Post Types in Wordpress

In the Treehouse video Zac mentions Custom Post Types ("Slideshows" and "Destinations"). My Wordpress does not show these types. How can I add them in?

Hi, this video is showing an example of what Custom Post types look like when they already exist on a WordPress site. If you are looking for help adding Custom Post types to your own site, check out the course How to Build a Website with WordPress, specifically the section on Custom Post Types :)

Since this course is intended for website owners looking to be able to manage their site content, we don't get into how to add custom post types themselves.
