MB Custom Post Types & Custom Taxonomies is a free extension of the Meta Box plugin. It lets you create and manage custom post types and custom taxonomies in WordPress through an easy-to-use interface in the admin area.

The plugin lets you control all post type arguments and taxonomy parameters, such as menu labels, admin bar label, exclude from search, and disable archive page, in minutes. You do not need to write custom PHP code to register custom post types with the functions register_post_type() and register_taxonomy().

Create a new post type with an easy-to-use interface

Create post types and taxonomies without code

The plugin puts every setting from register_post_type() and register_taxonomy() into the admin UI. You create content types the same way you edit a post, with the familiar block-editor layout. Choose what each post type supports, where it appears in the menu, and which taxonomies it uses. No PHP knowledge required.

You can edit all parameters from code with UI

Live editing mode fills in all labels for you

Labels are the texts WordPress uses for a post type, such as "Add New", "Edit", and "Search Items". Writing them all by hand takes time and is easy to get wrong. Type the singular and plural names and the plugin fills in every label automatically. You review the result and adjust only what you need.

Live update labels when you change plural and singular names

Drag and drop to reorder posts and terms

Custom post types often need a manual order. The plugin lets you drag and drop posts to reorder them, including hierarchical post types where you set parent and child relationships. Taxonomy terms work the same way. No extra plugin needed.

Manage content types with AI agents

With the Abilities API, AI agents can create, read, update, and delete post types, taxonomies, posts, and terms programmatically. Let an AI assistant manage your content structure for you.
