Add a New Post Type Feature

WordPress gives you the ability to add post type features to existing (registered) post types. You can add any of the built-in features as well as create your own. Why? Why would you want to do this? Maybe your project needs to add one of the features to an existing post type that is either in WordPress Core or some other plugin such as WooCommerce, Ninja Forms, bbPress, BuddyPress, or others. Or maybe you want to add a new one, such as the Genesis framework does.

In this episode, you’ll add new features to post and page. And then you’ll look at how Genesis adds new features. You’ll use these WordPress constructs:

• add_post_type_support()
• post_type_supports()
