UCSC Science/PBSci Custom Functionality

UC Santa Cruz | Science WordPress Core Functionality Plugin

• general.php -- for any general functions you would write

• post-types.php -- for registering custom post types

• shortcodes.php -- for writing custom shortcodes

• taxonomies.php -- for custom taxonomies
