Themify Post Type Builder PTB WordPress Plugin

Struggling to set up custom post types in WordPress? While you’ll find plenty of plugins for this, Themify Post Type Builder (PTB) is easily one of the top contenders.

Crafted by Themify, this premium plugin lets you spin up custom post types, taxonomies, and extra fields without touching a single line of code. The best part? It’s completely universal. You don’t need to use a Themify theme to make it work; it runs flawlessly on any WordPress setup. It’s a massive timesaver if you’re building complex sites like real estate directories, movie review hubs, classifieds, or job boards.

What Can You Actually Do with Themify PTB?

• You can create new content types beyond WordPress’s built-in ones (Post and Page), such as Properties, Movies, Products, or Portfolios.
• You can group your custom content. For example, if the post type is Movie, its taxonomies could be Genre, Director, or Release Year.
• Special input fields are available to collect specific information for each piece of content, such as property prices, movie durations, ratings, or map coordinates.
• A drag-and-drop system is available for designing how content is displayed on web pages, both for single pages (Single Post) and archive/content listing pages (Archive Layout).
• You can easily transfer the data structure (post types and fields) you have created to another WordPress site in JSON format for Export and Import.
• Fully supports multilingual content

Expanding Capabilities: The PTB Add-ons

If you need to scale up your website’s features, Themify provides several optional add-ons, available separately or as a complete bundle.

• PTB Extra Fields: Expands your data options by adding 10 advanced field types, including video sliders, photo galleries, progress bars, audio files, interactive maps, and star ratings.
• PTB Submissions: Enables front-end user submissions. External users can publish content directly through a web form, bypassing the WordPress back-end entirely—ideal for multi-author directories and classified sites.
• PTB Search: Introduces deep filtering to your website. It allows you to create complex search forms so users can filter results by specific criteria, such as searching for properties by price range and room count.
• PTB Relation: Connects independent custom post types together. A practical example is linking an “Actors” post type to a “Movies” post type, allowing relevant actor profiles to show up automatically on film pages.
