Want to adding custom columns to custom post types? The hooks to create custom columns and their associated data for a custom post type are manage_{$post_type}_posts_columns and manage_{$post_type}_posts_custom_column respectively, where {$post_type} is the name of the custom post type.
This example from the documentation removes the author column and adds a taxonomy and meta data column:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 | /** * Add the custom columns to the book post type. */ function set_custom_edit_book_columns($columns) { unset( $columns['author'] ); $columns['book_author'] = __( 'Author', 'your_text_domain' ); $columns['publisher'] = __( 'Publisher', 'your_text_domain' ); return $columns; } add_filter( 'manage_book_posts_columns', 'set_custom_edit_book_columns' ); /** * Add the data to the custom columns for the book post type. */ function custom_book_column( $column, $post_id ) { switch ( $column ) { case 'book_author' : $terms = get_the_term_list( $post_id , 'book_author' , '' , ',' , '' ); if ( is_string( $terms ) ) echo $terms; else _e( 'Unable to get author(s)', 'your_text_domain' ); break; case 'publisher' : echo get_post_meta( $post_id , 'publisher' , true ); break; } } add_action( 'manage_book_posts_custom_column' , 'custom_book_column', 10, 2 ); |
