Post types

Post types let you group content into collections such as a blog, a product catalog, or any custom set of entries. Each post type has its own name, icon, default single-page template, and archive experience. This page shows you how to create one and tune how its entries are listed.

#Open the post types screen

1. Go to your dashboard at /dashboard.
2. Open the website you want to work on.
3. In the website workspace, open Post types. The list lives at /dashboard/websites/{website}/post-types.

The screen lists every post type you have created, with counts for posts, categories, and tags. If you have none yet, you will see a prompt to create your first one.

#Create a post type

1. On the Post types screen, select New post type.
2. Fill in the Basics:
   • Name is the collection label, for example Blog or Products. It is used for navigation labels and collection names.
   • Singular name is used when creating or editing one item, for example Article.
   • Kind is either Blog or Product. Blog types behave like editorial content. Product types unlock product builder details.
   • Icon shows on the post type card and related navigation.
3. Review the Slug preview. The slug is generated automatically from the name when the post type is created, and it cannot be edited afterward.
4. Select Create post type. You are taken to the edit screen so you can finish the presentation settings.

#Organize entries

In the Organization section you control grouping and sorting.

• Sort order controls where the type appears in lists and filters. Lower numbers appear first.
• Categories lets you organize entries into named buckets. Turn this on if you want a category structure.
• Tags allows lighter cross-topic labels. Turn this on for free-form tagging.

You can change these at any time from the edit screen.

#Choose an archive preset

The Presentation section is where you set how a list of entries (the archive) looks.

1. Set the Default template. This is the single-page template used for new entries unless an item overrides it. Leave it inherited to keep using the site default template.
2. Pick an Archive preset. Each preset is a ready-made archive look that bundles a shell layout, a card style, and a loading behavior. The choices are previewed live, so you can see the layout before selecting.
3. To clear a choice and fall back to the kit default, select the same preset again.

Archive presets and card styles come from your active theme (kit), so the available options depend on the theme applied to the website. See Themes for more on kits.

#Card variants

Each preset includes a card variant, the style used to render every entry in the archive. The card label is shown on the preset preview. Presets are filtered to match the post type kind, so Blog types show article-style cards and Product types show product-style cards.

#Loading behavior

Presets also set how more entries are revealed:

• Paginated keeps archives stable and easy to scan page by page.
• Load more adds one clear action to reveal more cards in place.
• Infinite scroll loads more entries automatically as visitors scroll.

#Save your changes

On the edit screen, select Save changes. On the create screen the action is Create post type. A confirmation appears when the post type is saved.

#Delete a post type

1. On the Post types screen, open the actions for the type you want to remove.
2. Select Delete, then confirm in the dialog.

Deleting a post type removes the collection. The site's built-in default post type cannot be edited or deleted from this screen.
