❓ What is a Custom Post Type in WordPress?
A Custom Post Type (CPT) lets you create your own content categories beyond default posts and pages — like portfolios, testimonials, or listings. In this lesson, you'll create one from scratch using JetEngine.
❓ What is the difference between a taxonomy and a tag in WordPress?
Tags are a default WordPress taxonomy for loose grouping. Custom taxonomies let you create your own classification system for any post type — more flexible and organized.
❓ What are Custom Content Types (CCTs) in JetEngine?
CCTs are JetEngine's alternative to custom post types. Unlike CPTs, they store data in a separate database table — which means faster queries and better performance at scale.
