💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Passing a string instead of an array as the second argument.

Forgetting to set the 'public' key to true.

The register_post_type function requires an array of arguments as the second parameter to define the post type's behavior. Using array('public' => true) makes the post type publicly accessible.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using singular form 'Book' instead of plural.

Using lowercase or all uppercase which is less readable.

The 'name' label should be the plural form of the post type, so 'Books' is correct.

function create_book_post_type() {
    register_post_type('book', array(
        'public' => true,
        'supports' => [1]

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Passing a string instead of an array to 'supports'.

Using incorrect feature names like 'edit'.

The 'supports' argument expects an array of features. To enable the editor, use array('editor').

<?php
function create_movie_post_type() {
    register_post_type('movie', array(
        'public' => [1],
        'has_archive' => [2]

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

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

Setting 'has_archive' to false when archive is needed.

Both 'public' and 'has_archive' should be set to the boolean true (without quotes) to enable public visibility and archive pages.

Wordpress

<?php

        'labels' => array('name' => [1]),
        'public' => [2],
        'supports' => [3]
    ));

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

Btrue

Carray('title', 'thumbnail')

D'Album'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using singular label instead of plural.

Passing 'supports' as a string instead of an array.

Using string 'true' instead of boolean true.

Use 'Albums' as the plural label, set 'public' to boolean true, and 'supports' to an array with 'title' and 'thumbnail' to enable those features.
