Overview

SuperLight CPT Manager is a minimalist WordPress plugin that lets administrators create Custom Post Types without clutter or bloat.

Each CPT automatically:

  • Registers itself with WordPress (visible in menus and REST API)

  • Supports basic post features (title, editor, thumbnail, excerpt)

  • Comes with a unique shortcode (e.g. [superlight_cpt slug="book"])

There are no extra scripts, no custom tables, and no unnecessary settings — just pure, clean functionality in under 200 lines of PHP.

Features

  • Add, import/export, or delete custom post types on the fly

  • Each post type gets its own shortcode

  • Works instantly with Query Loop and block editors (show_in_rest enabled)

  • All CPTs stored in a single WordPress option (superlight_cpts)

  • No dependencies, no setup, no nonsense
