How would you architect this site?

  • I have a custom website that I’d like to move to WordPress because it’s basically a photoblog. You can see it at TrailDamage.com or I can describe how it’s organized here. How would you do this in WordPress?

    – trail information page
    —– report information page
    ——— 10 to 150 images

    Each trail information page has about 25 data points associated with it, such as nearby towns (not used for sorting/filtering) and relative number of water crossings (used for sorting/filtering trails).

    The report information pages are pretty straightforward blog posts.

    I think I can use categories to associate each report with trails (each report only has one trail association, and each trail can have many reports). Is that how you’d do it?

    I’m pretty stumped on the trail information pages and how to do them in WordPress. Thanks so much for your help with this — any ideas are more than welcome.

    I think you should use labels instead.

    I hadn’t heard of Labels so I did some Googling. It looks like they’re for administrators, which is partially what I need. But then I also stumbled on Custom Post Types (https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-create-custom-post-types-in-wordpress/) and that seems like a good idea. I think I’ll play with that a bit. Thanks!
