ACF: Custom Post Type & Taxonomy Preview along with a demonstration of Pattern Manager
Channel: WP Engine Builders
Date: 2023-03-16

We'll leverage the powerful new features of ACF to:
- Create a custom post type: Recipes
- Create a custom taxonomy: Recipe Types (e.g. breakfast, lunch, dinner)
- Create custom fields for Cook & Prep Times
- Create a custom ACF Block with custom fields already assigned
- Create a custom WordPress plugin to organize all of our customizations
- Create a set of custom full-page block patterns with Pattern Manager to expedite the editorial flow. Keep in mind you do not have to create full-page patterns, but smaller patterns are feasible too. 😉
- Customize the Frost theme with a unique Recipe archive and single Recipe templates

In under an hour, we'll have created a full cooking recipes site 💥
