WordPress Developers Sydney: Why Should You Use Custom Post Types in WordPress

 WordPress started as a blogging website that developed into a website platform. And since it's originally for posting content, it's no wonder how effective and reliable it is but many still struggles with the simplicity of their "Post Types". Don't worry, though, you can always try using "Custom Post Types". It can be difficult at first but hiring WordPress Developers Sydney can make this all a breeze.



The Role of Custom Post Types

When building websites, it's common that you feel constrained by the limitations of WPs default "Post Types". For those who are using it for the first time, Post Types both means “Posts” and “Pages”. However, if you have a certain post that doesn't actually fall on either posts or pages, then customising it is the best answer.

Another thing, if your "new post" or content is something that can't fit well into your default pages of categories, then it's likely best to creating a new content type of retaining order and easy navigation of your website.

Lastly, if you are always going to create and use "Post Category different that the template file provided, then to avoid any confusion and keep singularity, you need to create a different content type for that.  And if you’ve been forced to “hack” your permalink structure to be sensitive to the category of a post to give your posts in that special category a sane URL, it’s again probably a case where you should use a Custom Post Type.



How to get Custom Post Type?

Now that you actually know what you need, you should get the basics of categorising your content. In some cases, this can be quite confusing and we won't dwell on in too long and create a separate post for it. But to keep it short, a lot of coding and scripts involved and if you have little to no skills with it, it's best to let WordPress Developers Sydneyhandle customising your post type. If you need one done today, you can send a message and quotation to the developers to guide you on your posts.
