Plugin Name: Testimonials Custom Post Type
Plugin URI: http://wpbeaches.com/create-custom-post-types-in-genesis-child-theme-in-wordpress/

This code is a plugin to create a Custom Post Type in WordPress, it can be used with any WordPress theme.
The action initialises the function below it.
This example uses the term 'Testimonials' as its name, a search and replace will allow any name to be used, making sure plural and singular versions of the name are replaced.
Also replace the name in 'rewrite' and in the 'register_post_type' function.
To activate this as a plugin just add to wp-contents/plugins and activate in Dashboard
This doesn't use all the labels and arguments possible but includes the main ones, you can see more here - https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type
