By using Custom Post Types, you can build all kinds of complex websites, turning WordPress into a full content management system.
The ability to create your own Custom Post Type enables you to use WordPress as a framework for building a website that fits your exact needs, opening up limitless possibilities for managing and displaying content.
By utilizing Elementor, you can manage custom post types and build content that is custom fit to your needs.
Most users are familiar with the two most common post types: Posts and Pages.
Posts are time-based listings while Pages are hierarchical in structure, with Parent > Child relationships.
Posts make use of taxonomies such as Categories and Tags, while Pages do not, and Pages use Page Templates for display, while Posts do not.
Because CPTs are separate from Posts and Pages, they can be displayed separately, organized by their own taxonomy categorizations, and filtered based on their custom fields.
Custom Taxonomies
Just as the Post Type uses Categories and Tags taxonomies to help organize posts, a Custom Post Type can use its own custom taxonomies.
In WordPress, taxonomies are used to group types of content together. “Category” is a classic example of a taxonomy that helps place posts into similar groups.
An eCommerce Site might use Department as a custom taxonomy.
Custom Fields
Custom fields store extra information about the content. Just as a blog post has an Author field, and an Excerpt field, a Custom Post Type might have several custom fields assigned to it as well.
Embed the CPT content in your single and archive templates.
Adding the dynamic content is done using Elementor’s Theme Builder templates.
