Custom Post Types ​

The theme registers two custom post types:

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

See Customizing Post Type URLs to learn how to change these URL structures.

Customizing Post Types ​

Custom post types are registered in PHP code by the Trigger Core Plugin and are not exposed to the ACF Pro UI for modification. To customize them, use the register_post_type_args filter in functions.php of your child theme:

Example 1. Changing Labels of Portfolio Items ​

php
<?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', 'trigger' );
    $args['labels']['singular_name']  = _x( 'Case Study', 'Post Type Singular Name', 'trigger' );
    $args['labels']['menu_name']      = _x( 'Case Studies', 'Admin Menu text', 'trigger' );
    $args['labels']['name_admin_bar'] = _x( 'Case Study', 'Add New on Toolbar', 'trigger' );
  }

  return $args;
}

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

php
<?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' );
}

Creating New Post Types ​

You can register new custom post types via the Advanced Custom Fields plugin. The UI is available in Admin Panel -> ACF -> Post Types:
