The best way is to register a custom post type then loop through that type within your projects page template.
CPT from GenerateWP.
if ( ! function_exists('projects') ) {
// Register Custom Post Type
function projects() {
$labels = array(
'name' => _x( 'Projects', 'Post Type General Name', 'text_domain' ),
'singular_name' => _x( 'Project', 'Post Type Singular Name', 'text_domain' ),
'menu_name' => __( 'Projects', 'text_domain' ),
'name_admin_bar' => __( 'Projects', 'text_domain' ),
'parent_item_colon' => __( 'Parent Project:', 'text_domain' ),
'all_items' => __( 'All Projects', 'text_domain' ),
'add_new_item' => __( 'Add New Project', 'text_domain' ),
'add_new' => __( 'Add New', 'text_domain' ),
'new_item' => __( 'New Project', 'text_domain' ),
'edit_item' => __( 'Edit Project', 'text_domain' ),
'update_item' => __( 'Update Project', 'text_domain' ),
'view_item' => __( 'View Project', 'text_domain' ),
'search_items' => __( 'Search Projects', 'text_domain' ),
'not_found' => __( 'Not found', 'text_domain' ),
'not_found_in_trash' => __( 'Not found in Trash', 'text_domain' ),
'items_list' => __( 'Projects list', 'text_domain' ),
'items_list_navigation' => __( 'Projects list navigation', 'text_domain' ),
'filter_items_list' => __( 'Filter project list', 'text_domain' ),
);
$rewrite = array(
'slug' => 'project',
'with_front' => true,
'pages' => true,
'feeds' => true,
);
$args = array(
'label' => __( 'Project', 'text_domain' ),
'description' => __( 'A Single Project', 'text_domain' ),
'labels' => $labels,
'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'excerpt', 'author', 'thumbnail', 'comments', 'custom-fields', ),
'taxonomies' => array( 'category', 'post_tag' ),
'hierarchical' => false,
'public' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'show_in_menu' => true,
'menu_position' => 5,
'menu_icon' => 'dashicons-media-document',
'show_in_admin_bar' => true,
'show_in_nav_menus' => true,
'can_export' => true,
'has_archive' => true,
'exclude_from_search' => false,
'publicly_queryable' => true,
'rewrite' => $rewrite,
'capability_type' => 'page',
);
register_post_type( 'projects', $args );
}
add_action( 'init', 'projects', 0 );
}
In your Projects Template run your custom loop.
<?php
/*
* Template Name: Projects Page Template
* Description: Page template to display projects custom post types
*/
get_header(); ?>
<div id="primary" class="content-area">
<main id="main" class="site-main" role="main">
<?php
// WP_Query arguments
$args = array (
'post_type' => 'projects',
);
// The Query
$query = new WP_Query( $args );
// The Loop
if ( $query->have_posts() ) {
while ( $query->have_posts() ) {
// PROJECT
$query->the_post(); ?>
<h3><a href="https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/211354/<?php the_permalink();?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
<?php the_field('description'); ?>
<hr><?php
}
} else { ?>
<p>There are no posts or pages here</p>
<?php }
// Restore original Post Data
wp_reset_postdata();
// The Content
echo apply_filters( 'the_content', get_the_content() );
?>
</main><!-- .site-main -->
</div><!-- .content-area -->
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
You can create a page /projects and set the template to Projects Template which will list all your projects as /project/project-title.
But if you’re looking to just add extra fields to a post and tag them as a project then that’s more of a loop question.
