Custom Post Types, Custom Taxonomies, & Custom Fields

[sendhil]

There are existing APIs for editing custom fields in WP, we just need an interface for them. Since it's not used by the majority of users, probably best to keep this hidden by default.

My site is deeply based on the use of a custom post type + custom fields. I just can't manage my site with the WordPress default iOS App, as long as it allows me to manage only default posts and pages. Is there a route to make the necessary changes for the app to work with a custom post type + custom fields? How about sites that deeply rely on custom fields management through plugins such as ACF, Types, CMB2 etc?

+1. Now that Calypso has CPT support I'd love to see it come to the iOS app.

A recent app review (1 star) mentioned the lack of support for custom post types, in particular portfolios:

it is not easy to add and edit portfolio projects and media from the iOS app honestly not user friendly for artists without this feature i can edit pages blog posts but can't handle media and my portfolio projects without going to mobile safari browser this it a great app however without those abilities it is a bit of a fail ... those should be part of the apps publish bar for the users would totally give app 5 stars if those were part of the iOS app

A recent app review (4 stars) asks for custom post types:

Unlike the new WordPress.com experience this does not support custom post types, taxonomies, or meta fields. If this worked then it would be the best app for any blog. Unfortunately without this support it's annoying to bounce between Safari and this app.

Our client requested the ability to edit the CPTs we created with the iOS App. Found this thread while troubleshooting. Is this in the works, on the horizon, not happening? Would like to respond with an update from the team managing issues. Thanks in advance. ~Steve

A recent app review (4 stars) wanting to manage portfolio projects:

Why no love for the portfolio feature? Switched theme to Rebalance to better present my portfolio. Surprise: no way to handle portfolio-related matters through this app. Sigh
