Pods is a framework for creating, managing, and deploying customized content types and fields.
== Description ==
Manage all your custom content needs in ONE location with the Pods Framework. You can:
* Create and edit custom post types, taxonomy, fields and extend existing WordPress objects like users, media, posts and pages or extend other plugins' custom post types -- all from Pods.
* Easily display your custom content, whether you want to use shortcodes, widgets, the code-free Pods Template approach, or use standard PHP in WordPress Theme templates and functions.
* Create connections between any of your content to help organize it in logical and useful ways with relationship fields.
Manage all your custom content needs in one location with the Pods Framework.
Let Pods help you grow your development skills and manage content beyond the standard WordPress Posts & Pages. Check out [pods.io](https://pods.io/) for our User Guide, [Support Forum](https://pods.io/forums/), and our [Slack Chat](https://pods.io/chat/) to help you develop with Pods.
* **Create content types** including custom post types, custom taxonomies and advanced content types using custom tables (separate from WordPress)
* **Extend and customize content types** including posts, pages, categories, tags, users, and media
* **Create custom settings pages** easily within seconds
* **Add custom fields** to *any* content type or settings page
* **Show your fields** anywhere using our [shortcodes](https://docs.pods.io/displaying-pods/pods-shortcode/), [widgets](https://pods.io/2015/05/03/podscast-005-templates-shortcodes-widgets-displaying-data-in-pods-pt-3/), the code-free [Pods Template](https://pods.io/2015/05/03/podscast-005-templates-shortcodes-widgets-displaying-data-in-pods-pt-3/) approach, or our [automatic theme integration](https://docs.pods.io/displaying-pods/wordpress-theme-templates/)
* **Create connections** between any of your content with [relationship fields](https://docs.pods.io/fields/relationship-fields/) to keep your content organized
Let Pods help you grow your development skills and manage content beyond the standard WordPress Posts & Pages. Check out our [Documentation](https://docs.pods.io/), [Support Forums](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/pods/), and our [Live Slack Chat](https://pods.io/chat/) to help you build your dream project with Pods.
Create any type of content that you want -- small or large -- we've got you covered. Every content type created with Pods gets all the love it needs to grow up big and strong. You'll get an easy to use interface that lets you manage custom fields and how your content type will function.
We now give you the power you've never before had with a single plugin because we've re-imagined how to manage content types from the ground up.
Create any type of content that you want -- small or large -- we've got you covered. Every content type created with Pods gets all the love it needs to grow up big and strong. You'll get an easy to use interface that lets you manage custom fields and how your content type will look or function.
= Create new content types =
With Pods, you can create entirely new content types:
* Custom Post Types - Content types that look and function like Posts and Pages, but in their own separate areas
* Custom Taxonomies - Content types that look and function like Categories and Tags, but in their own separate areas
* Custom Settings Pages - Create custom admin forms under Settings to help organize your site's custom global settings
* Advanced Content Types - These are entirely separate from WordPress and function off their own database tables
= Extend existing content types =
Not satisfied? How about the power of being able to extend existing content types? We've got you covered with extending these major WordPress objects:
* Post Types - Create and manage fields for any existing Post Type (Posts, Pages, etc), even those created by plugins or themes
* Taxonomies - Create and manage fields for any existing Taxonomies (Categories, Tags, etc), even those created by plugins or themes
* Media - Create and manage fields for your media uploads, easily add additional information and context to any file you want
* Users - Create and manage fields for your user profiles, this is truly the bees knees!
* Comments - Create and manage fields for your visitor comments, easily add fields to fit the way you use comments as reviews and more
With Pods, you can create entirely new content types and settings pages.
= Use our field types, or make your own =
We have a lot of common field types available for you to use, or you can build your own with our extensible field type classes.
* **Custom Post Types** - Content types that look and function like Posts and Pages, but in their own separate sections of WordPress
* **Custom Taxonomies** - Content types that look and function like Categories and Tags, but in their own separate sections of WordPress
* **Custom Settings Pages** - Create custom settings under Settings menu to help organize your site's custom global settings
* **Advanced Content Types** - These are entirely separate from WordPress and function off their own database tables (much like the [Drupal CCK](https://www.drupal.org/project/cck))
Each of these field type have their own set of options, if those aren't enough they are also easily extended:

* File / Image / Video - Upload new media or select from existing ones with our Media Library integration, or use a simple uploader, your choice
* Avatars - Upload new media or select from existing ones, automatically integrates with get_avatar calls for Users extended by Pods

= Will Pods work with my Theme? =
We don't provide any special CSS or display attributes with your custom content so as long as your theme works with WordPress standard functions and the [WordPress Template Hierarchy](https://wphierarchy.com), you should be fine. You may need to create special PHP WordPress Theme Templates for your content, or you can use our Pods Templates and the Auto Template option to display your 'template' containing your custom content where your theme normally outputs `the_content` filter.
Most likely the answer is yes. We don't require any special CSS or display attributes to use Pods with your theme so you should have little to no difficulty showing your content in your theme. If you encounter any issues, contact your theme developer and ask them about their support for the standard WordPress theming functions and how to use [WordPress Template Hierarchy](https://wphierarchy.com) with their theme.
