About the plugin

About WBP Fields & CPT Builder

A WordPress plugin for creating custom post types, taxonomies, and custom fields (text, repeater, gallery, relationship, flex content, block) visually — with REST API, GraphQL, and template integration built in.

WBP Fields & CPT Builder is a first-class citizen inside the WP Bulk Publishing ecosystem. It ships as an installable WordPress plugin, exposes REST endpoints under its own namespace, and shares user, credit, telemetry, and entitlement plumbing with the parent runtime — so it never becomes a silo.

Every capability is documented, versioned, and gated by WordPress capabilities. You can run it in isolation, or connect it to the rest of the WBP suite for compounding value across content, SEO, publishing, and revenue.

The problem

Why the default workflow breaks down

01

Ops work eats your team

Updates, backups, monitoring, and log-diving fill days that should go into product — and the work never ends.

02

Updates break sites at 2am

Auto-updating in production is a coin flip. Not updating is worse. You need a middle path — and there isn't one out of the box.

03

No audit trail

When a page changes, a plugin activates, or a role gets edited, WordPress doesn't tell you who did what. Compliance reviewers hate it.

04

Backups you can't trust

Most backup plugins never test-restore. You only discover the backup is broken the day you need it.

05

Multi-site chaos

Managing 10 or 100 WordPress installs from wp-admin doesn't scale. You need one control tower, not 100 dashboards.

06

Franken-stack tool fatigue

Most teams stitch together 3–5 disconnected tools to do what WBP Fields & CPT Builder does out of the box. Managing that stack becomes a second full-time job.

Administrator

Full access to configure, install, and manage WBP Fields & CPT Builder.

Editor / Manager

FAQ

Questions? We've been asked before.

Do I need any other plugin to use WBP Fields & CPT Builder?

WBP Fields & CPT Builder runs standalone. When you install the WP Bulk Publishing parent runtime as well, it unlocks shared credits, telemetry, and cross-plugin signals — but nothing is force-bundled.

Will it slow down my site?

Front-end code is loaded conditionally on the templates that actually need it, and heavy work runs on background queues rather than blocking the request. Core Web Vitals stay green.

Can I use it on multiple sites?

Yes. Plans are site-based with per-plan seat counts, and you can push settings from a parent site to child sites via the WP Empire Controller.

Is my data ever sent to third parties?

Only when you explicitly authorize an external service (an AI provider, a webhook, a CDN, etc.). Core functionality is fully local by default.

How do I get support?

Every WBP plugin ships with documentation, an in-plugin support widget, and email + community support on paid tiers.

What are the technical requirements?

WBP Fields & CPT Builder needs WordPress 5.0+, PHP 7.4+, and MySQL 5.7+ (or MariaDB 10.3+). Full multisite support is built in.

Can I extend it with my own code?

Yes. WBP Fields & CPT Builder exposes REST endpoints under wbp/wbp-fields-and-cpt-builder/v1 and a full set of WordPress action and filter hooks under the wbp_fields_and_cpt_builder_ prefix.
