Custom Post Type & Taxonomy Plugin

Context

A US content network managed a lot of structured editorial content and was bending generic pages and a heavy page builder to fit it. That made the admin slow and the underlying data messy and hard to reuse.

I built a focused plugin that registers exactly the post types and taxonomies they needed, and nothing they did not.

How it works

• ›Registers custom post types and taxonomies for the site content model
• ›Adds custom meta boxes for the structured fields
• ›Adds admin columns and list filters so editors find content fast
• ›Exposes the post types over the WordPress REST API for reuse elsewhere

Results

• +Editors got a clean admin built around their content, not a generic builder
• +Content became queryable and reusable through the REST API

What I would do next

I would drive the registrations from a small config array instead of inline code. It would let a non developer add a field without touching PHP and keep every registration in one readable place.
