[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Toolset is a WordPress plugin that allows you to create new post types (aside from the predefined ones like blog, products, and portfolio) without needing to rewrite your theme\u2019s PHP.<\/p>\n

Its possibilities are many. It lets you reorganize your website\u2019s content into independent sections that you can create, assigning them new fields and taxonomies (categories, tags, etc.).<\/p>\n

In its simplest use, Toolset will help us create a new section of the website where we can upload new types of entries separate from the blog, such as projects, tutorials, or any other content area we want to distinguish from the main pages using a new generic URL. For example: https:\/\/mywebsite\/projects\/new-project<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Initially, its use is very simple. We add the plugin from the WordPress repository<\/a>. We activate it and from our WordPress dashboard, under the Toolset section, we add a new post type:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We assign it a plural and singular name, and a slug for the URL, mark the taxonomies we want to appear in this post type, and set its position in our admin panel.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Below, we check the sections or fields we want this new post type to have. For example: Title, editor, featured image, etc.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We save this new post type and most of the work is done.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll see that a new section has appeared in our WordPress admin menu with the name we assigned, for example \u201ctests\u201d:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now we\u2019re going to add a new item and we can create a new entry within the category we\u2019ve created:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now the problems begin.<\/h3>\n

By default, this new entry will use the default template of our site<\/em>, which is usually the predefined page for the blog: a page with a sidebar that inherits parameters from the blog page.<\/span><\/h3>\n

This may not work for our new section because we want a different kind of page template<\/strong>, such as a full-page layout like the one we use for other general pages on the site.<\/span><\/h3>\n\t
