🌲 Hello PG Community Members! 🌲

Per the [WordPress documentation](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/register_post_type/) on the `register_post_type()` function, there are several attributes that can be used with the function.

I’m specifically interested in using the `template` and `template_lock` parameters, whereby I can dictate exactly which custom WP Blocks are used for specific post type(s).

Can I add these parameters to the `register_post_type()` function within Pinegrow? If so, how?

If not, how would some of the WP pros here recommend achieving this? Do I need to wait until I’m finished using PG, then add the custom PHP in production?

NOTE: I am exporting as a PLUGIN, not as a theme within Pinegrow.

Hi @iamrobbie, at the moment it is not possible to add extra fields.

The easiest and most flexible workaround is to generate `register_post_type` code with [https://generatewp.com/post-type/](https://generatewp.com/post-type/) and then add that code into `inc/custom.php` instead of using the Register Post Type action.

Thanks for the tip, @matjaz!
