Post Type Enhancements Module Documentation

For more details check out the full Neve documentation and Neve PRO documentation.

📝Note: This component is part of just Neve PRO.

Neve PRO offers the same advanced options for CPTs ( Custom Post Types ) as for normal posts.

📝 Note: Please note there is a list of custom post types defined by third-party plugins with which this module is not compatible, you can check it on this page.

1. Create a CPT using the Custom Post Type UI plugin.

2. When creating the CPT, make sure to mark Custom Fields as supported. Setting Has Archive to True is optional; it is only needed if you want archive-specific layout options for that post type.

3. After that, when creating a CPT, you will have access to dedicated options, similar to the ones provided for posts.

4. Also, similar options are available in Appearance > Customize > Global.

If you don't want to use the Custom Post Types UI plugin, but a custom function, you can use the following snippet instead:

/*
* Creating a function to create our CPT
*/
  
function custom_post_type() {
  
// Set UI labels for Custom Post Type
    $labels = array(
        'name'                => _x( 'Movies', 'Post Type General Name', 'twentytwentyone' ),
        'singular_name'       => _x( 'Movie', 'Post Type Singular Name', 'twentytwentyone' ),
        'menu_name'           => __( 'Movies', 'twentytwentyone' ),
        'parent_item_colon'   => __( 'Parent Movie', 'twentytwentyone' ),
        'all_items'           => __( 'All Movies', 'twentytwentyone' ),
        'view_item'           => __( 'View Movie', 'twentytwentyone' ),
        'add_new_item'        => __( 'Add New Movie', 'twentytwentyone' ),
        'add_new'             => __( 'Add New', 'twentytwentyone' ),
        'edit_item'           => __( 'Edit Movie', 'twentytwentyone' ),
        'update_item'         => __( 'Update Movie', 'twentytwentyone' ),
        'search_items'        => __( 'Search Movie', 'twentytwentyone' ),
        'not_found'           => __( 'Not Found', 'twentytwentyone' ),
        'not_found_in_trash'  => __( 'Not found in Trash', 'twentytwentyone' ),
    );
      
// Set other options for Custom Post Type
      
    $args = array(
        'label'               => __( 'movies', 'twentytwentyone' ),
        'description'         => __( 'Movie news and reviews', 'twentytwentyone' ),
        'labels'              => $labels,
        // Features this CPT supports in Post Editor
        'supports'            => array( 'title', 'editor', 'excerpt', 'author', 'thumbnail', 'comments', 'revisions', 'custom-fields', ),
        // You can associate this CPT with a taxonomy or custom taxonomy. 
        'taxonomies'          => array( 'genres' ),
        /* A hierarchical CPT is like Pages and can have
        * Parent and child items. A non-hierarchical CPT
        * is like Posts.
        */
        'hierarchical'        => false,
        'public'              => true,
        'show_ui'             => true,

    register_post_type( 'movies', $args );
  
}
  
/* Hook into the 'init' action so that the function
* Containing our post type registration is not 
* unnecessarily executed. 
*/
  
add_action( 'init', 'custom_post_type', 0 );
