I would recommend not using a plugin to create custom post types.
You can register custom post types by adding a function to your themes functions.php file.
Here’s an example:
// REGISTER CUSTOM POST TYPES
// You can register more, just duplicate the register_post_type code inside of the function and change the values. You are set!
if ( ! function_exists( 'create_post_type' ) ) :
function create_post_type() {
// You'll want to replace the values below with your own.
register_post_type( 'genstarter', // change the name
array(
'labels' => array(
'name' => __( 'Gen Starter' ), // change the name
'singular_name' => __( 'genstarter' ), // change the name
),
'public' => true,
'supports' => array ( 'title', 'editor', 'custom-fields', 'page-attributes', 'thumbnail' ), // do you need all of these options?
'taxonomies' => array( 'category', 'post_tag' ), // do you need categories and tags?
'hierarchical' => true,
'menu_icon' => get_bloginfo( 'template_directory' ) . "/images/icon.png",
'rewrite' => array ( 'slug' => __( 'genstarters' ) ) // change the name
)
);
}
add_action( 'init', 'create_post_type' );
endif; // ####
