## Description

This plugin adds a place to enter a description for your custom post types which
you can display anywhere in your theme.

## Installation

 1. Upload the ”cpt-descriptions`folder to the`/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the CPT Descriptions plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Use the_cpt_description() or get_cpt_description() to display/use the custom post
    type description in your theme

## FAQ

  How do I display a/the custom post type description?

You can use the function the_cpt_description() to echo the current custom post type
description or you can use get_cpt_description() to return the description for use
in code.

If you are not on an archive/single custom post type template you can pass the post
type variable to either function (eg. the_cpt_description(‘books’)) to get the description
for that post type.
