[](#migrating-from-v2-to-v3)

> **Important**: v3.0 is a breaking release. Existing v2 post type and taxonomy definitions will not work without modification. Please review the migration guide in the [documentation](https://posttypes.jjgrainger.co.uk) on how to upgrade to version 3.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP >=8.1
- [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/)
- [WordPress](https://wordpress.org) >=6.3

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

#### Install with composer

[](#install-with-composer)

Run the following in your terminal to install PostTypes with [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/).

```
$ composer require jjgrainger/posttypes

```

PostTypes uses [PSR-4](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-4/) autoloading and can be used with the Composer's autoloader. See Composer's [basic usage](https://getcomposer.org/doc/01-basic-usage.md#autoloading) guide for details on working with Composer and autoloading.

Basic Usage
-----------

[](#basic-usage)

#### Create a custom post type

[](#create-a-custom-post-type)

Custom post types are defined as classes that extend the base `PostType` class. At a minimum, the `name` method must be implemented to define the post type slug. All other methods are optional and allow you to configure labels, options, taxonomies, admin columns, filters, and more as needed.
