When a Post is Not a Post

When Post Types were introduced in WordPress, it changed the way we segment content. WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads, The Events Calendar and more, all use WordPress Post Types to manage your data. However, they are not posts. They don’t look like posts or act like posts. Entering data when creating a product or an event is different than the default “add new post” page.

In this session, we’ll show you how to create advanced user interfaces like those you find in some of the most popular plugins available

  • Modify post statuses to better fit your post type.
  • Hide default WordPress features when they don’t make sense.
  • Create advanced fields with validation and sanitization.
  • Break up your fields into tabbed sections for a better user experience.
  • Include inline help so your users have answers when then need them.
