎉 On a final note, I believe that it would be really useful for a lot of people if you could do a video about the relationships between CPT's for the use cases you talk about in this video (services to service areas, etc.) Thank you for all the eye-opener videos Kevin. Really appreciate it.
I am building a website site for publishing highly sourced explainers (articles, videos, and dynamic infographics) that will require a ton of citations. The killer feature of this site will be a customizable reference library so people can easily cite their sources while composing content, find old sources they previously cites, and share citations amongst each other. If you think about how many data points - and how many relationships they can all have (journals, books, news articles, authors, scientific papers, etc.) then you can see how quickly this can get incredibly complicated. But I *have* to make it present as simply las possible for my users! I'm going to use custom post types and fields to build all this out on the backend and then learn how to customize frontend/backend interfaces. So thank you for helping me get started on my journey. I hope I can find more videos from you that will enhance my knowledge of this as I go.
Hey Kevin, Thx for sharing this value content. I've watched this more than 5 times... every time I need anything about CPT, I come back and check it. My Questions about (Has Archive?) - Start at 10:05: One: If this sets to false, that means I need to create a page for the archive(same slug), Right? Then edit the page with builder I do have. Two: (Bricks Builder Case) Why I don't set the archive to true from the beginning and assign template from bricks templates via the conditions? e.g. (True Archive) - Create template and assign it to CPT archive via Bricks conditions. Or e.g. (False Archive) - Create page for the archive, Edit the page via Bricks/Any Builder. What is right to do, Which is maintainable and scalable & why?
You can do it either way. I usually create a page because it’s easier to manage pages than templates. And it makes more logical sense. A /blog/ page with an articles grid is a page in my mind, not a template. Having to make certain things pages and certain things templates and remember what is what makes sites messier to manage.
love this, i already did this with testimonials, teams and option page in dashboard for telephone numbers etc. but brilliant!!! love the new ideas i get from this. wil be joining inner circle soon!
Love your content. Love your jokes. Really wish, there was a follow-up video on how to make those relationships of CPTs. Anyways, thank you so much for amazing content. I was surprised you didn't mention chumps in this video.
Thanks for this - enlightening indeed - I am a crocoblock convertee and a novice coder - you mention repeaters frequently and would this be (in Bricks)a template?
Brilliant video man! Very thought provoking regarding the power of relationships. Really piqued my interest when you mentioned using service areas for SEO, would love to see that expanded upon in future. Amazing work dude! Thank you so much!
Enjoyed the presentation, thanks. I've been struggling with how to reorganise an ancient blog site: 100s of posts, a few pages, with futile attempts to correlate the contents of lengthy passenger cruises (which involve dozens of countries, with potentially multiple posts for each country) and a couple of authors. They used a plugin implementing a Book/Volume/Chapters metaphor which was ugly. It seems like custom taxonomies related to, say, "cruises", "countries", "cities", "experiences" would do it. Any experience converting existing posts to CPTs?
Thanks a lot for this a discover CPT, it was looking very simpler thanks to you ! Impatient to learn about relation with advanced custom fields and repeater.
Heres a longshot, i just started using cpt and i want to know if i can have a cpt that collects user submitted documents and images so that when they login, they can view and download them but only see what they uploaded?
@@Gearyco like a miracle worker I was just watching this again when you comment popped up. I watched it slower and dude I think I figured out what you meant. Thank you for the video, comment and validation
This is a one of my priorities at the moment. I want to be able to use Custom Post Type to create a Course custom post. This way i can any custom field and then allow visitors to just look up a course and if they are interested they can then purchase. This is not to be a direct online course but a Webinar Session. Is this a possibility
thank u for this post type video... can i expect more deep video regarding the post type and repeater things... also please show some tips for wocommerce sites... thank u again for putting your time and effort sir....
POW!!! This episode opened all kinds of thought on how to implement CPTs. I really had not thought of all of the possibilities until watching this post. Subscribing for sure!
Got excited to see custom post type tutorial but had to drop it off completely at 8:30 when saw a plugin doing or making the custom post type. Anyways, kudos to your efforts to explain the scope of custom post types.
@@Gearyco Being a developer I am not for using commercial/non-commercial and third party plugins. Especially when plugin development has been mentioned in great detail on wordpress developers platform.My personal experience and observation over the years have arrived to the conclusion that third party plugin cause huge impact on wordpress sites/apps, which is why I usually like and suggest to develop plugins on my own. Anyways, thanks very much for responding back and have a lovely day ahead. Cheers
So I'm really struggling here... I have a Custom post type, with its taxonomy (Category). I need to create a page that shows all the categories, each category has to link to its own archive template page. How can I do that in Oxygen???
Thanks very much for this! Your statement about Products and how we should be using WooCommerce for that use case rather than custom post types was very helpful. I was literally stuck in that dilemma trying to figure out how to implement custom checkout with custom post type: "Product". But I guess the way to go would be to add custom fields to the WooCommerce Product post type that comes with the plugin if we want to customize it further. This, at least for small products that can be sold online. Additionally, the car dealership analogy made sense for custom post type: Product. Thank you sir! I really am learning a lot from you
Wow. Thank you so much. 2021 and finally we're finally getting a proper explanation that makes sense (at least to me). Keep it coming, you're helping many of us. :)
Awesome video, so much clearer now. But still, is there any purpose to use Custom Post Types, ACF for small business sites? Like 1-5 pages and if the clients don't even want to add any info on their own? Looks like a time waste to setup everything, instead of just making the site?
I don't build 1-5 page sites and don't think that 1-5 page sites really serve clients well. If it's 1-5 pages to start and then more to come later, then yes it's important to build the proper site architecture from the beginning. It's actually not much work at all and makes your life easier on the back end in many ways.
