WordPress Development Asked by Yogesh on October 30, 2021
I’m trying to add two custom post types, "articles" and "projects". Using a php code i found on wpbeginner, "articles" post has worked. But when I’m trying the same code with "projects" i’m getting a code error.
Your PHP code changes were rolled back due to an error on line 70 of
file wp-content/themes/generatepress-child/functions.php. Please fix
and try saving again.Cannot redeclare create_posttype() (previously declared in
wp-content/themes/generatepress-child/functions.php:34)
// Our custom post type function
function create_posttype() {
register_post_type( 'articles',
// CPT Options
array(
'labels' => array(
'name' => __( 'Articles' ),
'singular_name' => __( 'Article' )
),
'public' => true,
'has_archive' => true,
'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'articles'),
'show_in_rest' => true,
)
);
}
// Hooking up our function to theme setup
add_action( 'init', 'create_posttype' );
// Our custom post type function
function create_posttype() {
register_post_type( 'projects',
// CPT Options
array(
'labels' => array(
'name' => __( 'Projects' ),
'singular_name' => __( 'Project' )
),
'public' => true,
'has_archive' => true,
'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'projects'),
'show_in_rest' => true,
)
);
}
// Hooking up our function to theme setup
add_action( 'init', 'create_posttype' );
As Jacob Peattie pointed out in this comment, the reason why you code isn't working is because you have two functions with same name create_posttype
. PHP assumes you want to re-declare the function, which you cannot do.
So in order for your code to work, you can either combine your custom post types creation into one function (as Jacob suggests):
// Our custom post type function
function create_posttype() {
register_post_type( 'articles',
// CPT Options
array(
'labels' => array(
'name' => __( 'Articles' ),
'singular_name' => __( 'Article' )
),
'public' => true,
'has_archive' => true,
'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'articles'),
'show_in_rest' => true,
)
);
register_post_type( 'projects',
// CPT Options
array(
'labels' => array(
'name' => __( 'Projects' ),
'singular_name' => __( 'Project' )
),
'public' => true,
'has_archive' => true,
'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'projects'),
'show_in_rest' => true,
)
);
}
// Hooking up our function to theme setup
add_action( 'init', 'create_posttype' );
... or give each function an unique name if you prefer to use two functions:
// Our custom post type function
function create_posttype_articles() {
register_post_type( 'articles',
// CPT Options
array(
'labels' => array(
'name' => __( 'Articles' ),
'singular_name' => __( 'Article' )
),
'public' => true,
'has_archive' => true,
'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'articles'),
'show_in_rest' => true,
)
);
}
// Hooking up our function to theme setup
add_action( 'init', 'create_posttype_articles' );
// Our custom post type function
function create_posttype_projects() {
register_post_type( 'projects',
// CPT Options
array(
'labels' => array(
'name' => __( 'Projects' ),
'singular_name' => __( 'Project' )
),
'public' => true,
'has_archive' => true,
'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'projects'),
'show_in_rest' => true,
)
);
}
// Hooking up our function to theme setup
add_action( 'init', 'create_posttype_projects' );
