Simple WordPress custom post types.

Requirements

Installation

PostTypes uses PSR-4 autoloading and can be used with the Composer's autoloader. Below is a basic example of getting started, though your setup may be different depending on how you are using Composer.
1
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
2
​
3
use PostTypes\PostType;
4
​
5
$books = new PostType('book');
6
​
7
$books->register();
Copied!
See Composer's basic usage guide for details on working with Composer and autoloading.

Basic Usage

Below is a basic example of setting up a simple book post type with a genre taxonomy. For more information, check out the online documentation here.
