Custom Post Types

HoverCraft can generally display normal WordPress custom post types, but custom post types are not a primary focus of the theme.

• HoverCraft does not register or bundle any custom post types.
• Custom post types added by plugins or site-specific code should generally inherit HoverCraft's normal WordPress styling and layout behavior.
• Some post-oriented features, such as author biographies and tag display, can also work with supported custom post types.
• Custom post type registration should live outside the HoverCraft parent theme so the content model survives a future theme change.
• When normal Posts, Pages, categories, or tags can model the content cleanly, HoverCraft recommends using those simpler native structures instead.

Use a custom post type when the site has a genuinely distinct, durable content model that benefits from its own editing workflow, archive, or taxonomy behavior. Avoid adding custom post types only to create minor visual or organizational differences that normal WordPress content can already handle.
