WordPress 5 Cookbook

How it works...

The default WordPress installation uses posts and pages as built-in post types for managing content. Apart from that, there are built-in post types such as media and menu, which are used for different purposes, even though they are stored in the wp_posts database table. In application development, we need advanced features beyond normal posts or pages. So, WordPress allows us to build and manage advanced content using Custom Post Types. This is a built-in feature that allows us to register any type of post type and handle the features for advanced application requirements while providing the fundamental features of a post, such as built-in storage, customizable list, tags, categories, custom fields, and so on.
