Zelvigo Dev Studio Lite – WordPress CPT & Taxonomy Generator
Looking for a WordPress CPT generator or taxonomy generator? Zelvigo Dev Studio Lite is a free developer toolkit built for plugin authors, freelancers, and agencies who create custom post types and taxonomies every week — and are tired of rewriting register_post_type() and register_taxonomy() boilerplate from scratch.
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.
