Custom Content Types

The Custom Content Types feature adds custom post types (CPTs) to your site. These CPTs allow you to add content that doesn’t necessarily fit into a post, but isn’t right for a static page either. Since this is part of Jetpack, you can even switch themes without losing these custom post types!

Portfolios

The Portfolio custom post type gives you an easy way to manage and showcase projects on your site. To enable them, go to  Jetpack → Settings → Writing in your WordPress Dashboard and toggle on the Portfolio option under Custom Content Types.

You can then choose to display the portfolio using the portfolio shortcode ( [portfolio] ) or with a link to the portfolio in the menu.

Testimonials

The Testimonial custom post type allows you to add, organize, and display your testimonials. If your theme doesn’t support it yet, you can enable the Testimonial custom post type by activating the Custom Content Types feature in your Jetpack settings. Once activated, go to  Jetpack → Settings → Writing in your WordPress Dashboard and toggle on the Testimonials option under Custom Content Types.

You can then choose to display testimonials using the testimonial shortcode ( [testimonials] ) or you can view a full archive of your testimonials at yourgroovydomain.com/testimonial.

By default, when creating Testimonials you will not be able to add tags or assign the testimonial to one of the categories on your site. If you would like that option, you will need additional code snippets. In the example below, we add support for categories:

/**
 * Add Category support to the Testimonial Post Type available in Jetpack.
 */
add_action( 'init', function () {
    register_taxonomy_for_object_type( 'category', 'jetpack-testimonial' );
} );

Simple Food Menus

Add food menus to your theme by adding the following code to your theme, during after_setup_theme:
add_theme_support( 'nova_menu_item' );

The theme Confit uses these menus.

Comics

If you’d like to publish Comics on your site, you can use the Comics Post Type.

To add support to your existing theme, add the following code to your theme, during after_setup_theme:
add_theme_support( 'jetpack-comic' );
