Great Lesson @westnz ,

• In the video, I noticed mentions of Members ( time 1:24 ) and WPForms ( time 4.14 ) in the admin side. This feels like an advertisement for the Members and WPForms plugins.

The clarity and word choice of your explanations are excellent. Here are 2 that I really like: 2:01 - "It's good practice to rename this to something more relevant to your content." 2:52 - Tags: "... allowing for more precise content categorization."

Might be confusing, since categories and posts can only be used for posts (and not pages): 3:18 - "Creating custom post types is an excellent way to create content types beyond posts or pages."

Great deep dive, @westnz!

The only thing I'd add is a mention/explanation of the Description field, which can be displayed in archive page templates using the Term Description block. It feels a bit awkward to ignore it :-)

[westnz]

Thank you so much @ironnysh I will add that 😉
