'Custom Post Types' for website builder
M
Mark Persaud
It would be great to see functionality along the lines of Wordpress 'Custom Post Types' in the website builder. And then have the ability to use the data from the Custom Post Types in dynamic fields/widgets in the website builder.Similar to using Custom Post Type UI - https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-post-type-ui/Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) - https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/ andElementor Pro - https://elementor.com/help/elementor-acf/In Wordpress you can use this to create portfolios, list properties, vehicles, restaurants, clinic loacations - you name it. It would be amazing to have this functionality and flexibility when building websites in GHL. 👍

Isn't this a HighLevel website recommendation and not a WordPress item?

Good idea. Even in hubspot can be created multiple blog types (similar with WP custom post types).

I agree this would be great. It could be used to create listings for different types of items. For example, I would use it to create real estate listings. I could set the fields I want to be visible that the client can fill out. There would be a page with all the listings, and a user can click the one they want to see to get full details. But I think this would have a wide range of applications.
Some users might even want the ability to have front-end submissions where website visitors could submit new listings. Then you could even have a Craigslist-style directory. This feature would open up a lot of possibilities.
Currently this is the one feature lacking that's preventing me from signing up for a second SaaS mode account to move one of our businesses over to High Level.

Todd Heitner: This is exactly what I did using Wordpress Custom Post Types on this site. Would be be great to be able to do this on GHL sites - Game changer.

Mark Persaud: Yes, I did something similar on WordPress as well. When WordPress added custom post types it really opened up the possibilities of how it could be used. I agree, if High Level added this it would be a game changer.

Mark Persaud: We also have a site with event listings. We're using an events plugin for this, but it just creates custom post types for events. That's another thing that keeps us from being able to move one of our sites to HL. We have an events page that gets traffic from search engines, so we need to keep that functionality, but there isn't a good way to do it with High Level currently.
