### Parameters

| Parameter      | Type    | Required | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
| -------------- | ------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `post_name`    | string  | Required | The post type slug                                                                                                                                                                                               |
| `delete_posts` | boolean | Optional | Accepted for future use, but currently has no effect — this call never deletes the type's posts, regardless of the value passed. Cascade-deleting posts is instead governed by a separate, global plugin setting |

| Type   | Description                           |
| ------ | ------------------------------------- |
| `bool` | `true` on success, `false` on failure |
