Question

I’m creating a custom post type for my wordpress site. But I want to remove the editor an put a field for uploading files. How do I do that?

Answer 1

I would suggest using the plugin “Advance Custom Fields” which is such a time-saver, awesome plugin, one of few plugins I use for all my WP-projects. It’s easy and slick.

If you really don’t want to use a plugin you can read the documentation here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_meta_box

It has examples on how to add a metabox with custom fields to your post type.

add_meta_box( $id, $title, $callback, $post_type, $context, $priority, $callback_args );

Where $post_type is the slug-name of your post-type.

Edit:
To remove elements like the WSIWYG-editor, you need to specify this when creating the post-type. The “supports” array takes in strings with what you want the post-type to be able to handle.
