What is Custom Post Type in WordPress?
Custom post types are content types like posts and pages. Since WordPress evolved from a simple blogging platform into a robust CMS, the term post stuck to it. However, a post type can be any kind of content. By default, WordPress comes with these post types:
- Post
- Page
- Attachment
- Revision
- Nav Menu
