    Types provides you with a wide variety of custom fields, including check-boxes, text areas, visual editors, images, drop-downs and many more.

    With these fields, you can customize the way different edit screens look for different content types.

    Types custom fields can also validate user-input. They check that the input is correctly added and correctly formatted. This means that when you use that data in your templates you know that the display will be flawless.

    Types supports simple repeating fields, and complex data structures using inline child-data editing.

    Types makes it easy to insert your custom content. When creating content, authors can click on the T icon and insert any field into the content.

    To display custom fields in themes, use Types API and code it in PHP, or use Views to create dynamic templates (and more) without ever touching PHP.

    Handle Existing Content

    If you already have a large number of custom fields that you’re managing manually, you can let Types take control.

    Tell Types what kinds of custom fields you have and they will each get their own fancy meta-boxes in the edit pages.

    This works great with custom fields that you’ve previously created , or that other custom field plugins have managed before.

    Embed Into Your Themes and Plugins

    If you’re building themes and plugins, you can harness the power of Types and give your users a rich experience with WordPress.

    Types has an embedded mode which you can use to include the functionality in your themes and plugins. This means that you can define custom types and customize the editing interface without writing a single line of code.

    The embedded version runs as a theme function, not as a plugin. It doesn’t require any activation. Also, because it doesn’t include the Types GUI, it is much smaller than the full plugin version. Your users will still be able to customize things themselves if they download the Types plugin.
