Question about creating my first WordPress theme

[ad_1]

I’m creating a custom WordPress theme. I’m a software developer but this is my first time attempting anything with WordPress.

I have a custom post type encapsulated within a plugin. Let’s say it’s called Ice Cream Sundae. If I am in the admin panel and I hit add new everything kinda sucks.

What I want is a form with a title, price, ingredients, image with image upload and maybe a few other things. I’d like this to be in the content area where it says add title. I think I’m using custom placeholders so that the admin doesn’t have to hit the + and add the block.

So with that, the way it is not is add title, with the block below it saying add title.

To the right I see all the form fields that I want. How can I improve this? At the very least, I certainly don’t need the add title. Then below it can I at least have it say Ice Cream Bock or something instead of add title? I’m guessing what I want to do probably isn’t possible. I’d like to just have the form fields in the content area.

Sorry for such a noob question and thanks in advance!

  1. Did you create the plugin and the CPT?

    You’re probably looking for [ACF]). It let’s you add/remove fields from post types.
