We\u2019ll use Types and View Lite plugins, which are available from your WPML account.<\/p>\n<h2>Custom Types and Fields Help Organize Content<\/h2>\n<p>The most important thing for your clients is being able to manage the site\u2019s content, without having to ask you for every edit.<\/p>\n<p>Custom post types and fields make this happen. They allow editing content in an intuitive and organized way.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9\"><iframe title=\"How custom types and fields make it easy to manage content\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BNu5PGG93J0?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/wpml.org\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>As you can see, this is how to structure your custom content:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use <b>custom post types<\/b> to separate content from your regular WordPress posts and pages. You might have a post type for Portfolio, Tours, Books, Ads, Products\u2026 whatever you need.<\/li>\n<li>Use <b>custom fields <\/b>to easily add information to each custom post and then display it on the front-end separately from the post&#8217;s main \u00abbody\u00bb. For example, each custom \u00abbook\u00bb post can have fields for \u00abDate of publishing\u00bb, \u00abAuthor\u00bb, \u00abPublisher\u00bb, \u00abPrice\u00bb, and anything else you require.<\/li>\n<li>Use <b>custom taxonomies <\/b>to categorize your posts. For example, your \u00abMovie\u00bb and \u00abBook\u00bb posts could belong to different \u00abgenres\u00bb, where \u00abGenre\u00bb is a custom taxonomy you create.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Step 1) Install Types Plugin<\/h2>\n<p>To create these custom post types, fields and taxonomies, you will need <strong>Types<\/strong> plugin. Go to your <a href=\"https:\/\/wpml.org\/account\/\">WPML account<\/a> and click on <strong>Downloads<\/strong>. Scroll to the <strong>Toolset<\/strong> section and download <strong>Types<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 2) Create Your Site&#8217;s Custom Structure<\/h2>\n<p>Once you have <strong>Types<\/strong> plugin installed, go to <b>Toolset &gt; Dashboard<\/b> in the WordPress admin. Here, you can create new post types and create custom fields, taxonomies, and more.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2580555\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2580555\" style=\"width: 972px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2580555\" src=\"https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/toolset-dashboard-overview.png\" alt=\"Use Toolset Dashboard to easily create custom post types, fields, and taxonomies\" width=\"972\" height=\"475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/toolset-dashboard-overview.png 972w, https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/toolset-dashboard-overview-150x73.png 150w, https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/toolset-dashboard-overview-300x147.png 300w, https:\/\/wpml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/toolset-dashboard-overview-768x375.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 972px) 100vw, 972px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2580555\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Use Toolset Dashboard to easily create custom post types, fields, and taxonomies<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For a step-by-step guide, please visit the Toolset page about <a href=\"https:\/\/toolset.com\/documentation\/getting-started-with-toolset\/structure-your-data-with-custom-post-types-fields-and-taxonomies\/\">setting up custom post types, fields, and taxonomy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 3) Write the New Content<\/h2>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve created custom types (with their fields and taxonomy), you can go ahead and start writing content.
