How Do I Add a Custom Post Type Column in WordPress?

Adding a custom post type column to WordPress is a relatively easy process. First, you’ll need to create a new file called wp-posts-types.php and add the following code to it:

add_action( ‘init’, ‘add_custom_post_type’ ); function add_custom_post_type() { register_post_type( ‘my_custom_post_type’, array( ‘label’ => __( ‘My Custom Post Type’, ‘wp-blog-header’ ), ‘public’ => true, ‘rewrite’ => array( ‘slug’ => ‘my-custom-post-type’, ‘has_archive’ => true, ‘supports’ => array( ‘title’ => true, ), ‘user_type’ => ‘post’, ‘capabilities’ => array( ‘publish’ ), ‘taxonomies’ => array( ‘my_custom_taxonomy’ ), ‘fields’ => array( ‘my_custom_field’ ), ‘menu_order’ => true, ), ), ); }

The first line of code registers the my_custom_post_type post type. This post type will have the following settings:

label – The title of the post type

public – Whether posts in this post type are publicly viewable

rewrite – The slug for the post type

has_archive – Whether posts in this post type are archived

supports – An array of post type supported capabilities

user_type – The user type that can publish posts in this post type

capabilities – An array of post type capabilities

taxonomies – An array of post type taxonomies

fields – An array of post type fields

menu_order – Whether posts in this post type are displayed in the post menu

Next, you’ll need to create a new file called wp-postmeta.php and add the following code to it:

define( ‘WP_POST_TYPE’, ‘my_custom_post_type’ );

Finally, you’ll need to add a custom post type to your WordPress site. To do this, go to your WordPress admin panel and click on Posts in the left-hand menu. Then, click on the Add New Post button and enter the following information:

Title – The title of your post

Body – The body of your post

Post Type – My Custom Post Type

Click on the Save button and you’re done! Your custom post type is now available for use in your WordPress site.
