Zelvigo Dev Studio is a complete WordPress development workspace. **Lite gives you four essential tools for free**, runs entirely on your site with no API calls, and is the starting point for a growing platform of code generators, inspection tools, and AI-assisted development features. #### Why developers install Zelvigo Dev Studio Lite * **Create custom post type (CPT) code in minutes** — labels, slugs, REST API support, archives, hierarchical options, menu icons, and more * **Generate taxonomy registration code** — link taxonomies to any post type, set hierarchy, REST endpoints, and admin columns * **Inspect hooks on your live site** — browse registered actions and filters without digging through code * **Read debug.log from wp-admin** — no FTP or file manager required * **100% local and private** — Lite does not phone home or send site data anywhere Whether you search for **CPT**, **custom post type**, **taxonomy**, or **WordPress code generator**, Zelvigo Dev Studio Lite is built to be the tool you reach for first. #### Free tools included in Lite **CPT Generator (Custom Post Type Generator)** Fill in a visual form and get production-ready `register_post_type()` PHP. Configure singular and plural labels, post type key, public visibility, menu position, REST API support, has_archive, hierarchical mode, supported features, and more — then copy the code into your theme or plugin. **Taxonomy Generator** Build clean `register_taxonomy()` code for categories, tags, genres, or any custom taxonomy. Link to one or more post types, set hierarchical vs flat structure, REST API options, rewrite rules, and admin UI settings — ready to paste. **Hook Explorer** Browse registered WordPress hooks and callbacks on your site. Find which plugin or theme attached a function to an action or filter — essential for debugging and learning how WordPress loads. **Debug Log Viewer** View your WordPress `debug.log` file directly inside the admin dashboard. Read-only, fast, and convenient when you do not have FTP or SSH access. #### How Lite generation works Generated CPT and taxonomy code appears in a dark code preview panel for **copy and paste**. Lite does **not**: * Register post types or taxonomies on your site automatically * Create downloadable plugin ZIP files * Connect to an external API or cloud service * Store or transmit your site data Everything runs locally in your WordPress installation. You stay in full control of where the code goes. #### Zelvigo Dev Studio Pro — unlock the full developer workspace Lite is the free entry point. **[Zelvigo Dev Studio Pro](https://zelvigo.com/pricing/)** unlocks cloud-powered generators, live registration, plugin packaging, and advanced developer tools: **Pro code generators** * **Shortcode Generator** — build shortcodes with attributes and output templates * **Settings API Generator** — create WordPress settings pages with fields, sections, and sanitization * **Plugin Boilerplate Generator** — scaffold a full plugin structure and download a ready-to-install ZIP * **REST API Generator** — scaffold custom REST routes and controllers * **Admin Page Generator** — build admin screens faster _(coming in Pro roadmap)_ **Pro developer tools** * **Plugin Conflict Detector** — find overlapping hooks and plugin conflicts * **Capability Manager** — manage WordPress roles and capabilities _(planned)_ * **Performance Scanner** — analyze plugin performance _(planned)_ * **Cloud-powered generation history** — save and revisit past generations Pro also registers CPTs and taxonomies directly on your site, bundles multiple generators into plugin ZIP downloads, and connects to Zelvigo’s cloud engine for faster, richer output. #### The bigger picture — what we are building Zelvigo Dev Studio is not just two generators. It is a **complete developer workspace** designed to cut WordPress plugin development time from hours to minutes. Our mission: become the first plugin every WordPress developer installs on a fresh site. **Platform roadmap** * **v1.1** — REST API Generator, AJAX Generator, Cron Generator * **v1.2** — Admin Page Generator, Settings Page Builder, Menu Builder, Dashboard Widgets * **v1.3** — Gutenberg Block Generator, Hook Explorer enhancements, Capability Manager, Plugin Conflict Detector * **v1.4** — CSS Analyzer, JavaScript Analyzer, Performance Scanner, Database Helper * **v1.5** — AI Code Generator, AI Refactoring, AI Documentation, AI Unit Test Generator * **v2.0** — Template Library, Export/Import, Module Marketplace, Team Workspace Lite users get real value today — and a clear path to Pro as the platform grows. #### Who is this for? * WordPress plugin developers * Freelancers building client sites with custom post types * Agencies shipping CPT and taxonomy-heavy projects * SaaS teams using WordPress as a platform * In-house development teams who want faster, standards-compliant boilerplate #### Privacy and trust Zelvigo Dev Studio Lite runs fully on your WordPress site.
