I especially love your comments and encouragement to just go on out and TRY to do whatever it is you’re trying to learn. Don’t be afraid to BREAK IT, in fact that is the learning process! Thank you for the green light.
Lol!! Thanks for listening!!
Hey guys,
Thanks a lot for this tremendous amount of useful information and sympathy!
After using Wordpress for around 10 years as a developer, I’m still learning new things and that’s great!
Robey’s implementation of custom post types is awesome.
Cheers
Hey thanks for the comment Ben, and thanks for watching!! ? Robey was awesome right!? He’ll be back on August 8 when we do our podcasting episode. Thanks again!!
Hey Robey,
dug into your concept of auto-publishing CPTs using Sean Barton’s Auto Injector and Elliot’s Custom Content Shortcode. Thanks a lot for presenting this here. There’s one question that’s unresolved for me, however: How did you manage to create multi-picture sliders using this setup?
Hey Andreas,
Thanks! 🙂
The gallery was the same on all properties, as that’s all the client wanted, no individual galleries per CPT.
So in this case I just used the standard divi gallery module in the layout.
However, in the Custom Content Shortcode plugin, you can use [content gallery=carousel], which may be a similar solution.
