How Do I Add a Page Type in WordPress?

Adding a new page type in WordPress is not as difficult as it may seem. In this article, we will outline the necessary steps to add a new page type in WordPress.

First, you will need to create a new file in your WordPress themes directory called “pages.php”. Within this file, you will need to add the following code:

Next, you will need to add a new function to your wp-config.php file. Within this function, you will need to add the following code:

define(‘WP_PAGES’, true);

Next, you will need to create a new file called “pages.php” within your newly created Pages directory. Within this file, you will need to add the following code:

/*

* Register the new page type

*/

register_new_pagetype( ‘MyNewPageType’, ‘MyNewPageType’);

Finally, you will need to add the following code to your theme’s functions.php file:

add_action( ‘init’, ‘register_new_pagetype’);

add_action( ‘template_redirect’, ‘register_new_pagetype_redirect’);

add_action( ‘wp_loaded’, ‘register_new_pagetype_loaded’);

add_action( ‘init’, ‘register_new_pagetype_loaded’);

The above code will register your new page type, load the template files for your new page type, and call the appropriate functions when your new page type is loaded.
