Easy Post Types and Fields

Posts Table Pro is a dynamic WordPress table plugin that lists any type of content from your website in a searchable table. As well as displaying any custom post type, you can choose which columns of information to show in the table – including your custom fields and custom taxonomies. See below for screenshots.

Your users will view the information in a table on the front end of your site. They can use the search box, sortable columns, and filter dropdowns to find exactly what they’re looking for.

This is how it displays the information from Easy Post Types and Fields:

• Create a table listing any or all of the posts from your custom post type. For example, you can list all the custom posts, or list posts with a specific ID, custom field value, custom taxonomy term, published date, etc.
• Display each custom field as a separate column in the table. Users can sort the table by custom field.
• Display each custom taxonomy as a separate column in the table. Users can sort by taxonomy terms, and also click on a term to filter the table. In addition, you can add each taxonomy as a filter dropdown above the table. That way, users can instantly find custom posts by taxonomy.

This free WordPress custom post type plugin includes:

• Custom post types: Create an unlimited number of custom post types. Each custom post type has its own section in the WordPress admin, so you can manage your custom content separately from other WordPress post types.
• Extend existing post types.

Custom fields:

• Add custom fields to any WordPress post type – either the post types that are built into WordPress itself (pages, posts, media attachments, etc.), content types created using Easy Post Types and Fields, or any other custom post type (e.g. post types created using other plugins such as Document Library Pro and WooCommerce Product Table .
• 2 custom field types: Plain text or WYSIWYG (Visual Editor).

Custom taxonomies:

• Add custom taxonomies to any post type.
• Choose between hierarchical taxonomies (similar to WordPress categories) or non-hierarchical taxonomies (similar to WordPress tags).
• Each taxonomy is unique to a specific post type, so you can manage the taxonomy terms separately from other categories and taxonomies.

What doesn’t it include?

Easy Post Types and Fields includes the features that the majority of WordPress site owners use when they create custom post types, custom fields, and taxonomies. It intentionally does not include more advanced features that only a small proportion of users need, such as:

• Additional custom field types such as date picker, checkbox, and color picker fields (remember, you can add dates, numbers, images, etc. to a Visual Editor custom field in Easy Post Types and Fields).
• Privacy options to restrict which user roles can see each field.
• Relationship and repeater fields.
• Advanced Content Types (ACTs) that get their own database tables.

If you need these features then we recommend using a different custom post type plugin (e.g. Pods, Custom Post Type UI, or ACF). There are some excellent options available if you are happy with the added complexity.

Restrict access to custom post types and make them private

Some people want to control who can access some or all of their custom posts. You can do this by using Easy Post Types and Fields with our other plugin, WordPress Password Protected Categories . This adds privacy options to your hierarchical custom taxonomies.

Simply restrict each one to specific logged-in users or user roles, or to anyone with the password. All the posts/custom posts in that taxonomy will then be private and hidden from view.
