   1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44

   // Register Custom Post Type function custom_post_type() {   $labels = array( 'name'                => _x( 'Products', 'Post Type General Name', 'text_domain' ), 'singular_name'       => _x( 'Product', 'Post Type Singular Name', 'text_domain' ), 'menu_name'           => __( 'Product', 'text_domain' ), 'parent_item_colon'   => __( 'Parent Product:', 'text_domain' ), 'all_items'           => __( 'All Products', 'text_domain' ), 'view_item'           => __( 'View Product', 'text_domain' ), 'add_new_item'        => __( 'Add New Product', 'text_domain' ), 'add_new'             => __( 'New Product', 'text_domain' ), 'edit_item'           => __( 'Edit Product', 'text_domain' ), 'update_item'         => __( 'Update Product', 'text_domain' ), 'search_items'        => __( 'Search products', 'text_domain' ), 'not_found'           => __( 'No products found', 'text_domain' ), 'not_found_in_trash'  => __( 'No products found in Trash', 'text_domain' ), ); $args = array( 'label'               => __( 'product', 'text_domain' ), 'description'         => __( 'Product information pages', 'text_domain' ), 'labels'              => $labels, 'supports'            => array( ), 'taxonomies'          => array( 'category', 'post_tag' ), 'hierarchical'        => false, 'public'              => true, 'show_ui'             => true, 'show_in_menu'        => true, 'show_in_nav_menus'   => true, 'show_in_admin_bar'   => true, 'menu_position'       => 5, 'menu_icon'           => '', 'can_export'          => true, 'has_archive'         => true, 'exclude_from_search' => false, 'publicly_queryable'  => true, 'capability_type'     => 'page', ); register_post_type( 'product', $args );   }   // Hook into the 'init' action add_action( 'init', 'custom_post_type', 0 );

2. Create custom template files (copy and rename archive.php and single.php as below)
   • single posts of a custom post type will use single-mycompany_product.php
   • and their archives will use archive-mycompany_product.php
3.  Navigate in WP-Admin menu to:  Settings->Permalinks. Update page, this will rewrite .htaccess
