# Custom Post Types

The theme registers three custom post types:

  • Portfolio Item arts_portfolio_item with the /portfolio/ slug.
  • Service arts_service with the /services/ slug.
  • Album arts_album with the /albums/ 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 (opens new window), 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 (opens new window).
