Custom Post Types & AI Content

Aimogen works with any WordPress post type, not just standard posts and pages. If a post type exists in WordPress and is publicly registered, Aimogen can generate, edit, and update content for it using the same AI tools and execution flow.

There is no special configuration or “CPT mode” required.

What Counts as a Custom Post Type #

Any post type registered via:

• a theme
• a plugin
• custom code (register_post_type)

is considered a custom post type.

Common examples include:

• Products (WooCommerce)
• Portfolio items
• Documentation entries
• Listings
• Knowledge base articles
• Events
• Courses
• Testimonials

Aimogen does not distinguish between built-in and custom post types internally.

Where You Select the Post Type #

Every Aimogen content generator that creates posts includes a Post Type selector.

You’ll see this in:

• Single AI Post Creator
• Bulk AI Post Creator
• CSV-Based AI Post Generator
• Amazon generators
• Structured and dialog generators

All registered post types appear automatically in the dropdown.

No manual registration inside Aimogen is required.

Creating AI Content for Custom Post Types #

To generate AI content for a custom post type:

1. Open the desired Aimogen generator
2. Choose your custom post type in the Post Type field
3. Configure prompts and settings as usual
4. Run the generator

Aimogen creates entries of that post type using standard WordPress APIs.

From WordPress’ perspective, these are normal posts of that type.

---

Editing Existing Custom Post Type Content #

Aimogen’s AI Content Editor works on:

• Posts
• Pages
• Custom post types

If the post type supports the editor, Aimogen can:

• Rewrite content
• Expand sections
• Summarize text
• Translate content
• Apply prompt-based transformations

No CPT-specific editor configuration is needed.

---

Metadata and Custom Fields #

Aimogen focuses on content generation, not field mapping.

Important behavior:

• Aimogen generates the main post content
• It does not automatically fill custom fields unless explicitly configured
• SEO plugin integrations still work if the CPT supports them

If your custom post type relies heavily on custom fields, you typically:

• Generate the main body with Aimogen
• Fill structured fields manually or via other plugins
• Or use workflows / custom code for advanced field population

---

Taxonomies (Categories, Tags, Custom Taxonomies) #

If your custom post type supports taxonomies:

• Aimogen can assign categories or tags
• Auto-generation works if the taxonomy is public and attached to the post type
• Fixed taxonomy assignment works the same way as with posts

Custom taxonomies appear automatically if WordPress exposes them correctly.

---

WooCommerce and Other Plugin CPTs #

Aimogen can generate content for plugin-defined post types such as WooCommerce products, provided they:

• Are publicly queryable
• Support the content editor

For WooCommerce products, Aimogen can generate:

• Product descriptions
• Long-form content
• SEO-oriented text

It does not manage pricing, inventory, or product logic unless you explicitly integrate those via workflows or code.

---

Bulk Generation for CPTs #

Bulk generators work identically with custom post types.

You can:

• Generate dozens or hundreds of CPT entries
• Use CSV data for structured CPT content
• Use RSS or YouTube inputs to populate CPTs
• Use listicles or dialogs for CPT-based content

The post type selection controls the target.

---

What Aimogen Does Not Do Automatically #

Aimogen does not:

• Guess which post type to use
• Modify CPT registration
• Alter post type capabilities
• Automatically map CSV columns to custom fields
• Enforce CPT-specific validation rules

It respects WordPress’ existing structure.

---

Common Pitfalls #

If a custom post type does not appear:

• It may not be registered as public
• It may not support the editor
• It may be hidden from admin UI
• The plugin registering it may not be loaded yet

This is a WordPress-level issue, not an Aimogen limitation.

---

Best Practices #

• Ensure CPTs support the editor if you want AI content
• Start with draft status when generating CPT content
• Test generation on a single item first
• Review taxonomy and permalink behavior
• Combine Aimogen with CPT-specific plugins for full workflows

---

Summary #

Aimogen treats custom post types as first-class citizens. Any post type that exists in WordPress can be targeted for AI content creation and editing, using the same generators, prompts, and models as standard posts. There is no special CPT configuration inside Aimogen—post type selection alone determines where the AI-generated content is stored.
