Using a Custom Post Type is a great way to separate your custom content from your post given that WordPress posts are for blogging and non necessarily custom content.<\/p>\n

So for example, let’s say you want to create a new section on your website, different from the blog, titled Tutorials. In order to display them accordingly, you’ll need to create a custom Post Type.<\/p>\n

Here’s how you can create your own Custom Post Type:<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n
