Overview

About this plugin

MB Custom Post Types & Custom Taxonomies lets you register and edit custom post types and custom taxonomies in WordPress through an easy-to-use UI in the admin area. No coding required.

The plugin lets you control all post type arguments and taxonomy arguments, such as menu labels, admin bar label, exclude from search, disable archive page, and more, in minutes. You no longer need to write custom PHP code to register custom post types (using the functions register_post_type() and register_taxonomy() ).

Meta Box Lite

We recommend using Meta Box Lite, a free UI version of Meta Box. It provides UI and all free features for managing custom fields and dynamic content on WordPress, including post types, taxonomies, custom fields, and relationships.

With MB Custom Post Types & Custom Taxonomies, you can turn the WordPress admin into a professional CMS (content management system).

Why use MB Custom Post Types & Custom Taxonomies?

Custom post types and custom taxonomies are the foundation of a modern WordPress website. They let you organize content beyond posts and pages, such as Products, Movies, Team Members, Testimonials, and Events. Writing register_post_type() and register_taxonomy() code for each one takes time and causes errors.

This plugin removes all the PHP coding. You do everything through a clean, intuitive UI in the WordPress admin:

  • Create and manage post types & taxonomies visually – no PHP knowledge required.
  • Save time with live editing mode – the plugin generates labels automatically from the singular and plural names you enter.
  • Control every argument – every setting from register_post_type() and register_taxonomy() is available, from menu position and icons to capabilities and REST API support.
  • Export & import – move your post types and taxonomies between sites with one click, or export them as PHP code to embed in your theme or plugin.
  • For developers and non-developers alike – from clients who want a professional CMS to developers who want full control.

Features

  • Supports all arguments for creating custom post types (like register_post_type() )
  • Supports all arguments for creating custom taxonomies (like register_taxonomy() )
  • Live editing mode – the plugin fills in all labels for you from the singular and plural names
  • Reorder posts and terms – drag and drop to reorder posts (including hierarchical/parent-child) and taxonomy terms
  • Custom icons – pick from Dashicons, Font Awesome, or use your own SVG/custom URL
  • Abilities API support – manage AI agents and let them create, read, update, and delete post types, taxonomies, posts, and terms programmatically
  • Export and import – move your post types and taxonomies between sites, export them as PHP code to copy into your theme or plugin, or import from Custom Post Type UI
  • Clean code
