Important concept
When you click Generate, Zelvigo saves the definition in your WordPress database (plugin options). The code is not automatically executed on your site.
What gets stored
- Form configuration (keys, labels, options)
- Generated PHP code string
- Generated JSON (settings pages)
- Timestamp and metadata
Registry options
Separate options per type: CPTs, taxonomies, shortcodes, settings pages, plugin packages.
How code goes live
- Copy/paste — add PHP to a plugin or theme you control
- ZIP export — install the generated plugin package on any site
Why this design?
Keeps your development site safe — generating a CPT does not suddenly register it on a production-like staging site until you deliberately deploy the code.
Deleting entries
Delete removes the Zelvigo registry record only. Code already pasted into another plugin is unaffected.
