In this video I show you how to easily integrate Custom Post Types and Custom Fields into your WordPress Theme.

I use the Custom Post Type to create Portfolio Items and use Custom Fields to create an extra title area and add images to a JQuery slider.

  1. Thanks for this suggestion. I have another training coming soon and I take
    all suggestions into consideration.

  2. You make it seem so easy!! I have spent almost all day watching your wp
    videos.. Can’t wait for wp-ask-me to come back up!!

  5. Excellent turorial!, just 2 questions. Are the custom fields supported for
    sharing on Facebook with the open graph? that’s cause when i share posts
    with just custom fields like text or images, (no using of wysiwyg edit
    area, no title, no featured image etc) nothing but the post url is
    displayed on facebook) and second one Whats the difference between using
    and creating the custom field areas like you in the video and creating and
    using custom fields creation feature that the Types plugin has?

  6. Hello there, nice tut. Are these snippets created by you, or is there
    somewhere i could download them form?

  7. Thanks for the compliment – to answer your questions: #1) Unfortunatly I
    don’t have much experience with custom FaceBook integrations – I have
    always used plugins for any syndication to social networks. #2) I
    personally don’t use the Types plugin, I normally simply code custom post
    type and custom field support directly into the theme, but on this A B C
    training ( meant for newbies ) I wanted to introduce them – but in an easy
    way. I don’t think there are any limitations using the Types fields

  8. great tutorial!!! how to display custom post on home page with only
    featured image. now you are showing detail page (single.php) but i want to
    display a post only without detail by this plugin on home page. can you
