ACF JSON export is a bonus when ACF is active. ### Usage Guide **Getting Started in 5 Minutes:** 1. Activate the plugin 2. Go to TypeForge CPT Builder in admin menu 3. Create your first custom post type (e.g., « Portfolio ») 4. Add a taxonomy (e.g., « Portfolio Category ») 5. Add custom meta fields (e.g., « Project URL », « Client Name ») 6. View live meta box in post editor 7. Export PHP code for production use #### Dashboard The dashboard provides a quick overview of your content structures: – **Post Types Count** – All registered custom post types – **Taxonomies Count** – All registered taxonomies – **Meta Fields Count** – All configured meta fields – **REST Enabled**– Count of REST-enabled structures Use quick action buttons to create new structures, generate code, or manage configurations. #### Custom Post Types **Configuration Fields:** – **Singular Name** – Grammatically correct singular label (e.g., « Portfolio Item ») – **Plural Name** – Plural form (e.g., « Portfolio Items ») – **Slug** – URL-safe identifier, no spaces or special chars (e.g., « portfolio»)–** Menu Icon** – Choose from 300+ Dashicons – **Menu Position** – Order in admin menu( 5-100) – **Description** – Helpful text for admin users – **Supports** – Editor features (title, editor, thumbnail, etc.) – **Public** – Visible on frontend (affects archive, search, REST) – **Hierarchical** – Enable parent/child relationships – ** Archive** – Show post type archive page – **REST Support** – Enable REST API endpoints **Tips:** – Archives need « Hierarchical » off and « Archive » enabled – Public CPTs require « Show UI » and « Public » both enabled – Change slug-related settings before publishing content – REST support is recommended for headless/block editor usage **Example: Portfolio Post Type** `Singular: Portfolio Item Plural: Portfolio Items Slug: portfolio Menu Icon: dashicons-images-alt Supports: title, editor, thumbnail Public: Yes Archive: Yes REST: Yes #### Custom Taxonomies **Configuration Fields:** – **Name** – Taxonomy display label (e.g., « Project Categories ») – **Singular** – Singular form (e.g., « Category ») – **Slug** – URL identifier (e.g., « portfolio-category ») – **Hierarchical** – Enable parent/child like categories (vs tags) – **Post Types** – Assign to one or more CPTs – **Show in REST** – Enable REST API support – **Rewrite** – Update URL structure after creation **Tips:** – Hierarchical taxonomies work like categories (parent/child) – Flat taxonomies work like tags (no hierarchy) – Assign to multiple post types for shared taxonomy – Visit Settings > Permalinks after slug changes **Example: Portfolio Tags Taxonomy** `Name: Project Tags Singular: Tag Slug: portfolio- tag Hierarchical: No (flat like tags) Post Types: portfolio (check) Show in REST: Yes #### Meta Fields **Field Types Supported:** – **Text** – Single-line text input – **Textarea** – Multi-line text editor – **Number** – Numeric input with validation – **Email** – Email field with validation – **URL** – URL field with validation – **Checkbox**– Boolean true/false – **Radio** – Single select from options – **Select** – Dropdown selector – **Date** – Date picker field – **Time** – Time picker field – **Image**– Media library image uploader – **File** – Media library file uploader – **Flexible Content** – Repeatable layout blocks (new!) **Configuration:** – **Post Type** – Which CPT this field applies to – **Label**– User-friendly field name – **Meta Key** – Internal database key (underscore-prefixed recommended) – **Type** – Choose from 13 field types – **Options** – For select/ radio (one per line) – **Default Value** – Pre-fill when creating posts – **Placeholder**– Example text in input – **Description** – Helper text below field – **Required**– Mark field as mandatory – **Show in REST** – Expose to API **Tips:** – Use meta keys like `_portfolio_client` (underscore prefix hides from custom fields) – Required fields work with JavaScript validation – Flexible content is perfect for modular content blocks – REST-enabled fields auto-register with proper schema **Example: Portfolio Meta Fields** `1. Client Name (text) - _client_name - Required: Yes 2. Project URL (url) - _project_url - Required: No 3. Project Budget (number)- _project_budget - Show in REST: Yes 4. Case Study (flexible_content) - _case_study #### Code Generator The Code Generator creates production-ready PHP snippets. Perfect for: – Version control integration – Continuous deployment pipelines – Moving from staging to production– Sharing configurations across teams – Local development workflows **Generated Code Includes:** – CPT registration with all options – Taxonomy registration with assignments – Meta field registration with schema – REST endpoint examples – Proper capability checks – Inline documentation **Quick Generate Feature:** Simply enter a name and TypeForge auto-generates slug, singular/plural forms: – « Event » slug: event, singular: Event, plural: Events–« Author » slug: author, singular: Author, plural: Authors – « Testimonial » slug: testimonial, singular: Testimonial, plural: Testimonials **Export Options:** – Copy code to clipboard (Ctrl+C ready) – Download as .php file for version control – ACF-compatible JSON (when ACF is active) #### Import / Export **Use Cases:** – Backup configurations – Transfer between environments (local staging production) – Share configurations with team members – Version control content structures – Disaster recovery **Workflow:** 1. Go to Import/Export page 2. Click « Export JSON » to download current configuration 3. On another site, click « Import JSON » and select the file 4. Review configuration preview 5.

No. TypeForge is completely independent and works standalone. Advanced Custom Fields integration is optional – ACF JSON export appears only when ACF is active. ### Is TypeForge lightweight? Yes. TypeForge uses minimal PHP, includes zero JavaScript frameworks, and lazy-loads CSS/JS only on plugin pages. Configuration is cached to reduce database queries. Perfect for performance-focused sites. ### Does uninstall remove my data? No, not by default. Plugin configuration stays in the database even after uninstall. Enable « Delete Data On Uninstall » in Settings only if you want automatic cleanup. ### Can I export generated PHP code? Yes. Code Generator provides copy and download options for production-ready PHP snippets. Export includes proper registration, sanitization, and capability checks. ### Are REST endpoints generated automatically? Yes. Enable « Show in REST » on CPTs and meta fields to automatically register REST endpoints. TypeForge includes permission callbacks for all routes. ### Can I move configurations between sites? Yes. Use Export/Import JSON to move full configurations between local, staging, and production sites. Perfect for multi-environment workflows. ### What if I have configuration conflicts? TypeForge uses WordPress options API with automatic conflict detection. Similar slugs are prevented by the UI.
