Testimonials, Team, Benefits, Logos

Besides three main custom post types (“Slideshows”, “Media Albums” and “Portfolio”), there are four additional ones: “Benefits”, “Team”, “Testimonials” and “Partners, Clients, etc.”. Two of them – “Benefits” and “Partners, Clients” – are a legacy feature and are deactivated by default in The7 -> My The7. The reason is simple – such elements can be easily built with help of WPBakery builder.

These post types are based on the same principals as the main ones, but are simpler. Make sure that you are accustomed with “Slideshows“, “Media Albums” and “Portfolio” before embarking additional post types.
