Build the Basic FAQ Custom Post Type
Lab: Add a FAQ Feature to the Collapsible Content Plugin – Part 2
Video Runtime: 06:04
Let’s build the basic FAQ custom post type. We need to simply register the post type with WordPress. You already did this task in the Custom Post Type Basics lab. Right? Therefore, you have the basic boilerplate code that you can reuse. Let’s copy the code from this lab, which you can find in this GitHub repository. Then we’ll adjust it for our needs.
Let’s also talk about how to make this code work within the module, i.e. so that it’s reusable for the plugin that it’s embedded into it. How can we make the text domain reusable? Let’s talk about different strategies to minimize the work when you do reuse this module.
Pro Tip: When building modules, think about how to make them reusable. Minimize the rework Share on XMaster Tip: Think about the reusability when building modules
Remember, we are building a module. We want to build it for reuse. We have to think about when we embed this module into other plugins and how to quickly wire it up to the new plugin. That means we want the least amount of rework and customization as we can get.
When you build modules for reuse, it saves you a ton of time. Think #RapidDevelopment. It will reduce your costs and increase your earning potential.
When was the last time you got out of your chair and stretched? Just saying…
