Custom Post Type Generator

How to use

1. Enter the post type key and its singular and plural names.
2. Pick the features it supports and whether it has an archive and appears in the block editor.
3. Copy the code into a small plugin (recommended) or your theme’s functions.php, then save Settings → Permalinks once.

What this tool does

It outputs a function hooked to init that registers your post type with a complete set of labels wrapped in translation functions. The key is validated against WordPress rules (20 characters, lowercase letters, numbers, dashes and underscores).

Why it matters

Custom post types keep different kinds of content, such as portfolio items or tools, separate from posts and pages, with their own URLs, archives and admin screens.

Tips

• Register post types in a plugin so the content does not disappear when you change themes.
• Enable show_in_rest to use the block editor and the REST API.
• Avoid reserved keys such as post, page, attachment, revision or action.
