WordPress CPT Generator
Zelvigo WordPress CPT Generator helps developers generate Custom Post Types in WordPress without writing boilerplate PHP code. Whether you’re creating portfolios, testimonials, products, or custom content, our generator produces clean, production-ready code in seconds.
Create production-ready custom post type code in minutes — without rewriting register_post_type() from scratch every time.
Built for WordPress plugin developers, freelancers, and agencies who need clean, standards-compliant CPT registration code they can copy into a plugin or export as part of a full ZIP package.
Stop rewriting the same CPT boilerplate
Every new plugin starts the same way: labels, args, public flags, REST support, archives, hierarchical options — then you dig through docs again to remember which argument does what.
That repetitive work slows freelancers and teams down. The Zelvigo CPT Generator turns a short form into ready-to-use PHP you can paste into your plugin or bundle with taxonomies, shortcodes, and settings.
What you can generate
- Post type key with validation (reserved keys and duplicates blocked)
- Singular & plural labels for admin menus and UI
- Public / hierarchical options (posts-like or pages-like)
- Show in REST API for the block editor and headless setups
- Has archive for post type archive URLs
- Copy PHP straight from the list screen into your plugin
How it works
- Open Zelvigo Dev Studio → Create CPT
- Enter the post type key, labels, and options
- Click Generate to get standards-compliant PHP
- Copy the code into your plugin — or include it in a Plugin Boilerplate ZIP
Generated definitions are stored in Zelvigo for reuse. They are not auto-registered on your site until you paste or install the exported code — so your staging environment stays under your control.
Who it’s for
- Plugin developers shipping custom content types
- Freelancers building client sites with books, events, products, portfolios, and more
- Agencies that want consistent CPT code across projects
- Teams who already use Zelvigo for taxonomies, settings, and full plugin packages

Frequently asked questions
Does generating a CPT register it on my live site?
No. Zelvigo saves the definition and PHP so you can copy or export it. Registration only happens when you paste the code into a plugin or install a generated ZIP.
Is the code WordPress standards friendly?
Yes. Cloud generators return production-oriented PHP designed for use in real plugins — not throwaway snippets.
Can I use this with taxonomies and a full plugin package?
Yes. Generate your CPT, add taxonomies and other modules, then use the Plugin Boilerplate to download one ZIP with everything included.
What do I need to use the CPT Generator?
WordPress 6.5+, PHP 8.0+, and an active Zelvigo Dev Studio Pro license for cloud generators.
