  • HI yash78910,

    My guess is that you might use a custom taxonomy to classify all custom post types in a series and then use some code to link to the custom taxonomy page, which would list the courses in the series.

    Personally, I would hand-code these pages/templates so I could have maximum control and not have to rely on another plugin, but there are some plugins within the www.ads-software.com repo that will allow you to use shortcodes to embed loops of custom post types or custom taxonomies within a post, such as Posts in Page.

    If you need help figuring out which templates to use/make, you’ll likely want to check the Template Hierarchy.

    I hope that helps!

    Hi eric
    Did you know how can i do it using custom post type or not

    Like I said, I think you’d use a custom taxonomy (or an existing category or tag) to assign each post in the custom post type to a category, for instance, that matches the series in which you’ll list the post.

    Then, you’d use a query to pull items from that category (or tag, or custom taxonomy – whatever you choose).

    Does that make sense?

    If you’ve only got the custom post type, how are you classifying different custom post type entries? See what I mean?

    What did you mean by classifying different custom post type entries

    Okay, so you have a CPT named “Courses,” right?

    Let’s say you want to create courses in different subjects like:

    • English
    • History
    • Math
    • Geography

    The CPT is presumably only going to have the fields needed to show the data for the CPT. So, my inclination would be to create categories or a custom taxonomy (like custom categories or tags) that would be used to assign each class to one of the above subjects.

    I suppose you could also have a field in the CPT for subject and query based on that, but this isn’t as flexible.

    I want to pass different information like information of the courses and other meta that why I use CPT
