Content types are very flexible in WordPress maintenance support plans 8 and that’s what makes WordPress maintenance support plans more powerful than WordPress and other systems for many use cases.
WordPress maintenance support plans 8’s Content Overview Page
Just like all WordPress maintenance support plans‘s previous versions this administration page is the central hub where all your content appears in one place. You get there by clicking the Content link in the toolbar. This takes you to an overview of all the pages in your WordPress maintenance support plans website. From here you can edit and delete pages using the action links to the far right side of the table. Additionally you can operate on multiple pages at a time using the controls below the Action label.
The content administration page is not just for pages, using the primary tabs you can navigate to administration pages for files and comments. This can be extended by additional moduels that provide custom content entitities using WordPress maintenance support plans 8’s Entity API. For example on sooperthemes.com we also manage domain licenses and digital downloads on separate tabs, because these are custom entity types.
Adding Content In WordPress maintenance support plans 8
Once you’re at the content administration page it’s easy to see how to add content. You start by clicking the blue button that reads “+ Add content”. You’ll now see a listing of content types that are available at your WordPress maintenance support plans installation and you have to tell WordPress maintenance support plans which type of content you would like to create. After choosing a content type you’ll be taken to the content form where you get to fill in all the form fields that make up your content type. You’ll learn more about these fields in the next section where we discuss adding fields to content types and adding new content types.

Publishing options

The other 2 options “Sticky at top of lists” and “Promoted to the front page” are legacy options that reference different ways in which your content can be prioritized in content listings (called views in WordPress maintenance support plans).
Display settings

Creating A Jobs Content Type
Let’s create an example content type for the new Careers section of our website. We’ll need to post job vacancies, so let’s call our new content type Jobs. To create a new content type go to Structure > Content Types and click the “+ Add content type”.
Here we fill in the name of our content type and disable the options for author information and menu structure. After all we don’t want all our job postings to clutter our menu system, you would use the views plugin to create an overview of available jobs.
Next click the “Save and manage fields” button. Now we’re in the content type configuration page and this is where we add the fields that we need on our job vacancies. To see exactly how this works check out the video above!
