## What is CPT UI?

CPT UI is a WordPress plugin that provides a UI for registering custom post types (CPTs) and taxonomies — the structural content layer that ACF, page builders, themes, and other plugins build on top of. It has been actively maintained since 2011 and is installed on over 1,000,000 active WordPress sites with 20M+ all-time downloads.

CPT UI does not replace field plugins (ACF, Meta Box), themes, or page builders. It is the foundation those tools rely on.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Does CPT UI Pro replace ACF or Meta Box?**
No. CPT UI handles the structural layer (registering post types and taxonomies). ACF, Meta Box, and other field plugins work on top of that structure. They are complementary, not competing.

**Is CPT UI Pro a subscription?**
No. One-time purchase. Plugin works forever. Renewal at 30% discount is optional for continued updates after 6 months.

**Is the free plugin still maintained?**
Yes. Free has been actively maintained since 2011 and will be forever.

**What is the license?**
GPL v2. Both free and Pro.
