    Hi, I’m trying to create a plugin for “Track” custom post type. Here’s my code: 

    
<?php
/**
 * Plugin Name:    My Plugin Name
 * Plugin URI:        https://mydomain.com
 * Description:       Handle the basics with this plugin.
 * Version:           1.0.0
 * Author:            Ajayi Olamide
 * Author URI:        https://author.example.com/

function track_post_type() {

// Set UI labels for Custom Post Type
    $labels = array(
        'name'                => _x( 'Tracks', 'Post Type General Name', 'irecore' ),
        'singular_name'       => _x( 'Track', 'Post Type Singular Name', 'irecore' ),
        'menu_name'           => __( 'Tracks', 'irecore' ),
        'parent_item_colon'   => __( 'Parent Tracks', 'irecore' ),
        'all_items'           => __( 'All Tracks', 'irecore' ),
        'view_item'           => __( 'View Track', 'irecore' ),
        'add_new_item'        => __( 'Add New Track', 'irecore' ),
        'add_new'             => __( 'Add New', 'irecore' ),
        'edit_item'           => __( 'Edit Track', 'irecore' ),
        'update_item'         => __( 'Update Track', 'irecore' ),
        'search_items'        => __( 'Search Track', 'irecore' ),
        'not_found'           => __( 'Not Track Found', 'irecore' ),
        'not_found_in_trash'  => __( 'Not found in Trash', 'irecore' ),
    );

// Set other options for Custom Post Type

    $args = array(
        'label'               => __( 'single-tracks', 'irecore' ),
        'description'         => __( 'Track news and reviews', 'irecore' ),
        'labels'              => $labels,
        // Features this CPT supports in Post Editor
        'supports'            => array( 'title', 'editor', 'excerpt', 'author', 'thumbnail', 'comments', 'revisions', 'custom-fields', ),
        // You can associate this CPT with a taxonomy or custom taxonomy.
        'taxonomies'          => array( 'genres' ),
        /* A hierarchical CPT is like Pages and can have
        * Parent and child items. A non-hierarchical CPT
        * is like Posts.
        */
        'hierarchical'        => true,
        'public'              => true,
        'show_ui'             => true,
        'show_in_menu'        => true,
        'show_in_nav_menus'   => true,
        'show_in_admin_bar'   => true,
        'menu_position'       => 5,
        'can_export'          => true,
        'has_archive'         => true,
        'exclude_from_search' => false,
        'publicly_queryable'  => true,
      	'slug'				  => 'tracks',
        'capability_type'     => 'tracks',
      	'menu_icon'			  => 'dashicons-music',
    );

    // Registering your Custom Post Type
    register_post_type( 'tracks', $args );

}

/* Hook into the 'init' action so that the function
* Containing our post type registration is not
* unnecessarily executed.
*/

 add_action( 'init', 'track_post_type', 0 );

    The problem however is this plugin is activated but I can’t find the Custom Post Type on admin menu. Please is something wrong with the code? Thanks for your help.

    Hi there!

    You won’t be able to add this code on WordPress.com:

    Add Code to Your Site

    You may want to create a self-hosted site to try things like that.
    To clear up any further confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities.

    We, WordPress.com are a cloud-based platform where we manage WordPress sites, whereas WordPress.org is a stand-alone software that you can download and self-host with any other hosting.

    You can find more details about WordPress.com and WordPress.org on this support page:

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

    For help and suggestions with your code, I’d recommend posting to the community forums here: https://wordpress.org/support/forums/
