Prerequisite

• How To Find Post Id in WordPress

Recommended Method To Use Custom Post Types Widgets

• Always use “Custom” sort instead of “Random or Latest” in the widget.
• Enter respective custom post type IDs separated by commas.

Example:

Let see an example of “Services Widget” in the Farad WordPress theme.

• We have used 8 widgets in the Farad Classic Home Page
  1. Farad Callout
  2. Farad Flexslider (Used Custom Sort)
  3. Farad Text
  4. Farad Services (Used Custom Sort)
  5. Farad Portfolio (Used Custom Sort)
  6. Farad Services (Used Custom Sort)
  7. Farad Staff (Used Custom Sort)
  8. Farad Google Map
• You will notice that we have used 2 widgets of “Services Custom Post Type” on the same layout and these widgets are displaying different data by using the power of Custom Sort

Advantages Of Using Custom Sort

• You can easily use these widgets in different layouts.
• Adding new data to the respective custom post type will not effect your layout.
