Custom Post Type in Beans
I added two custom post types (in Norwegian).
One to create an archive of posts called Edwien.
The other for a news section called Nettmagasin.

Above we see the custom post types that I added. Edwien and Nettmagasin. I also added kategori (a category) and stikkord (tags).
An example of what it looks like at present on the Edwien archive page.
(It will likely be adjusted.)

I had to add extra code for the Beans child theme to show the Kategori (Category) and the Stikkord (Tags).
The Custom Post Type structure
I made a plugin. I could add the code directly to files in the child theme instead, but decided for now to create a plugin.
I named the initial file cpt-rel.php (Custom Post Type – religion)
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: CPT Religionskritikk
Plugin URI:
Description: Adds a custom post type for the religionskritikk web site.
Version: 0.1
Author: Paal Joachim Romdahl
Author URI: http://www.easywebdesigntutorials.com
Text Domain: movie custom post type
License: GPLv2 or later
*/
require_once('custom-post-type.php');
?>
The next file I named custom-post-type.php. It contains all the information needed for the custom posts.
