Custom Post Types (CPTs) are a powerful feature in WordPress, allowing users to extend the capabilities of their website beyond posts and pages. Creating CPTs can cater to specific content needs such as portfolios, testimonials, or any unique content type that doesn’t fit into the default post types.

To create a Custom Post Type manually, you can add a function in your theme’s functions.php file. This involves using the register_post_type() function, where you define the attributes of your new post type. Here’s the official WordPress codex page for reference.

However, if you prefer not to code, the Custom Post Type UI plugin is an excellent choice. This plugin provides a user-friendly interface to create and manage custom post types and taxonomies in WordPress. Check it out here.

Whether coding by hand or using a plugin, custom post types offer a flexible way to add tailored content to your WordPress site, enhancing its structure and functionality.
