New Video Class: WordPress Quick Post Types and Metaboxes

In this short class, Topher takes an intermediate-level approach to quickly creating custom post types and meta boxes.

First, using a plugin called GenerateWP, you’ll create the code for your custom post type. Its as simple as selecting a tool, filling in the form and generating the code.

Second, using a plugin called CMB2, you’ll quickly add metaboxes to admin forms and content types.
