WordPress is a powerful and easy-to-use content management system (CMS) out of the box. The default "Page" and "Post" content types are enough for many websites and blogs. In order to really harness the power of WordPress as a CMS, though, you'll want create custom content types with fields and taxonomies specific to your particular application.

In this course, Envato Tuts+ instructor Rachel McCollin will show you how to create custom content types in WordPress. You'll learn how custom content types work with the WordPress database, plugin and templating system.
