For instance, if you run a music site you could create a review post type (based on the post). If you run a food blog you could create a post type for recipes. If you use More Fields in addition to More Types you could for instance add an input field where you put the ingredients and another where you input cooking time. With More Types you can: * Create additional post types * Allow different WordPress User roles to have different rights to review, save, and publish a specific post type (even built in post types) * List posts in specific menus in the WordPress admin * Set a range of editing capabilities of the post type based on user level More Types is part of a suite of plugins created to enhance the functionality of a vanilla WordPress installation. With More Fields you can create additional input fields for easier management of Custom fields, with More Taxonomies you can create additional taxonomies besides Categories and Tags. More Types works without the other plugins but interacts with them nicely. This plugins was born out of the development work done for [Dagensskiva](http://dagensskiva.com/), [Dagensbok](http://dagensbok.com/) and user requests. ### Upgrading from More Fields 1.x?
