## Description
**Dynamic CPT Generator** is a free, lightweight plugin that lets you create as
many custom post types as you need, directly from a simple settings screen — no
code, no config files, no developer required.
Every custom post type you create comes with its own shortcode, ready to drop into
any post, page, or widget to display your content in a polished **List**, **Grid**,
or **Carousel** layout.
#### Why use Dynamic CPT Generator?
* **One-click creation** — type a name, pick a layout, click Create. Your custom
post type is registered instantly, complete with its own admin menu, categories,
and tags.
* **Custom Field Builder** — add your own Text, Textarea, Number, URL, or Image
fields to any custom post type, no code required. Fields show up as a metabox
on the edit screen and automatically appear in the frontend display.
* **Three built-in display layouts** — List, Grid, and a touch-friendly Carousel(
powered by Slick Slider), switchable at any time without touching code.
* **Shortcode-based output** — `[dcptg_display_dynamic_cpt type="yourchosenname"]`
works anywhere shortcodes are supported, with optional `posts_per_page`, `orderby`,`
order`, and `category` attributes.
* **Gutenberg block** — add a « Dynamic CPT Display » block from the block inserter
and configure it visually, no shortcode typing required.
* **Built-in pagination** — set `posts_per_page` and visitors get automatic page-
number navigation instead of one long list.
* **Built-in Read More toggle** — visitors can expand full content inline without
leaving the page.
* **Categories & tags support** — every generated post type supports standard taxonomies
out of the box.
* **Lightweight & conditional loading** — styles and scripts only load on pages
that actually use the shortcode or block, keeping your site fast.
* **Safe cleanup** — manage or permanently delete a custom post type (and its posts)
right from the settings screen.
#### Common use cases
Dynamic CPT Generator is a popular choice for building:
* Portfolios and project showcases
* Team member / staff directories
* Testimonials and reviews
* Products or services listings
* Events and announcements
* FAQs, case studies, and resource libraries
Use this shortcode anywhere on your site to display a custom post type:
```
[dcptg_display_dynamic_cpt type="yourchosenname"]
```
Or filter and paginate the results:
```
[dcptg_display_dynamic_cpt type="yourchosenname" posts_per_page="6" category="news" order="ASC"]
```
#### Customizing the design
Every layout is built from plain, documented CSS classes, so you can restyle the
output to match your site by adding CSS in **Appearance > Customize > Additional
CSS** (or your theme’s stylesheet) — no plugin files need editing, and your changes
survive plugin updates.
Container classes (one per layout, added to the shortcode/block wrapper):
* `.dcp-cpt-list` — List layout
* `.dcp-cpt-grid` — Grid layout
* `.dcp-cpt-carousel` — Carousel layout
Classes inside every item, regardless of layout:
* `.dcp-cpt-item` — the card/row wrapper for a single post
* `.dcp-cpt-item img` — the featured image (`.dcp-no-image` is added when a post
has no featured image)
* `.dcp-excerpt` — the excerpt text
* `.dcp-full-content` — the full content revealed by « Read More »
* `.dcp-read-more` — the Read More / Show Less toggle link
* `.dcp-cpt-fields` — the list of custom field values (if the post type has any)
* `.dcp-cpt-pagination` — the pagination links (shown when `posts_per_page` is
set)
Example — make grid cards use your brand color for the Read More button:
```
.dcp-cpt-grid .dcp-read-more { background: #111 !important; }
```
#### Building your own layout (Custom)
Need full control over the markup instead of just CSS? Pick **Custom** as the layout
for any post type, then open « Custom Template » in the settings screen and write
your own HTML using these placeholders — no PHP required:
* `{title}`, `{permalink}`, `{excerpt}`, `{content}` — the post’s own data
* `{image}` — a ready-to-use `![]()
` tag (or the built-in placeholder if there’s
no featured image); `{image_url}` gives you just the URL if you want to build
your own `![]()
` tag
* `{categories}`, `{tags}` — linked term lists
* `{fields}` — every custom field for this post type, pre-formatted as a list
* `{field:key}` — a single custom field’s value on its own (replace `key` with
the field’s name, lowercased)
Example template:
```
{image}
{title}
{excerpt}
{field:price}
