Custom Post Types in WordPress

[justdan]

Hey guys,

Quick question. I started getting into themeing in WordPress lately. I get a lot of what I’m doing but one area that’s still tricky is custom post types. I can register them in the my functions.php file and I get my added option to my admin bar, but when I try to pull them onto my homepage.php file, I don’t get what I’m after or nothing shows up at all. I know that this is a big area so I won’t ask anyone to tell me how to do it, but if somebody knows of a great link to start me out it’d be very appreciated. I tried numerous google searches and tested many snippets of code, but I still couldn’t get it to work so I thought I’d ask here. Any help is greatly appreciated as always guys. Thank you.

<?php
    // WP_Query arguments
    $args = array (
        'post_type' => 'YOUR-CUSTOM-TYPE-HERE',
    );
    // The Query
    $the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
    // The Loop
    if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
            echo '<ul>';
        while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
            $the_query->the_post();
            echo '<li>' . get_the_title() . '</li>';
        }
            echo '</ul>';
    } else {
        // no posts found
    }
    /* Restore original Post Data */
    wp_reset_postdata();
?>
