# Post types

This configuration contains parameters that HivePress uses for registering the custom post types. Each post type is defined as an array of parameters accepted by the [register\_post\_type](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/register_post_type/) function. The array key is used as the post type name (prefixed with `hp_`).

The code example below changes the listing URL slug and the vendor icon in the WordPress dashboard menu. In the same way, you can customize any of the available post types or register a new one by adding an array with the post type parameters.

```php
add_filter(
	'hivepress/v1/post_types',
	function( $post_types ) {

		// Change listing URL slug.
		$post_types['listing']['rewrite']['slug'] = 'custom-slug';

		// Change vendor menu icon.
		$post_types['vendor']['menu_icon'] = 'dashicons-building';

		return $post_types;
	}
);
```
