function consultatns_custom() {
  
// Set UI labels for Custom Post Type
    $labels = array(
        'name'                => _x( 'Consultant', 'Post Type General Name', 'immigration' ),
        'singular_name'       => _x( 'consultant', 'Post Type Singular Name', 'immigration' ),

add post or custom post title in contact form 7

Hello
I am trying to:
load all my post titles of a specific custom post type into a select box of my contact form.
Currently, I'm using Contact Form 7

Here is the solution :
You need to create a custom shortcode in the contact form 7 for the select box. In order to create the custom shortcode for displaying title in select box, you can use the following custom shortcode.

Add this code to your function.php file.

add_action( 'wpcf7_init', 'custom_views_post_title' );

  

function custom_views_post_title() {

    wpcf7_add_shortcode( 'custom_views_post_title', 'custom_views_post_title_shortcode_handler' );

}

  

function custom_views_post_title_shortcode_handler( $tag ) {

    global $post;

    $args = array( 'post_type' => 'event' );

    $myposts = get_posts( $args );

    $output = '<select name="eventname" id="fleet" onchange="document.getElementById(\'fleet\').value=this.value;"><option></option>';

    foreach ( $myposts as $post ) : setup_postdata($post);

       $title = get_the_title();

       $output .= '<option value="'. $title .'">'. $title .' </option>';

    endforeach;

    $output .= "</select>";

    return $output;

}

and use the shortcode [custom_views_post_title] in contact form 7.

Now how to display in contact form 7 email :

Your code is :

$output = '<select name="eventname">

So write  [eventname]

Add tag and category to custom post type

Hi.
Here i share simple code for create tag and category for custom post type. Put this code in functions.php in your theme folder

//hook into the init action and call create_Category_nonhierarchical_taxonomy when it fires

add_action( 'init', 'create_Category_nonhierarchical_taxonomy', 0 );

function create_Category_nonhierarchical_taxonomy() {

// Labels part for the GUI

  $labels = array(
    'name' => _x( 'Categories', 'taxonomy general name' ),
    'singular_name' => _x( 'Category', 'taxonomy singular name' ),
    'search_items' =>  __( 'Search Category' ),
    'popular_items' => __( 'Popular Category' ),
    'all_items' => __( 'All Category' ),

    'choose_from_most_used' => __( 'Choose from the most used Category' ),
    'menu_name' => __( 'Category' ),
  );

// Now register the non-hierarchical taxonomy like tag

  register_taxonomy('RCategory','resources',array(
    'hierarchical' => true,
    'labels' => $labels,
    'show_ui' => true,
    'show_admin_column' => true,
    'update_count_callback' => '_update_post_term_count',
    'query_var' => true,
    'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'rcategory' ),
  ));
  register_taxonomy(
            'resources_tag',
            'resources',
            array(
                'hierarchical'  => false,
                'label'         => __( 'Tags', CURRENT_THEME ),
                'singular_name' => __( 'Tag', CURRENT_THEME ),
                'rewrite'       => true,
                'query_var'     => true
            ) 
        );
}
//end code
