<p>If you need to implement a custom post type for human beings, where in lieu of a title you need a <em>name</em>, this plugin will add the proper UI. See screenshots for an example.</p>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<p>When creating your custom post type, just make sure you specify <code>name</code> as one of the post type’s features. (As of version 0.1, the <code>title</code> feature, quite counterintuitively, is also required as in the example below.)</p>
<pre><code>register_post_type( 'people', array(     'label' => 'People',     'supports' => array( 'title', 'name', ... )     ... ) ); </code></pre>
<p>Name Support also gives you the template tags <code>the_name()</code> and <code>get_the_name()</code> which prints or returns the name in “[First Name] [Last Name]” format.</p>

Name Support

Infrastructure plugin which adds UI support for custom post types with names instead of titles, e.g. "person" custom post types.

<p>This infrastructure plugin adds basic UI for single-valued taxonomies, i.e. a taxonomy with presents a <code>select</code> widget.</p>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<p>When registering your custom taxonomy, add the argument <code>single_value</code> set to <code>true</code> to get the single value UI. If a selection of this term is required, also add <code>required</code> set to <code>true</code>.</p>
<pre><code>register_taxonomy(
    'astrological_sign',
    array( 'person' ),
    array(
        'hierarchical' => false,
        'show_ui' => true,
        'required' => true,
        'single_value' => true
    )
);
</code></pre>
