Hi,
Easy for me to build grid / themes using shortodes.
I use this page with lot of references :

I am now building a new search result page and I would like to display the kind of content just bellow the title of the content.

So I can use :
[wpbb post:title]
But I have no idea how to display the kind of content.

I have:

  • Articles
  • Pages
  • Events (Event Calendar Pro)
  • and many different CPT built with Pods
    How to display them : -CPT1- -CPT2 -CPT3- etc.

Hope someone can help.

So you just want to display the post type label?

If Article - Page - Event - CPTName is post type label for a content, yes this is what I need to display.

Thank you

You just need to create a shortcode for it.

add_shortcode( 'get_post_type', function() {
	$result = get_post_type_object( get_post_type() );
	return $result->labels->singular_name );
});

@pross
Thanks for your answer. Really helpul !

It works well but I had to make a correction based on my editor error check.

add_shortcode( 'get_post_type', function() {
	$result = get_post_type_object( get_post_type() );
	return $result->labels->singular_name ;
});

Last question : any chance to make this post type label a link to all other content of this kind ?
