The complete and reliable plugin for managing custom post types, custom taxonomy and custom fields.

== Description ==

Types makes it easy to customize the WordPress admin. Define your own content using **custom post types** and **custom taxonomy**. Redesign editing screens using **custom fields**.

The integration between custom post types, taxonomy and fields lets you do things that no other custom-fields plugin can do.

= CUSTOM FIELDS =

Types includes support for a wide list of custom fields.

* **Single-line text**
* **Multi-line text**
* **WYSIWYG** (WordPress Visual Editor)
* **Checkbox**
* **Multi-value Checkboxes**
* **Radio group**
* **Drop-down Select**
* **File upload**
* **Image** (Types includes a robust image-resize and caching engine)
* **Date** (includes a JS date-picker)
* **Email**
* **Numeric**
* **Phone**
* **Skype**
* **URL**
* **Post reference** (using Types Parent / Child relationships management)

Types custom fields use the standard WordPress post-meta table, making it cross-compatible with any theme or plugin. Additionally, all fields can be **repeating fields**.

= CUSTOM POST TYPES AND TAXONOMY =

Types lets you easily setup custom post types and taxonomy. You can create new post types in seconds and use the advanced settings to customize every aspect.

* Full control over every feature
* Associate taxonomy with custom post types
* Integrated control over custom fields display for different post types

= BUILD RELATIONAL SITES =

Types lets you define parent / child relationship between different post types. You'll easily setup one-to-many and many-to-many relationships and build powerful sites.

= MADE FOR EXPERIENCED PHP DEVELOPERS AND FOR NON-CODERS =
If you're an experienced PHP developer, you'll appreciate Types comprehensive [PHP API](http://wp-types.com/documentation/functions/) and [documentation](http://wp-types.com/documentation/user-guides/).

Even without being a WordPress guro or an expert PHP developer, you can still build complete WordPress sites using the complete [Toolset](http://wp-types.com) package. Besides Types, you'll find:

* [Views](http://wp-types.com/home/views-create-elegant-displays-for-your-content/) - a powerful content display engine
* [CRED](http://wp-types.com/home/cred/) - front-end form builder for content creation and editing
* [Access](http://wp-types.com/home/types-access/) - roles and access control management

The [Toolset](http://wp-types.com) package will let you build powerful WordPress sites right from within the admin dashboard, without any PHP.

= MULTILINGUAL READY =

Types is the only custom fields and post types plugin that's built multilingual-ready. It plays perfectly with [WPML](http://wpml.org). You'll be able to translate everything, including texts and labels in the WordPress admin and user-content for front-page.

= BUILT FOR STABILITY =

Types is part of a family of plugins, developed and maintained by [OnTheGoSystems](http://www.onthegosystems.com). Our plugins power over 100,000 commercial sites, using WordPress as a complete CMS. While we love features, we know that stability, performance, usability and security are critical. All our plugins go through comprehensive testing, QA and security analysis before every release.

== Installation ==

1. Upload 'types' to the '/wp-content/plugins/' directory
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress


== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How can I display custom post types on the home-page? =

By default, WordPress will either display your blog posts or a specific page on the home-page.

To display custom post types on the home-page, you have two options:

1. If you're comfortable with PHP and WordPress API, edit the site's template files (probably index.php) and load the custom post types there. Different themes do this differently, so we can't really say what single approach works best. You should look at [get_posts](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts), which is part of the WordPress Template Tags system.
2. If you want to build sites right away, without becoming an expert in WordPress API and try our [Views Toolset](http://wp-types.com/). You'll be able to load whatever content you need from the database and display it anywhere and in whatever way you choose.

We're sorry, but we don't know of any third option which is both free and requires no coding.

= Can I use Types without Views? =

Sure you can! Types, by itself, replaces several other plugins that define custom types and fields. We believe that it does it much better, but it's up to you to decide.

If you also buy Views, with Toolset, you'll have a complete solution for both **defining** and **displaying** custom data. You can achieve everything that Views does if you're fluent in PHP and know WordPress API. When you buy Views, you're also supporting Types development, but we're not looking for donations. You should consider Views for its value and nothing else.

= I am already a ninje developer, do I really need Views? =

We honestly think so. Even if you're an expert developer, do you really enjoy doing the same stuff over and over again? With Views, you can concentrate on the unique features of every new site that you build, without wasting time on routine stuff.

Views was originally inspired by the Drupal module with the same name. Around 90% of all Drupal sites use the Drupal Views module and many consider it as one of the most powerful features in Drupal. Now, you too can enjoy the same power (and even more), but without any of the complexity of Drupal.

= Can Types display custom fields that I defined somehow else? =

Yes! You can tell Types to manage any other custom fields. For example, if you're using an e-commerce plugin, you can tell Types to manage product pricing. This will greatly help you display these fields with Types API or with Views.

Go to Custom fields control, under the Types menu. There, you can tell Types to manage existing custom fields.

= How do I migrate an existing site to use Types? =

The most important thing is to remember not to define custom post types and taxonomy in more than one place. If you previously defined them in PHP, first, remove your PHP code with the manual definition. The content will appear to temporarily vanish. Don't panic. Now, redefine the same custom post types and taxonomy with Types. Everything will return :-)

Types also includes data import from other plugins such as Custom Post UI and Advanced Custom Fields.

= Can I import and export my Types settings? =

Yes! Types includes its own import and export features, using an XML settings file. If you create a development site, you can easily transfer settings to the production site.

= What is the advantage of using Types over separate plugins for custom post types, taxonomy and fields? =

Types offers a much richer integration, which is simply impossible with separate plugins. For example, you have fine-grained control of where to display custom meta-boxes. Because Types defines both the post types and fields, we have greater control of where things can go.

Additionally, Types is the only plugin that lets you define parent/child relationships between different post types AND use that information to edit child data when editing a parent.
