Cptify – Custom Post Type, Fields & Layout Builder

Cptify is no-code content builder for WordPress. Instead of juggling 10 different plugins for Team Members, Portfolio, Testimonials, Events, FAQs, and more — Cptify gives you everything in one clean, powerful interface.

📚 Documentation

Why Choose Cptify for Your WordPress Site?

Most WordPress sites need the same types of content — Team Members, Portfolio, Testimonials, Events. Before Cptify, you had to:

❌ Install separate plugins for each content type ❌ Learn multiple different interfaces ❌ Deal with plugin conflicts and bloated databases ❌ Pay for multiple premium plugins just to get basic functionality

With Cptify, you get everything in one place:

✅ One plugin for all your custom content needs ✅ Consistent, beautiful drag-and-drop interface ✅ Zero coding required — fully visual ✅ Export & import configurations across sites ✅ Lightweight — only loads assets where needed ✅ Developer-friendly with hooks, filters, and REST API

What Makes Cptify Stand Out?

Cptify is not just another CPT plugin. It combines four powerful tools — a Post Type Manager, Taxonomy Manager, Custom Field Builder, and Layout Builder — into a single, cohesive workflow. You design your content structure and its display in one place, without ever leaving your WordPress dashboard.

Here is what sets it apart:

One-Click Module Library: Install complete content systems (Team, Portfolio, Testimonials, Events) in seconds — post type, fields, and layout all at once.

15+ Field Types: From simple Text and Image fields to advanced Repeaters, Relation fields, and Conditional Logic — Cptify covers every use case.

Visual Layout Builder: Design how your content looks on the frontend by dragging layout blocks — no template files to edit.

Smart Default Templates: Every custom post type automatically gets a clean, responsive single post layout — hero image, structured sidebar, and masonry gallery — without any configuration.

Gutenberg Ready: Native block support means you can drop your content anywhere in the editor. Elementor support is available in Cptify Pro.

Import / Export: Move your entire content configuration between WordPress sites with a single JSON file.

Who is Cptify Most Useful For?

Cptify is incredibly versatile and useful for a wide range of WordPress users:

Freelancers & Agencies: Build custom content structures for clients in minutes, not hours. Reuse configurations across projects with Import/Export.

Business Owners: Add Team Members, Services, Testimonials, and FAQs to your site without hiring a developer.

Bloggers & Content Creators: Organize your content into structured types — Book Reviews, Recipes, Tutorials — with custom fields for every detail.

Educators & Course Creators: Build a structured course catalog, instructor directory, or resource library without a dedicated LMS.

Real Estate & Directory Sites: Create custom listings with Price, Location, Amenities, and filterable archives — all without code.

Portfolio & Agency Sites: Showcase projects with custom fields for Client, Category, Tools Used, and beautiful grid or masonry layouts.

Event Organizers: Display upcoming events with Date, Venue, Ticket Links, and a structured archive — easily.

Developers: Use Cptify as a rapid prototyping tool. Leverage REST API, template overrides, and developer hooks to extend functionality your way.
