About BB Content Types

From the official readme · v1.0.5

Description

BB Content Types helps you create and manage custom post types and taxonomies from a friendly admin screen. Set up labels, slugs, visibility, and editor features without editing code, and keep URLs predictable with clear rewrite controls. It is built for teams that want a reliable, repeatable setup that can be moved between environments.

Installation

  1. Upload the bb-content-types folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  2. Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” screen in WordPress.
  3. Go to “Content Types” in the admin menu to create post types and taxonomies.

Frequently asked questions

Who is this plugin for?

Anyone who needs custom post types and taxonomies without touching code, including marketers and content teams.

Will it change my theme or content?

No. It only registers post types, taxonomies, and rewrite rules. Your theme controls how content is displayed.

Do I need to flush rewrites?

Rewrite changes are flagged and flushed automatically for admins on the next load. You can also use the “Flush rewrites” button if needed.

Does parent mapping affect archives?

Yes. If a parent page is selected, archive URLs are mapped under the parent path as well.

Can I export or import configurations?

Yes. The admin includes import and export tools so you can move settings between sites.
