💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using the post type slug instead of a label.

Not using quotes around the label.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using strings 'true' or 'false' instead of booleans.

Setting 'public' to false which hides the post type.

The 'public' argument should be set to the boolean true (without quotes) to make the post type publicly queryable.

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Passing a single string instead of an array.

Missing 'thumbnail' if you want featured images.

The 'supports' argument must be an array of strings. Here, it should include 'editor' and 'thumbnail' to enable those features.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to register a custom post type that is hierarchical and has a custom menu icon.

Wordpress

register_post_type('product', array('hierarchical' => [1], 'menu_icon' => [2]));

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Atrue

Bfalse

C'dashicons-cart'

D'dashicons-admin-post'

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using false for 'hierarchical' when parent-child is needed.

Not using quotes around the dashicon string.

Setting 'hierarchical' to true allows parent-child relationships. The 'menu_icon' uses a dashicon string like 'dashicons-cart'.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to register a custom post type with a custom rewrite slug, showing it in REST API, and enabling archive pages.

Wordpress

register_post_type('event', array('rewrite' => array('slug' => [1]), 'show_in_rest' => [2], 'has_archive' => [3]));

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A'events'

Btrue

Cfalse

D'event'

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using false for 'show_in_rest' which disables REST API support.

Not using quotes around the slug string.

Setting 'has_archive' to false when archive pages are needed.

The 'rewrite' slug should be a string like 'events'. 'show_in_rest' and 'has_archive' are booleans set to true to enable REST API and archive pages.
