Hello Hakim,

thanks very much for your comment

I started to think that maybe Im completely wrong with my decisision to use pages instead of post.

I want to make wordpress presentation for my “company” with some amount of products in different categories .. so I decided to make page for each product … thats why I need to have them in categories. And posts are used only for “news”.

but after your question I realized that I dont rememeber what was the main reason for my decision to NOT use posts for product pages as well ….

what do you experts here think ? can I use posts for product pages and “pages” use only for contact etc. pages ?

thank you for replys … I apreciate that really much ….

Im sorry if my questions are too stupid … but Im real newbie in wordpress.

You can use Custom Post Type, that is, create a Custom Post Type specifically for Products, with a custom taxonomy for the Product Categories. See this page for a primer on Custom Post Type:

Note that you don’t have to write the codes manually to add a custom post type and custom toxonomy. You can use plugins like the Custom Post Type UI.

Yes, that is the MUCH better way of doing it.

Hey Hakim, thanks a million!

but could you help me how to change

<?php if ( $post_type->name != 'page' || is_user_logged_in() ) : ?>

to ==’page’ in loop.php without touching your template files

action hook post_meta is after that … I was searching internet like crazy but without results

You cannot, but if you’re using custom post type, you won’t need that.
