Everything included

One toolkit. Total control.

Phox Studio bundles the tools you'd otherwise need five or six plugins for (structured content, custom fields, admin design, and access control) behind a single, beautifully organised menu.

Custom Post Types

Spin up Projects, Properties, Events (any content type) with full control over visibility, archives, REST, and WPGraphQL.

Custom Taxonomies

Group and filter content your way, hierarchical like categories or flat like tags, attached to any of your post types.

25+ Custom Field types

From simple text to galleries, maps, icon pickers, repeaters, and flexible content, with conditional logic and location rules.

Content Types with real tables

CCTs store records in their own database tables. Fast, clean, and built for data that was never meant to be a "post".

Relationship engine

Link anything to anything (CCT items, posts, users) with drag-to-order, per-link metadata, and automatic two-way lookups.

Options Pages

Global settings screens for site-wide content (contact details, social links, CTAs) available everywhere as dynamic data.

Admin Pages in Breakdance

Design a page in Breakdance, then mount it as a real wp-admin screen. Custom dashboards and client portals, zero code.

Menu Editor & Admin Styling

Reorder and hide admin menus per role, recolour the dashboard, hide notice spam, and declutter wp-admin for clients.

Login designer & User Roles

Brand the login screen with your logo and colours, create roles, and fine-tune capabilities so everyone sees exactly what they should.

Spreadsheet editor

Bulk-edit records in a fast grid view, the quickest way to clean up or mass-update structured data.

Import / Export

Move your setup between sites, export your configuration from one install and import it on another in seconds.

Command palette

Hit Ctrl/Cmd + K anywhere in the admin and jump straight to any screen or quick action. No more menu hunting.

Custom Content Types

Data that was never meant to be a post

Bookings. Inventory. Members. Submissions. WordPress crams everything into the posts table, and slows down as it grows. Phox Studio's Content Types give each dataset its own dedicated database table with real columns.

  • Fast at any scale: one row per record, no meta-table bloat, even with tens of thousands of entries.
  • Same editing workflow: CCTs are edited in Breakdance just like post types, plus a dedicated item editor and spreadsheet view.
  • Display with dedicated elements: Loop Builder, Data Table, and Filter Bar elements purpose-built for CCT data in Breakdance.
  • Optional REST API: switch on clean CRUD endpoints per content type for integrations and automations.

Every link is a real record, ordered, enriched with metadata, and readable from both directions.

The Relationship Engine

Link anything to anything

Most field plugins give you a "pick a post" dropdown and call it a day. Phox Studio stores every connection as its own record in a dedicated relationships table, and that changes what's possible.

  • Any target: connect CCT items to other CCT items, to any post type, or to WordPress users.
  • Metadata per link: attach extra data to each connection itself: a person's role on a project, a featured flag, a custom order.
  • Two-way by default: set the link on one side, query it from either. Show every project a team member belongs to without adding a single extra field.
  • Drag to reorder: related items keep the exact order editors arrange them in.
  • Self-cleaning: delete an item and every link to and from it is removed automatically. No orphaned connections, ever.
Custom Fields

Every field type you'll ever need

Eight categories, 25+ types, including layout fields like Repeater and Flexible Content that let editors build modular, repeating content without touching the builder.

Repeaters

Variable rows of the same sub-fields: FAQs, features, team lists. Add, drag-reorder, and collapse rows. Displays through Breakdance's native Repeater element.

Flexible Content

Define layouts (Hero, Gallery, CTA) and let editors mix, match, and reorder them like blocks. Rendered by the dedicated Phox Flexible Content element.

Conditional logic

Show or hide fields based on other field values, and target field groups precisely with location rules. Edit screens stay clean and relevant.

Breakdance-first

Built to make Breakdance unstoppable

Everything you create in Phox Studio flows straight into the builder as dynamic data, and the plugin ships its own elements and workflow upgrades under the Phox category.

CCT Loop Builder

Design one card, loop it over any CCT, including the related items of a relationship field.

Data Table

Sortable, columned tables for CCT items or posts. Build directories and listings in minutes.

CCT Filter Bar

Front-end filtering by any field value, so visitors can slice your data their way.

Create Post form action

Turn Breakdance form submissions into posts or CPT entries, with field mapping, taxonomy assignment, and built-in rate limiting.

Clone in Builder

Duplicate pages and templates from the builder's document switcher, without ever leaving Breakdance.

Builder grid overlay

A configurable alignment grid on the builder canvas. Designer-only, never rendered on the live site.

The Admin Experience

An admin your clients will actually enjoy

Phox Studio doesn't stop at content modelling. It reshapes the whole WordPress admin into something clean, branded, and tailored to each person who logs in.

  • Admin Pages: mount any Breakdance-designed page as a wp-admin screen for dashboards and portals.
  • Menu Editor: reorder and hide admin menu items per role, globally or for specific user types.
  • Login designer: your logo, your colours, your background on the login screen.
  • Admin styling & cleanup: recolour the dashboard, hide notice spam, and silence the clutter.
  • Role editor: create roles and fine-tune capabilities so everyone sees exactly what they should.

For developers

Friendly on the surface. Serious underneath.

When you need to go beyond the UI, Phox Studio has clean programmatic access to everything it manages.

WPGraphQL

One checkbox adds a custom post type (fields included) to your GraphQL schema, ready for headless front ends.

Helper functions

Query relationships in both directions, fetch related items with their metadata, and read CCT data in your own templates.

Questions

Frequently asked

Quick answers to the things people ask most.

Do I need Breakdance to use Phox Studio?
Phox Studio is designed first and foremost for Breakdance, and that's where it shines, dynamic data, dedicated elements, admin pages, form actions, and builder workflow tools all plug straight in. Many core features (post types, taxonomies, fields, content types) work at the WordPress level too.
What's the difference between a Content Type and a Custom Post Type?
A custom post type lives in WordPress's shared posts and meta tables, great for editorial content. A Content Type (CCT) gets its own dedicated database table with real columns, which keeps large, structured datasets (bookings, members, inventory) fast and tidy. You can use both, and even relate them to each other.
How do relationships actually work?
Every connection is stored as its own record in a dedicated relationships table. That means links can target CCT items, posts, or users; carry their own metadata (like a role or a featured flag); keep a drag-to-reorder position; and be queried from either direction. Deleting an item cleans up all of its links automatically.
Can I replace ACF / CPT UI / a table plugin with this?
For most Breakdance sites, yes: Phox Studio covers custom post types, taxonomies, 25+ field types (including repeaters and flexible content), options pages, and data tables in one plugin, with one consistent UI.
Will my existing data survive plugin updates?
Yes. Content lives in your WordPress database, CCT data lives in its own tables, and the relationship system even migrates older relationship data automatically. Removing a field from a CCT also preserves its underlying column so nothing is lost.
Where do I buy it, and where do I get support?
Phox Studio is available from phox-elements.com, alongside the rest of the Phox family. Licensing, updates, and support are all handled there.
