Do I have to do this if I did the 1click install?

Hey guys I downloaded filezilla and I'm following along. I created the custom post types but do I have to do the manual install of the custom posts through filezilla if I did the one click install? just checking thanks

1-click install doesn't set up custom post types. So yes, you would either need to FTP your functions.php file to the correct location with your custom post type code if you did it the manual way, or download and set up the CPT UI plugin which offers a GUI way to set up custom post types.

Thanks Kevin! But I'm still a little lost. I installed the CPT UI and created custom post types. But in the next video of the course (How to make a website with wordpress) Zack goes into filezilla to work with the custom file types and I don't really understand whats he doing there because I thought that with the plug-in I just had to create the CPT and I could use it in my site...
