One of the things that I value the most about WordPress as CMS (or content manager) is its scalability, that is, its ability to adapt to the growth of our website without having to change to other more specific managers. One of the options that allow us to extend the base functionalities of the Core and adapt WordPress to our project is without a doubt the Custom Post Types (CPT.) A Custom Post Type is a new type of input that we add to our WordPress with the aim of managing its contents independently of the pages and the normal posts of the blog. In this way we can have different sections on our website with contents that are updated independently.
What is a Custom Post Type in WordPress?
Imagine a website about book reviews as an example to better understand the use of Custom Post Type:
We would have a section devoted to the blog, where we would write about news, new releases of books, presentations, interviews with the authors … all this would go in the entries section.
There would be a series of static pages with information about the site, a contact page, privacy policy, services, advertising … in short, content that will not change and that we will place in the navigation
