Although WordPress started out as a blogging platform, it has since developed into a full featured Content Management System (CMS). Part of what makes it so useful as a CMS is it's support for Custom Post Types (CPT). This enables WordPress to host arbitrary data, beyond the default posts and pages.
Frontity is able to work with Custom Post Types, and in this section we'll see how we can use them in our project.
