The blog is about gardening, homedecor, related news etc.
The arguments in favor of custom post type:
1. Above topics should be kept separate as they are unrelated. Custom post type will allow hard siloing.
2. Separate categories will have separate url structures like ‘domain/gardening/article-heading’, ‘domain/homedecor/article-heading’. I don’t know its pros cons. I see common pattern among competitors using ‘domain/article-heading/’.
3. Custom post type will help different authors to manage their content, who are limited to each subject area
4. CPT will allow any customization of post format if needed in future
​
The arguments against custom post type:
1. Similar siloing can be achieved by default post type with strict internal linking .
2. At present, none of the categories require custom post format. There is nothing that can’t be handled by default post format.
3. Creating custom post type may unnecessarily complicate things
4. Most of the competitors are using ‘domain/article-title/’ format
What’d you choose? Is there a thumb rule to decide when to create custom post type? What’ll be pros and cons for both approaches in above case?
