`benecaster_register_field_cpt()`

Utilities Free

benecaster_register_field_cpt( string $cpt_slug, string $label ): void

Opens your own post type up to Benecaster’s field groups, so podcasters can attach custom fields to it the same way they do to episodes.

Call it on benecaster_boot. Earlier than that and Benecaster is not ready to hear it.

What you get for one line. Your post type appears in the “Attached to” dropdown in Benecaster → Fields; podcasters build groups against it without you writing an editor; the REST endpoints that read and write field values accept it; and benecaster_field_groups fires for it, so groups can be injected programmatically exactly as they can for episodes. Benecaster registers benecaster_episode this way — your post type is not a second-class citizen.

Registering the same slug twice replaces the label rather than erroring. That is deliberate: it lets a parent plugin set a default that an add-on can override.

Parameters

Name	Type	Default	Required	Description
`$cpt_slug`	`string`	—	Yes	Your registered post type slug — e.g. `'benecaster_guest'`.
`$label`	`string`	—	Yes	What a podcaster should see in the "Attached to" dropdown — e.g. `'Guest'`. Translate it; this is human-facing.

Return Value

Type: void

Nothing.

Example

add_action( 'benecaster_boot', function (): void {
    benecaster_register_field_cpt(
        'benecaster_guest',
        __( 'Guest', 'benecaster-guest-manager' )
    );
} );
