Check is custom post type

1 Views

I have a custom post type : 

// Custom posttype Events
$labels = array(
    'name' => _x('Events', 'Post Type General Name'),
    'singular_name' => _x('Events', 'Post Type Singular Name'),
    'menu_name' => __('Events'),
    'parent_item_colon' => __('Events:'),
    'all_items' => __('All Items'),
    'view_item' => __('View Item'),
    'add_new_item' => __('Add New Event'),
    'add_new' => __('Add New'),
    'edit_item' => __('Edit Item'),
    'update_item' => __('Update Item'),
    'search_items' => __('Search Item'),
    'not_found' => __('Not found'),
    'not_found_in_trash' => __('Not found in Trash'),
);
$args = array(
    'labels' => $labels,
    'supports' => array('title', 'editor', 'excerpt', 'thumbnail', 'comments', 'trackbacks', 'custom-fields',),
    'taxonomies' => array('post_tag'),
    'hierarchical' => false,
    'rewrite' => array('slug' => __('events')),
    'public' => true,
    'show_ui' => true,
    'show_in_menu' => true,
    'show_in_nav_menus' => true,
    'show_in_admin_bar' => true,
    'menu_position' => 10,
    'menu_icon' => 'dashicons-images-alt2',
    'can_export' => true,
    'has_archive' => false,
    'exclude_from_search' => false,
    'publicly_queryable' => true,
    'capability_type' => 'post',
);
register_post_type('events', $args);

And a taxonomy for custom post type Events:

// Add new "Type" taxonomy to Events
    register_taxonomy('type-events', 'event', array(
        'hierarchical' => true,
        'labels' => array(
            'name' => _x( 'Types', 'taxonomy general name', 'my_theme' ),
            'singular_name' => _x( 'Types', 'taxonomy singular name', 'my_theme' ),
            'search_items' =>  __( 'Search Type', 'my_theme' ),
            'all_items' => __( 'All Types', 'my_theme' ),
            'parent_item' => __( 'Parent Type', 'my_theme' ),
            'parent_item_colon' => __( 'Parent Type:', 'my_theme' ),
            'edit_item' => __( 'Edit Type', 'my_theme' ),
            'update_item' => __( 'Update Type', 'my_theme' ),
            'add_new_item' => __( 'Add New Type', 'my_theme' ),
            'new_item_name' => __( 'New Type', 'my_theme' ),
            'menu_name' => __( 'Types', 'my_theme' ),
        ),
        // Control the slugs used for this taxonomy
        'rewrite' => array(
            'slug' => 'type-events', 
            'with_front' => false, 
            'hierarchical' => true
        ),
    ));

In Dashboard Admin, i create two taxonomy type event :
Taxonomies

Custom post type and taxonomy use the same template.

In file template, I want check if it is post type or taxonomy.
Currently, I use is_post_type_archive() to check, but the both return true. That is not what I need.

How to check if this is custom post type or taxonomy?

  1. If you want to check if a post is the custom post type events within the loop you can use this:

    <?php if ( get_post_type() === 'events' ) { 
    /* Do Stuff */ 
} ?>

    If this is outside of the loop, you need to pass the post id into get_post_type():

    <?php if ( get_post_type( $post_id ) === 'events' ) { 
    /* Do Stuff */ 
} ?>

    Edit

    You can test for multiple custom post types this way:

    <?php if ( get_post_type() === 'events' || get_post_type() === 'promos' || get_post_type() === 'courses' ) { 
    /* Do Stuff */ 
} ?>

  2. This is little complicated, maybe the best way is to check with is_post_type_archive() and is_tax(), before you load the themplate, but in your case you may try with get_queried_object().

    Codex – get_queried_object

    The returned object will have properties taxonomy, term_id, and term_taxonomy_id if this is taxonomy.

    So maybe you can use something like get_queried_object()->taxonomy to determine if this is taxonomy and get its name and get_queried_object()->query_var for custom_post_type.

    if ( isset( get_queried_object()->taxonomy ) {
   //do taxonomy work ...
}
if ( property_exists( get_queried_object()->query_var ) {
   //post things 
}

  3. function custom_post_type() {
    $singular="Car";
    $plural="cars";  

    $labels = array(
        'name'                  => _x( $plural, 'Post Type General Name', 'text_domain' ),
        'singular_name'         => _x( $singular, 'Post Type Singular Name', 'text_domain' ),
        'menu_name'             => __( $plural, 'text_domain' ),
