Hi there,

I'd like to do something like this https://toolset.com/faq/how-do-i-convert-existing-custom-types-and-fields-to-types-control/ but only by code, i.e. I want to create a custom post type that is "Toolset-ready" by code.

More practical, I would like to replace this code: `register_post_type(self::POSTTYPE, self::POSTTYPE_ARGS)` by something like this `wp_types_register_post_type(self::POSTTYPE, self::POSTTYPE_ARGS)´

In the end I would expect this post type to behave just like one created by the Toolset GUI.

Is there any API for that?

Best regards

Hi, I'm not aware of a public API for registering post types the Toolset way, but I will reach out to my 2nd tier support team to see if there is any alternative to the GUI.

It turns out there is not a public API for creating custom post types in code. For now, the best approach is to create new post types using the GUI.
