Upload the wordpress-creation-kit folder to the '/wp-content/plugins/' directory 1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress 1. Then navigate to WCK => Custom Fields Creator tab and start creating your custom fields, or navigate to WCK => Post Type Creator tab and start creating your custom post types or navigate to WCK => Taxonomy Creator tab and start creating your taxonomies. == Frequently Asked Questions == = How do I display my custom fields in the front end? = Let's consider we have a meta box with the following arguments: - Meta name: books - Post Type: post And we also have two fields defined: - A text custom field with the Field Title: Book name - And another text custom field with the Field Title: Author name You will notice that slugs will automatically be created for the two text fields. For 'Book name' the slug will be 'book-name' and for 'Author name' the slug will be 'author-name' Let's see what the code for displaying the meta box values in single.php of your theme would be: `ID, 'books', true ); foreach( $books as $book){ echo $book['book-name'] . '
'; echo $book['author-name'] . '
'; }?>` So as you can see the Meta Name 'books' is used as the $key parameter of the function get_post_meta() and the slugs of the text fields are used as keys for the resulting array. Basically CFC stores the entries as custom fields in a multidimensional array. In our case the array would be: ` "The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy", "author-name" => "Douglas Adams" ), array( "book-name" => "Ender's Game", "author-name" => "Orson Scott Card" ) );?>` This is true even for single entries. = How to query by post type in the front-end? = You can create new queries to display posts from a specific post type. This is done via the 'post_type' parameter to a WP_Query. Example: ` 'product', 'posts_per_page' => 10 ); $loop = new WP_Query( $args ); while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); the_title(); echo '
'; the_content(); echo '
'; endwhile;?>` This simply loops through the latest 10 product posts and displays the title and content of them. = How do I list the taxonomies in the front-end? = If you want to have a custom list in your theme, then you can pass the taxonomy name into the the_terms() function in the Loop, like so: `ID, 'people', 'People: ', ', ', ' ' ); ?>` That displays the list of People attached to each post. = How do I query by taxonomy in the front-end? = Creating a taxonomy generally automatically creates a special query variable using WP_Query class, which we can use to retrieve posts based on. For example, to pull a list of posts that have 'Bob' as a 'person' taxomony in them, we will use: ` 'bob' ) ); ?>` ==Screenshots== 1. Creating custom post types and taxonomies 2.
