Description
Flex Content Types is part of the FLEX plugin suite from FLEX LLC (https://flexible.am/). It registers custom post types and taxonomies from a Flex admin UI so you can add portfolios, events, FAQs, and similar content without a snippet plugin.
- Custom post types with labels, supports, archives, REST/Gutenberg, rewrite, and Dashicon menus
- Custom taxonomies (category-style or tags) attached to any post type
- Starter templates for common site types
- Duplicate, enable/disable, and bulk actions
- JSON import/export and PHP code export
- Automatic permalink flush after save
- At a Glance counts on the dashboard
- WP-CLI list and export commands
Admin CSS and JavaScript ship with the plugin. No remote stylesheets, no telemetry, no calls home.
Privacy
Flex Content Types does not send data to FLEX or any third-party service. Definitions are stored in the WordPress options table on your site.
Limitations
- This is not a custom fields plugin. Use Flex Fields (or similar) for extra meta boxes.
- Changing a slug after save is not supported; duplicate the definition if you need a new key.
- Deleting a definition does not delete posts or terms.
Installation
- Upload the
flex-content-typesfolder to/wp-content/plugins/, or install the zip via Plugins Add New Upload Plugin. - Activate Flex Content Types.
- Go to Flex Content Types Post Types and add a type or pick a template.
- Optional: add a taxonomy and attach it to the new type.
FAQ
-
Who can manage types?
-
Administrators (
manage_options). After a type is registered, the usual WordPress capabilities apply to its posts. -
Will Gutenberg work?
-
Yes, if Show in REST API / block editor is on (the default).
-
What happens when I disable or delete a type?
-
Disable unregisters it but keeps the definition and all content. Delete removes only the definition. Posts and terms stay in the database.
-
What happens when I uninstall?
-
By default the plugin removes its settings and definitions. It never deletes posts or terms. You can keep definitions in Settings.
-
Can I move types to PHP later?
-
Yes. Tools Get PHP copies
register_post_type/register_taxonomycode. Disable or delete the matching definition here so it is not registered twice.
