Introduction to Custom Post Type Tools

When building custom post types, MetaFields, and taxonomies in WordPress, popular tools like Advanced Custom Fields, MetaBox, JetEngine, or Toolset may come to mind. However, ACPT is a noteworthy newcomer offering versatility at competitive pricing. It is an innovative tool that simplifies the creation of custom post types, MetaFields, and taxonomies.

Setting Up ACPT with Bricks Builder

Creating Custom Post Types

Navigate to ACPT > Custom Post Types and register a new type.

1. Set your name, labels and choose an icon.
