Custom Post Types in WordPress refer to a feature that allows users to define and create content types beyond the default ones, such as posts and pages. Essentially, it enables you to introduce new content structures tailored to your website’s specific needs.
For instance, if your website focuses on a portfolio, testimonials, events, or any other unique content, you can create a custom post type for each of these. This helps organize and manage content more efficiently, providing a dedicated structure for different types of information.
In this blog post, I’ll guide you through creating and managing custom post types in WordPress
