Description

CustomPress creates custom post types, custom taxonomies, and extra fields directly from the WordPress dashboard, without requiring code in functions.php. It is designed for those who need to structure specific content (catalogs, directories, portfolios, technical specifications, recipes) and want to model the site’s foundation without installing a separate CPT generator, keeping the configuration organized in a single native administration screen.

Key Features of CustomPress

  • Dashboard Custom Post Types
    Creates new content types with their own slug, icon, thumbnail support, and labels.
  • Custom taxonomies
    Registers specific categories and tags linked to each created post type.
  • Custom fields
    Adds text, date, image, selection, and checkbox fields to editing forms.
  • Single and archive templates
    Generates display templates for created types without editing theme files.
  • Active theme compatibility
    Works with any WordPress theme, inheriting the structure and styles of the installed template.

Benefits of CustomPress

  • Quick section structuring
    Models entire areas of the site in minutes, without relying on a developer for every new type.
  • Editor autonomy
    Allows the content manager to create and adjust types without opening the theme code.
  • Organized dashboard
    Centralizes CPTs, taxonomies, and fields in a single configuration area in the admin.
  • Scales with the project
    Supports site growth by adding new structures as demand evolves.

Who Is CustomPress Recommended For?

  • Those who publish structured content (directories, recipe cards, event listings, catalogs) outside the standard post and page model.
  • You who manage client websites and want to give the writer a simple way to register new content types without changing the code.
  • Those who already use the WPMU DEV ecosystem and want to add custom content modeling to the project stack.

How to Download CustomPress

CustomPress is available for download here at Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it in Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the file, and activate it. The configuration area for the new content types will appear in the dashboard side menu immediately after activation.

Positioned as a content modeling tool, CustomPress serves WordPress sites that go beyond the post/page pairing, organizing publications into structures specific to the project (catalogs, directories, technical specifications). For those who manage editorial portals, local listings, or themed libraries, it is the way to define the content architecture directly from the dashboard, without outsourcing every technical adjustment to the developer.
