Custom Post Types
Get a visual interface to create & manage custom post types without touching functions.php. Control labels, supports, REST visibility, archive behavior, permalink slugs, capability type, and menu placement. Then, attach multiple taxonomies and meta field groups directly from the post type editor.
Plus, export any post type configuration to PHP with one click from Settings → Tools → PHP Generation and drop it into a theme or plugin for version-controlled deployments. This also protects custom post types in WordPress, the PHP-registered schema lives in your theme, so your content types survive even if the plugin is deactivated.
Basic settings: Plural/singular labels, slug, description, menu icon, menu position
Labels tab: Customize every WordPress admin string (Add New, Edit Item, Featured Image, Archives, and more)
Inline meta fields: Attach fields directly to a post type for fast setup without a separate metabox
Advanced settings: Public/queryable, hierarchical, REST API, rewrite slug, capability type, supports (title, editor, thumbnail, excerpt, author, comments, revisions, page attributes, custom fields, post formats), exclude from search, has archive
WordPress Custom Taxonomies
WordPress taxonomies let you organize and filter content across any custom post type. DFE allows to create custom taxonomies in WordPress. Both hierarchical (like categories) or flat (like tags), and attach them to one or more post types. Use a custom taxonomy template to display grouped content, or add term meta fields for richer filtering and display.
You can configure slugs, rewrite rules, REST visibility, admin column display, and tag cloud support. Taxonomy term screens support custom meta fields to add a color swatch, image, or SEO label to any term.
Type: Hierarchical (like categories) or flat (like tags)
Attachment: Attach to one or multiple post types at once
Slugs and rewrite: Custom permalink base, with_front toggle, REST visibility
Term meta fields: Add custom fields to term add/edit screens (color, image, description override, etc.)
Admin column: Show taxonomy terms as a column in the CPT list table
Custom taxonomy template: Use WordPress template hierarchy (taxonomy-{slug}.php) or Pro listing templates to display taxonomy archives without touching theme files
Meta Boxes, Custom Fields & WordPress Metadata
With DFE Meta Boxes, you can add structured custom fields to any post type, taxonomy term, user profile, or options page. That’s where you need precise control over where fields appear, reusable groups, or presentation options beyond inline post-type fields.
Field groups use location rules to target the exact screen where fields should appear. This WordPress metadata plugin has 26+ field types covering virtually every common data input. And, each field type stores predictable meta keys, which your templates and listings can read.
16+ FREE field types
Text, Textarea, Number, Email, URL, Date, Time, Date & Time, Color, Select (single & multi), Checkbox, Radio, Toggle, Image, File, WYSIWYG, all free, no Pro needed.
10+ Advanced field types
Group: Nest related sub-fields together for address blocks or pricing tiers
Repeater: Repeat a set of sub-fields for feature lists, spec rows, or team members
Gallery: Select multiple images for property photos or portfolio galleries
Relationship: Search and attach other posts (articles to authors, products to brands)
Taxonomy Picker: Choose taxonomy terms for curated category picks on a post
User Picker: Select WordPress users to assign account managers or instructors
Tab: Tab headings inside large forms (General, Media, SEO sections)
Accordion: Collapsible field sections for cleaner long metaboxes
Endpoint: Close a tab or accordion section in structured layouts
HTML: Raw HTML block for custom notices or embedded markup
Advanced field settings (Pro):
From the easy-to-use dashboard, set labels, slugs, defaults, required, placeholder, width (25–100%), character limits, min/max, REST visibility
Conditional logic: Show or hide fields based on other field values
Pattern validation: Custom regex with custom error messages
Quick Edit: Surface fields on the CPT post-list Quick Edit panel
Revision tracking: Include field meta when comparing post revision values
Location Rules
Location rules decide where a field group (metabox) appears across your WordPress admin. Target any screen: post editor, term editor, user profile, or options page using one or more conditions that must all matches.
Post screens: post type, specific post, post status
Term screens: taxonomy, specific term
User screens: user form (Add New / Edit / Profile), user role of the user being edited
Options screens: options page menu slug
Rule groups use AND logic. So, all conditions must match for the metabox to appear. For example, show “Project Details” only on published posts in the project post type.
Pro adds more targeting parameters (page template, post parent, post author, post format, taxonomy term, current user role and capability), plus OR rule groups and metabox priority ordering.
Options Pages
Register global admin settings pages alongside your custom post types to store site-wide data — header settings, social links, contact info, API keys, and global defaults — in the WordPress options table. You can use the same 26-type field builder as post types & meta boxes.
For a better site content structure, implement this setting within store header/footer content, contact details, social links, or any global configuration.
Import, Export & Snapshots
Export and import custom post types, taxonomies, and field groups between sites with JSON. The import flow validates the incoming file, shows a diff preview of exactly what will change, and lets you resolve slug conflicts before applying. Snapshots let you roll back to a previous state at any time with no complex setup.
The diff preview option is something that only DFE provides compared to other dynamic CPT plugins.
Export: CPTs, taxonomies, field groups, and options pages as a single JSON bundle
Import with diff preview: See exactly what changes before anything is applied
Conflict resolution: Handle slug clashes on import without data loss
Snapshot rollback: Revert any apply with one click; snapshots are automatic
Pro extras: Export includes queries, listings, and relations
AI Assistant – Build Your Content Model in No Time
The AI Assistant is the fastest way to go from a blank site to a structured content model. Describe what you are building in plain language, and DFE generates a complete schema: custom post types, taxonomies, meta fields, saved queries, listing templates, and post relations. Plus, AI-generated schemas are validated and ready to apply.
Create New mode: Start from a natural-language prompt. ‘Build a real estate site with Properties, Agents, and a commission rate on each property-agent connection’ produces the complete configuration in one step.
Modify Existing mode: Extend a post type you already built. ‘Add SEO fields to my Projects CPT’ appends meta title, description, and OG image without touching what exists.
Fix Schema mode: Paste broken or partial JSON and ask AI to repair it. Particularly useful when migrating from another plugin.
Quick Start templates: Five preset prompts cover Real Estate, Events, Courses, Team Members, and Job Boards. One click fills the prompt; you review before applying.
Snapshot before every apply: AI changes are always preceded by an automatic snapshot. Rollback to the pre-AI state with one click if the result is not what you expected.
Saved Queries & Listing Templates
Build reusable query configurations for posts, terms, and users visually. Then display results with a drag-and-drop listing engine. No PHP required for property grids, team directories, course catalogs, or designed archive pages.
Query Builder: visual builder for WP_Query, WP_Term_Query, and WP_User_Query; stored and reused across listings, shortcodes, and components
Filters: post type, status, author, date range, include/exclude IDs, user roles
Tax Query: taxonomy rules with IN, NOT IN, AND, EXISTS operators
Meta Query: meta key comparisons (=, !=, >, LIKE, BETWEEN, EXISTS) with type casting
Relations filter: filter by relation pairs (IN, NOT IN, EXISTS, INHERITED IN for hierarchical content)
Ordering: date, title, menu order, meta value, random; posts per page and offset
Macro tokens: runtime context via {{current_post_id}}, {{current_user_id}}, {{url_param:key}}, {{related::title}}, {{related_count:}}
Live Preview: run and validate the query inside the admin before publishing
Listing Types
Card: reusable single-item layout used inside grids
Grid: multi-card output from a saved query, default loop, or relation children

Dynamic Visibility
Show or hide listings or individual components based on login state, user role, field value, relation existence, or taxonomy term, without writing conditional PHP.
Pagination
None, numeric, or load more – configurable per listing.
Post Relations
Connect any two WordPress objects, like posts, taxonomy terms, or users, with the exact relationship type your content needs: one-to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-many. Real-world examples like Properties ↔ Agents, Courses ↔ Instructors, or Products ↔ Brands work out of the box.
Each connection can carry its own custom fields (commission rate, role, start date), and related items can be queried in saved queries and displayed using relation_children listing grids.
Object kinds: Posts, terms, or users on both source and target sides
Cardinality: One-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-many
Bidirectional meta boxes: Edit connections from either side
Pair custom fields: Store data on the connection itself (commission rate, role, start date)
Limits: Maximum items per side
Hierarchy: Inherit relations from parent posts, cascade to descendants
Dedicated Storage: wp_rdcfe_relations table for efficient queries
Admin Columns & Filters
Customize the WordPress post-list table for any CPT without writing code. Add sortable meta columns, taxonomy term columns, and dropdown filters driven by actual stored values.
Columns: Sortable meta columns with prefix/suffix, taxonomy term columns, post ID column
Filters: Dropdown filters above the list table driven by taxonomy terms or live meta values
Dynamic blocks and widgets
Standalone Gutenberg blocks and Elementor widgets for individual field output outside the listing builder. So, you can build single-page templates in Gutenberg or Elementor with per-field dynamic binding.
Dynamic Field, Dynamic Image, Dynamic Link, Dynamic Meta, Dynamic Terms, Dynamic Repeater, Relation List, Template Render, Archive Title, Archive Description, Listing Grid block/widget.
Developer Tools
Dynamic Fields Engine is a WordPress custom post type plugin built on PHP 8.0+ with PSR-4 autoloading and a repository pattern. Register post types, taxonomies, and field groups in PHP via the registration API or drive everything over REST. Designed for theme bundling, plugin distribution, CI/CD pipelines, and test environments.
PHP Registration API: rdcfe_register_post_type(), rdcfe_add_local_field_group(), and related functions
REST config API: /rdcfe/v1/… endpoints with full CRUD and capability middleware
PHP Generation: Export any configuration as drop-in PHP code from Settings → Tools
Filters & actions: Hooks for registration, validation, and extension
Who Is This Dynamic CPT Plugin For?
Freelancers and agencies: Build content models once, export as JSON, deploy to client sites. PHP Generation ships the schema inside a theme so it survives plugin deactivation. Whether you need a wp custom post type for a client portfolio, a job board, or a real estate directory, build it once, export as JSON, and deploy to any site.
WordPress developers: PSR-4 codebase, typed interfaces, REST config API, and PHP registration API support CI/CD, version control, and plugin distribution workflows.
Content-heavy site owners: Create CPTs for team members, products, services, case studies, or testimonials and attach exactly the fields your editors need, no developer required day-to-day.
Builders replacing page-builder dependency: Saved Queries + Listing templates give you content model and frontend output from one plugin, without requiring Elementor Pro or a separate display plugin.
Privacy Policy
Dynamic Fields Engine does not collect or transmit site data to external servers, and the plugin authors collect no personal data through the free plugin.
The only exception is the Pro AI Assistant, which sends prompts and schema context to OpenAI — and only when you provide an API key and run generation. Review OpenAI’s terms and privacy policy before use.
