## Description

All custom types must currently be created in code since this was the easiest way
to create it. The plugin ties in to the standard HTML and Image fields functionality
within WordPress. Select boxes, checkboxes and
 standard text fields can also be
created.

By having content in the code, you can do things like create dropdowns of other 
content easily, as well as make migration between environments easier (example code
is supplied).

## Installation

1) Upload the plugin to ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory 2) Activate the plugin 
through the plugins
 3) Move the file “sample-types.php” to your active theme directory
4) Update the file with any custom types you want to create

You will still need to create templates to go with your custom types: https://codex.
