Custom Post Type UI is a plugin that adds content types (Custom Post Types) to the WordPress interface. It streamlines the process of writing and editing content for WordPress websites. Custom Post Types can be tailored to the specific needs of a website. This includes custom fields and taxonomies for categorizing and organizing the Custom Post Types. As a result, a Custom Post Type can look entirely different from the standard page or post.

Custom Post Type UI is used to create the types of content aside from the regular Page and Post types. This allows for more intuitive and organized content management. It also has other related tools for user-defined taxonomies and custom fields. The plugin allows us to create Custom Post Types directly from the WordPress dashboard. This eliminates the need to write lines of code or hire a technical expert.

The plugin offers additional features which make it even more useful. For example, it allows embedding Custom Post Types directly into sidebars, menus, and other areas. This allows users to create more elaborate content that is organized into sections. Customizable labels help make all the content types easily recognizable to visitors and search engines.

The plugin also offers a convenient way of creating draft versions of content that can later be submitted for review and editing. This is useful for collaboration and ensuring that finalized content is free of typos and errors. It is possible to publish the Custom Post Types by setting them as public posts. Additionally, Custom Post Types can be set to preview only so that the changes made on drafts are only visible after the post is published.

In addition, site owners can use the plugin to restrict access to their Custom Post Types and taxonomies so that only those with specific permission levels have access to them. This is important for ensuring the security of confidential or sensitive information.
