Introduction
Content types that evolve with your needs
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 field groups, custom fields, and how your content type will look or function.
Create new content types
With Pods, you can create entirely new content types and settings pages.
Every Field Type, FREE
If you choose to use Pods for your custom fields, you’ll get every field type you need, free of charge. Pods works great alongside other custom field plugins like Advanced Custom Fields too.
We have an extensive collection of over 25 different input types to choose from on 20+ different field types for any content structure. Each field type comes with their own additional options to help you customize content entry and display.
You can also control visibility by role/capability and other advanced options.
- Repeatable Fields: Turn almost any field into a repeatable field with multiple values
- Text: Plain Text, Website, Phone, Email, Password
- Paragraph: Plain Paragraph Text, WYSIWYG (Visual Editor), Code (Syntax Highlighting)
- Date / Time: Date and Time, Date, Time
- Number: Plain Number, Currency (30+ international currencies)
- Relationships / Media: File / Image / Video (Media library and basic upload options available), Avatar (for extended Users), oEmbed, Relationship (Dropdown, Multi Select, Autocomplete, Checkboxes, Radio Buttons, and List View available)
- Checkbox (Yes / No)
- Color Picker
- Layout Fields: Heading text, HTML content
Relationships to rule the world with

- Custom defined lists of text options
- Relate to any Post Type or Taxonomy posts / terms
- Relate to any User profile
- Relate to User Roles or Capabilities
- Relate to any Comment
And many other relationships are also available including:
- Image Sizes

Optional Components to do even more
You can enable some of our included components to extend your WordPress site even further:
- Types-only Mode – On our Pods Settings page, you can choose to disable creating custom fields for a performance boost if you only want to use Pods for content types or you plan on using it alongside of other custom field plugins
- Pods Templates – Use our template engine to create templates that can be handed off to clients for care-free management
- Markdown Syntax – Parses Markdown Syntax for Paragraph Text / WYSIWYG fields
- Advanced Relationships – Add even more relationship objects including Database Tables, Multisite Networks, Multisite Sites, Themes, Page Templates (in the theme), Sidebars, Post Type Objects, and Taxonomy Objects
- Table Storage – Enable table-based database storage for custom fields on Post Types, Media, Users, and Comments
- Roles and Capabilities – Create or edit Roles for your site and customize what they have access to
- Advanced Content Types – Create entirely custom content types that have their own database table, and they will exist outside the normal WordPress context avoiding meta database tables
- Pods Pages – Create custom pages that function off of your site’s URL path with wildcard support and choose the Page Template in the theme to use — most useful paired with Advanced Content Types

How can I translate Pods into my own language?
Many thanks go out to the fine folks who have helped us translate the Pods plugin into many other languages.
Join us in further translating the Pods interface on the official Translating WordPress dashboard
We are also available through our Live Community Slack Chat to help our translators get started and to support them on the process.
Are you looking to translate your Pods and Fields themselves? You’ll want to enable the “Translate Pods” component from Pods Admin > Components.
