About
CMS Press opens up the ability to create and manage custom content types and taxonomies for your WordPress site. It adds the flexibilty to have more than just posts and pages for content by allowing the user to register their own post_types that can use their separate theming from the post and page template along with its own permalink structure.
Along with custom post_types, CMS Press gives users the also register their own taxonomies. With the addition of custom taxonomies, a user can tag or categorize content separate from the default tags and categories.

FAQ
Why would I use this plugin?
For most sites, having posts and pages and categories and tags will be enough to do everything the user wants. However, there are some sites that need the content to be further separated.
How does it work?
CMS Press works by utilizing the new custom post_type and custom taxonomy features incorporated into WordPress 2.9. It works by storing user created post_types and settings and then registering them with WordPress so that the post_types are now supported.
What is a custom content type?
A custom content type or custom post_type is a description of a type of content being managed by WordPress. Pages, posts, attachments, and revisions are all post_types built into WordPress by default. CMS Press lets you create your own types of content that you can manage.
What is a custom taxonomy?
A taxonomy is a WordPress supported way of categorizing content. By default, WordPress has taxonomies for Categories and Tags. Both of these apply to the ‘post’ content type. CMS Press allows the user to create their own taxonomies to also apply to the ‘post’ content type or any other content types they create.
Where can we expect CMS Press to go from here?
We’ve tried to make CMS Press as flexible and as easy to extend as possible. Because of this, creating plugins that depend on CMS Press becomes relatively easy by just extending some of CMS Press’s base classes. We hope to extend this extension api, and release some of our own child plugins that add even more complex custom content types like future events.
