Goal

Create a new WordPress plugin from zero using only Zelvigo generators → no manual boilerplate.

Step 1 → Plan your plugin

Decide: custom post type(s), taxonomies, shortcodes, settings pages.

Step 2 → Generate modules

1. Create CPT → define your post type
2. Create Taxonomy → link to your CPT key
3. Create Shortcode → if needed for front-end output
4. Create Settings Page → if your plugin needs admin options

Step 3 → Create plugin package

1. Go to Create Plugin Package.
2. Enter plugin name, slug, author, text domain, version.
3. Select all generated modules.
4. Click Generate ZIP Package and download.

Step 4 → Install and test

1. Upload ZIP via Plugins → Add New.
2. Activate and verify CPT, taxonomy, settings, and shortcodes work.

Tip

Generate the CPT before the taxonomy so the post type key is available → or use the unregistered post type confirmation when building in advance.
