Description

Custom Post Type Maker is the perfect plugin to create Custom Post Types and custom Taxonomies in a user friendly way, just like managing your regular posts and pages.

Originally by Bakhuys.

Features

  • Fully integrates with the WordPress API, for the best compatibility
  • Lets you create Custom Post Types and custom Taxonomies without the need of writing any code
  • Provides an interface to manage your Custom Post Types, just like managing your regular posts and pages
  • Provides almost all the parameters of the WordPress CPT API
  • Shows you a list of all other registered Custom Post Types and custom Taxonomies in WordPress
  • Uses the WordPress Media Uploader or Dash Icons (Native WordPress Icons) to let you manage the Custom Post Type icon

Additional configuration

You can add CPTM_DONT_GENERATE_ICON in wp-config.php to prevent CPTM to generate the 16x16px WordPress image_size. You can do this after you upload an initial icon.
We’ve added this option because some users have very large image galleries and the additional WordPress image_size matters.

  1. Upload ‘custom-post-type-maker’ to the ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
  3. Click the new menu item ‘Post Types’ to create a Custom Post Type or a custom Taxonomy.

Awesome companion plugin for Oxygen Builder

By infusednl on July 15, 2020

Must-have plug-in for creating custom post types and custom taxonomies! I use it on almost every project in combination with Oxygen Builder and it just works flawless. Keep up the good work!

Great

Well, this just worked. 🙂 Couldn't be happier. Everything shows up correctly, things are rolling along - my project advances. I'd pay for a pro version - but please, make a perpetual license (make it pricy enough to cover ~4 years of yearly licenses so you'll have yourself covered), if you enter the premium-plugin market! - JP

Simply Powerful

Been using this plugin for a while and it works like a charm. Not bloated with ads or other crap and does its job! Thank you!

Plugin does its job, support is excellent

I've used a couple of CPT plugins and this one works well, is simple to use, and doesn't conflict with any of the (many) other plugins I'm using. Best of all when I discovered a problem, I got excellent support from the author with a new update fixing the issue immediately.

lightweight with useful features

i particularly liked the display of post types and taxonomies registered by a third party. It's straight to the point and effective.
