Custom Post Types

The theme registers two custom post types:

• Portfolio Item arts_portfolio_item with the /portfolio/ slug.
• Service arts_service with the /services/ slug.

The slugs are used in permalinks URLs, making them more user- and SEO-friendly. For example, https://mywebsite.com/portfolio/my-item.

Changing CPT Slugs

If you'd like to change the default slugs listed above, set up this handy free plugin Simple Post Type Permalinks which extends the default Settings -> Permalinks panel.

In this example, the new portfolio slug is /works/%postname%

Removing CPT Base

It's also possible to completely remove a slug's base in permalinks. So https://example.com/portfolio/sunrise-in-desert/ will become https://example.com/sunrise-in-desert/ in the same URL structure as the default page post type.

Use this plugin for that task Remove CPT Base.

Customizing Post Types

Custom posts are generated in PHP code in the following file of Asli Core Plugin 📄 /wp-content/plugins/<ThemeName lowercase />-core/cpt/cpt.php. These are not exposed to the ACF Pro UI in the admin panel for modification. If you'd like to customize them, please use the register_post_type_args filter in functions.php of your child theme:

Example 1. Changing Labels of Portfolio Items

<?php
// Paste the following code in functions.php of your child theme

add_filter('register_post_type_args', 'custom_change_cpt_args', 10, 2);
function custom_change_cpt_args( $args, $post_type ) {
  if ( $post_type === 'arts_portfolio_item' ) {
    $args['labels']['name']           = _x( 'Case Studies', 'Post Type General Name', 'asli' );
    $args['labels']['singular_name']  = _x( 'Case Study', 'Post Type Singular Name', 'asli' );
    $args['labels']['menu_name']      = _x( 'Case Studies', 'Admin Menu text', 'asli' );
    $args['labels']['name_admin_bar'] = _x( 'Case Study', 'Add New on Toolbar', 'asli' );
  }

  return $args;
}

Example 2. Deleting (Unregistering) Custom Post Types Created by the Theme

<?php
// Paste the following code in functions.php of your child theme

add_action( 'init', 'custom_unregister_post_type' );
function custom_unregister_post_type() {
  unregister_post_type( 'arts_portfolio_item' );
  unregister_post_type( 'arts_service' );
}
