[Resolved] doubts about how to structure my site

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The issue here was that the user wanted to know what kind of structure to use whether he should create a custom post type for his content or not.

He also wanted to know how to do paid posts or premium posts.

Solution:
Custom post type is always the way to go when you are creating information in wordpress. So if you want to create a sspecific group of posts then use post types,

With CRED and custom post types along with Woocommerce you can easily implement a premium gallery option because CRED allows you to charge users when submitting articles.

For the Premium option with CRED you can take a look at this link below.

after many days of work, I need your advice to finish my site (www.riplove.club):

questions:

1) better to use post type or wordpress articles for simple post / user number management?
I'm afraid that in the future the post types are no longer managed by wordpress!

2) if in the future I want to add a paid photogallery (paypal payment) I have to redo many things?

thank you
Maximum

Hi Massimo,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

A. Custom post type is always the way to go when you are creating information in wordpress. So if you want to create a sspecific group of posts then use post types,

2) if in the future I want to add a paid photogallery (paypal payment) I have to redo many things?

Please let me know if this helps.

thanks Shine for the answer,

A) ok then I choose the post type, but I noticed that in wordpress users are not counted, the posts are instead counted.

B) Implement = add to what I did or do you intend to redo a new user administration section from scratch?

Hi Massimo,

Im not sure what you mean by wordpress users are not counted? Are you planning to do something with user count ?

Regarding the charging for the premium gallery it can be added to what has already been implemented.

Thanks,
Shane

if a user writes a post type and then I go into wordpress users, the number of posts written does not change.

Hi Massimo,

I see what you mean, for this it would require some custom code to achieve because wordpress only pulls information from the default Post type to how the count for the user.

For the Premium option with CRED you can take a look at this link below.
