Many front-end designers wish they could build site functionality without the help of a PHP programmer. Luckily, WordPress makes that possible with Custom Post Types (CPTs) — even for people who know HTML and CSS, but not PHP. This presentation will explain what custom post types and taxonomies are, why they are awesome and how to build them. In a designer-friendly language and teaching style, attendees will learn how to code (yes, code) CPTs from scratch and use them to create dynamic front-end content managed by a user-friendly back-end admin. The end of the session will include time for questions and links to helpful resources. This session is perfect for front-end designers familiar with HTML/CSS and editing code using a text editor and FTP. Users with no HTML/CSS experience who only use WordPress via the back-end admin may be lost and people who already know how to make CPTs may find the information too basic.
