Build structured content

POM Theme’s Content model turns recurring information into reusable WordPress structures. It can register custom post types, attach hierarchical taxonomies, add post fields, save query presets, and apply visibility rules to supported content.

Use these tools for information that must be entered consistently and reused across archives, templates, searches, or integrations. A one-off page section usually belongs in the Page Builder instead.

Recommended build order

1. Decide whether the requirement needs a custom content model.
2. Complete the content-model planning worksheet.
3. Create the custom post type.
4. Create and connect its taxonomies.
5. Add only the required custom fields.
6. Enter representative content before building templates or queries.
7. Create reusable database query presets where a module needs a controlled content source.
8. Add permission rules only when visibility varies by visitor.
9. Configure optional custom post type URLs, taxonomy bases, and post URL hierarchies under Settings → Permalinks.
