<h4>Custom Post Types</h4>
WordPress can be more than just a blog. By default, WordPress allows you to create blog posts and pages (and links, and comments,…). But it can do more than that. With a little elbow grease, you can put in all kinds of different information. Blog post and page are two different types of posts. WordPress also allows you to create custom post types. Your site could have the post type employee, or product, or movie, or super hero.
Normally, you need to be a code monkey to pull this off. If requires quite a bit of programming. Postyper aims to remedy that. It provides you with an interface to define your own custom post types, without the computer science degree.
Once you have your custom post types defined, you’ll need to work on a way to display them. Postyper creates archives for you, and individual pages for your posts. But in order to display your custom field information, you’ll need to modify your templates. For this, you’ll probably need to get a template developer.
<h4>For Template Developers</h4>
Postyper uses WordPress’s native post meta system. So all custom information entered by editors can be retrieved using the <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_post_meta" rel="nofollow ugc">get_post_meta()</a> or <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_post_custom" rel="nofollow ugc">get_post_custom()</a> functions. You can also use the WordPress hierarchy to create templates for each post type, including single-postype.php, archive-postype.php, etc.
<h3>Future Changes</h3>
We’re excited about the potential of Postyper and will continue to develop its functionality. Future improvements include:
<ol>
<li>New field type: multi-post</li>
<li>Group fields. For instance, with type post types, actor and movie, one would want to select with actors are in the movie, and for each actor, the name of the character they played.</li>
<li>Shortcodes for displaying meta field information.</li>
<li>More field types.</li>
<li>Unicorns.</li>
</ol>

Up until recently, WordPress gave two options: You could either disable comments and trackbacks by default for all pages and posts, or you could have them active by default. In WordPress version 4.3, this finally changed so comments are always disabled on new pages.
While the new change makes it easier for many of the sites, it make it harder for people who need to get the reverse and enable comments on all pages, or if they need to change the default for a custom post type. This plugin allows you to choose whether comments are enabled or disabled by default on all new posts, pages and custom post types, while still giving the ability to individually enable comments on posts or pages.
Also, this plugin provides a way to quickly disable all comments or pingbacks for a specific custom post type. It directly interacts with your database to modify the status, so it is highly recommended that you backup your database first. There shouldn’t be any issues using this feature, but it’s always good to play it safe.
