Enable the Movies post section

In the case of Movies only, you have the option of using the default WordPress 'Posts' instead of a new custom post type. This is useful if you already have your Posts set up as the movie content area of your site, and you do not want to move/import these to the new Movie section. In this case, you want to change the setting from 'Yes' to 'No'.

• Yes, use a "Movies" post section (custom post type)

The default option. This creates a new 'Movies' custom post section type where you will create your movie posts.

• No, use Posts but change the "Posts" menu label to "Movies"
• No, use Posts and leave them as they are

If you choose 'No' you then also have the option of renaming the default WP posts into 'Movies' or leaving them as is (‘Posts’).

• None of the above, I only want to use Movies with shortcodes (or not at all)

This option disables the 'Movies' custom post type section. Choose this option if you only want to use 'Movies' via the shortcodes, or if you dont't want to use them at all.

Enable the Tv Show post section

• Yes, use a "TvShows" post section (custom post type)

The default option. This creates a new 'Tv Shows' custom post section type where you will create your tv show posts.

• No. I only want to use TvShows with shortcodes (or not at all)

This option disables the 'Tv Shows' custom post type section. Choose this option if you only want to use 'Tv Shows' via the shortcodes, or if you don't want to use them at all.

Enable the People post section

• Yes, use a "Persons" post section (custom post type)

The default option. This creates a new 'Persons' custom post section type where you will create your person posts.

• No. I only want to use Persons with shortcodes (or not at all)

This option disables the 'Persons' custom post type section. Choose this option if you only want to use 'Persons' via the shortcodes, or if you dont't want to use them at all.
