Where: Settings → Content & publishing → Content types
Open this page: admin.<your-site>/settings/content-types (replace <your-site> with your site address). If you don’t see it in the menu, turn on Show all settings on the Settings page.
Before you start
- You need the owner or an admin account.
- Your site has a maximum number of content types. When you reach it, the page says to archive one you no longer use.
Steps
- Open Settings → Content & publishing → Content types.
- Press New content type. See How do I build a content type?.
- To change one, press Edit on its card.
- To see its entries, press Open entries.
Good to know
- Each card shows the name, web address, the number of fields and entries (for example "3 entries, 2 published").
- Archived types are listed last under Archived.
- Changes never break saved entries. A saved field keeps its kind, and a removed field is only hidden.
- Built-in types are not listed here.
Common problems
- "No content types of your own yet" is shown until you make one.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
When should I make my own type?
When none of the built-in types fit what you publish.
Are archived types deleted?
No. Their entries are kept and come back when you bring the type back.
