News and statements: should they be post or their own CPT?
It's great to create a CPT for each type of content. It makes everything more tidy, as we don't have to deal with the specifications of posts in Wordpress.
The problem of creating a CPT for "News and statements" (as we have done for campaigns, congreseses...) is that we lose the basic features that wordpress and plugins (such as newsletter) offer by default for posts.
That's why we are thinking on changing "News and statements" to posts so we can use these basic features in the future.
All this belongs to a deep debate of using standards and defaults or customized development. Everything has its pros and cons.
We've finally decided to use posts for "News and statements".
