What is CPT Builder?

The CPT Builder (Custom Post Type Builder) in Topper Pack gives you the power to create custom post types and taxonomies directly from your WordPress dashboard — without writing a single line of code.

With just a few clicks, you can build fully customized content structures like:

• 📦 Portfolios
• 📝 Testimonials
• 🧑‍💼 Team Members
• 🗓️ Events
• 🎓 Courses
• 🏢 Projects
• 📚 Books, Recipes, Products — Anything your business needs!

✨ Why Use CPT Builder?

By default, WordPress only includes Posts and Pages. But modern websites need flexible content types tailored to their unique needs. That’s where the CPT Builder shines:

🚀 Core Features of the CPT Builder

✅ Easy CPT Creation

Create a new post type by simply:

• Naming it (e.g., “Portfolio”)
• Choosing its slug (e.g., /portfolio)
• Enabling features (Title, Thumbnail, Editor, etc.)
• Deciding where it appears in the admin menu

📂 Custom Taxonomies

Build hierarchical or flat taxonomies like:

• Categories (e.g., “Industry” for Projects)
• Tags (e.g., “Skills” for Team Members)

This allows for advanced filtering and better content classification.

🧠 Elementor Compatibility

All custom post types created with the CPT Builder are fully editable in Elementor. You can:

• Design single post templates with the Theme Builder
• Display listings using Topper dynamic widgets
• Combine with Custom Fields (via ACF or MetaBox)
