Hi, My name is Andy Leverenz. I design, code, and am an author of things. Check out my agency called Couple of Creatives (https://coupleofcreatives.com) and my blog Web-Crunch (https://web-crunch.com)🤘🏻

Part 5 continues my series titled "How to Code HTML to WordPress". In this video we make custom post types, categories, and custom fields that tie together to create the menu of the design.

Adding a Custom Post Type

The static code quickly becomes dynamic after I create a custom post type in WordPress called Meals. With this custom post type, I'm able to mimic traditional posts on a blog post for instance.

Inside the theme, I use the wp_query class to query the database for the post type I created. From there I display the content based on the category name. What seems like a complicated mess is actually rather simple. I repeat a lot of code which I'm not a huge fan of but I'm able to output each menu item within its the corresponding category.
