Library Custom Post Types

—IN DEVELOPMENT, CHANGE TO COME—

This plugin pack has been built with library websites in mind where common content types like a staff directory, database listing, and journal listing are typically in use. It’s also meant to act as a sort of framework to help libraries better take advantage of WordPress’ custom types by demonstrating working examples.

Three different custom post types are included in this plugin pack:

• Databases
• Staff Directory
• Journals

Each custom post type has been built as a plugin and can be turned on/off in the plugins section.

Elements of the custom post types:

• Custom metaboxes (specific information like ISSN, time span coverage, staff member’s phone number, etc.)
• Custom taxonomies (like subjects that the journal or database is associated with)
• Custom columns (information straight from the metaboxes when you view all your items for that custom post type)
