<li>📂 Taxonomy Builder – Create hierarchical or flat taxonomies, assign to multiple post types</li>
<li>🏷️ Meta Field Builder – 13 field types including flexible content for repeatable data</li>
<li>📱 Mobile-Ready Forms – Responsive meta boxes that work on all devices</li>
<li>💾 Code Generation – Download ready-to-use PHP snippets with proper registration</li>
<li>📤 Portable Config – Export/import JSON for easy deployment across environments</li>

</ol>
<h4>Dashboard</h4>
The dashboard provides a quick overview of your content structures: 
– Post Types Count – All registered custom post types 
– Taxonomies Count – All registered taxonomies 
– Meta Fields Count – All configured meta fields 
– REST Enabled – Count of REST-enabled structures
Use quick action buttons to create new structures, generate code, or manage configurations.
<h4>Custom Post Types</h4>
Configuration Fields: 
– Singular Name – Grammatically correct singular label (e.g., “Portfolio Item”) 
– Plural Name – Plural form (e.g., “Portfolio Items”) 
– Slug – URL-safe identifier, no spaces or special chars (e.g., “portfolio”) 
– Menu Icon – Choose from 300+ Dashicons 
– Menu Position – Order in admin menu (5-100) 
– Description – Helpful text for admin users 
– Supports – Editor features (title, editor, thumbnail, etc.) 
– Public – Visible on frontend (affects archive, search, REST) 
– Hierarchical – Enable parent/child relationships 
– Archive – Show post type archive page 
– REST Support – Enable REST API endpoints
Tips: 
– Archives need “Hierarchical” off and “Archive” enabled 
– Public CPTs require “Show UI” and “Public” both enabled 
– Change slug-related settings before publishing content 
– REST support is recommended for headless/block editor usage
Example: Portfolio Post Type 
 <code>Singular: Portfolio Item 
Plural: Portfolio Items 
Slug: portfolio 
Menu Icon: dashicons-images-alt 
Supports: title, editor, thumbnail 
Public: Yes 
Archive: Yes 
REST: Yes</code>
<h4>Custom Taxonomies</h4>
Configuration Fields: 
– Name – Taxonomy display label (e.g., “Project Categories”) 
– Singular – Singular form (e.g., “Category”) 
– Slug – URL identifier (e.g., “portfolio-category”) 
– Hierarchical – Enable parent/child like categories (vs tags) 
– Post Types – Assign to one or more CPTs 
– Show in REST – Enable REST API support 
– Rewrite – Update URL structure after creation
Tips: 
– Hierarchical taxonomies work like categories (parent/child) 
– Flat taxonomies work like tags (no hierarchy) 
– Assign to multiple post types for shared taxonomy 
– Visit Settings > Permalinks after slug changes
Example: Portfolio Tags Taxonomy 
 <code>Name: Project Tags 
Singular: Tag 
Slug: portfolio-tag 
Hierarchical: No (flat like tags) 
Post Types: portfolio (check) 
Show in REST: Yes</code>
<h4>Meta Fields</h4>
Field Types Supported: 
– Text – Single-line text input 
– Textarea – Multi-line text editor 
– Number – Numeric input with validation 
– Email – Email field with validation 
– URL – URL field with validation 
– Checkbox – Boolean true/false 
– Radio – Single select from options 
– Select – Dropdown selector 
– Date – Date picker field 
– Time – Time picker field 
– Image – Media library image uploader 
– File – Media library file uploader

Tips: 
– Use meta keys like <code>_portfolio_client</code> (underscore prefix hides from custom fields) 
– Required fields work with JavaScript validation 
– Flexible content is perfect for modular content blocks 
– REST-enabled fields auto-register with proper schema
Example: Portfolio Meta Fields 
 <code>1. Client Name (text) - _client_name - Required: Yes 
2. Project URL (url) - _project_url - Required: No 
3. Project Budget (number) - _project_budget - Show in REST: Yes

<h4>Troubleshooting</h4>
Post Type Not Appearing? 
– Check “Show UI” and “Public” are enabled 
– Visit Settings > Permalinks and save 
– Clear browser cache 
– Refresh WordPress admin
Meta Fields Not Showing? 
– Verify field is assigned to correct post type 
– Check post type has meta box support 
– Ensure meta field is not hidden (show_in_rest) 
– Clear admin bar cache
REST API Not Working? 
– Enable “Show in REST” on CPT and fields 
– Verify REST is not disabled in settings 
– Test with REST CLI or Postman 
– Check user capabilities allow API access
Import Failing? 
– Verify JSON file is valid (use online JSON validator) 
– Check file size is under 30MB 
– Ensure proper permissions 
– Try export/import on fresh installation first
Settings > Permalinks Not Saving? 
– Disable plugins temporarily to check conflicts 
– Verify .htaccess is writable 
– Try “Plain” permalinks then switch back 
– Check with hosting provider for rewrite rules
<h4>ACF Compatible JSON</h4>
TypeForge generates ACF-compatible JSON when Advanced Custom Fields is active. This allows: 
– Easy ACF integration for clients 
– Switching between ACF and TypeForge 
– Export structures for ACF field groups 
– Backup ACF fields in portable format
Note: TypeForge is fully independent and works without ACF. ACF compatibility is optional.
