Post types & taxonomies

Highend registers seven custom post types and six custom taxonomies, all conditional on the matching Highend Module being enabled (checked with highend_is_module_enabled(); see Functions & constants). Modules are enabled by default. A module's toggle only takes effect once the master Enable/Disable Highend Modules switch is turned on, so all seven post types register out of the box. None of them declare has_archive or a custom rewrite slug unless noted below, so each uses the default /{post_type}/{post_name}/ permalink structure and has no built-in archive page. Grid/listing pages are built with the dedicated page templates instead (Portfolio Standard, Gallery Standard, and so on).

	'post_type'      => 'faq',
	'posts_per_page' => -1,

TestimonialsCopy Anchor Link

$testimonials = new WP_Query( array(
	'post_type'      => 'hb_testimonials',
	'posts_per_page' => 6,
) );

ClientsCopy Anchor Link

Registered in includes/core/class-highend-theme-setup.php, gated by hb_module_clients.

Pricing tablesCopy Anchor Link

Registered in includes/core/class-highend-theme-setup.php, gated by hb_module_pricing_tables.

Like clients, publicly_queryable => false means there's no public single page. Unlike clients, hb_pricing_table also sets query_var => false, so it doesn't answer a ?hb_pricing_table= query var either. Pricing tables are read directly (by ID, or with 'post_type' => 'hb_pricing_table') and rendered through the [pricing_table] shortcode, not linked to individually.

Reading a post type's metaCopy Anchor Link

Every metabox group above is read the same way, with vp_metabox() using "{group_id}.{field_id}":

$team_role = vp_metabox( 'team_member_settings.hb_employee_position', '', $post_id );
$author    = vp_metabox( 'testimonial_type_settings.hb_testimonial_author', '', $post_id );

Field IDs inside each group aren't listed here. Check the corresponding file in admin/metaboxes/ (for example meta-team-member-settings.php for team_member_settings) for the exact field IDs available in that group.

In the post editor, a post type with two or more groups shows them as tabs of one Highend Settings box (ID highend_settings), with some fields regrouped by topic. The group IDs, field IDs and saved meta are the same as before, so vp_metabox() calls don't change.

Post likesCopy Anchor Link

The Like button (Portfolio and blog posts) stores its count in the _likes post meta key on any post type, read and written through hb_like_this(). See Functions & constants.
