How You Can Create Custom Post Type WordPress In a Simple Way

In the process to create a custom post type WordPress, you will get more than one option to create a post.

We are mentioning here the best way.

First, you need to login into your WordPress dashboard,

then you can click on the post and then click on add new (Dashboard -> Posts -> Add New).

And if you want to create a page then click on pages and then add new.

Keep in mind that page and post both are different things in WordPress.

Posts are elements of the information listed in chronological sequence on a blog page.

They’re frequently in the form of articles and posted format on a regular basis.

While, Pages are created for stuff that is static and never changes, such as a home page or a contact page.

You can change pages every now and again, but they mostly stay the same.

So As you click on the new post you got a screen showing the title and content area automatically.

There you can write your title in the paragraph or content area, you can add it by using the (+) Plus sign on the body of the content page.

Once you click on the plush icon you get the left panel of the block option with your post-entry screen.

You only need to click the block which you need for your post body and add it to your post.

By default, you get the title and paragraph block.

When you will be familiar with these blocks you can start using them like this.

By adding multiple different blocks you can start creating a blog post where a title, written text, images, and video can be incorporated.

A WordPress text editor advanced feature is if you write your blog content in Microsoft word or google docs.

It can be directly pasted all hereby just copying and pasting options through your keyboard or mouse.

It can easily arrange your written content likewise. If some of the blocks will not be as per your requirement.

You can simply delete that or add a different block that you need at that place.

After completing your written post you can just save it as a draft or schedule your post.

If you think it’s done then you can click on the publish button it will be published.

Note: Before publishing the post. You can make your “slug” SEO-friendly or you can leave it as it is if you think it’s fine.
