simpleDocs

What it does

SimpleDocs creates a documentation system inside your WordPress site without adding bloat. It auto-generates a documents custom post type and a doc-type taxonomy the moment it’s activated — no setup needed. Add your docs, categorize them, and the archive and single templates are ready.

It works with both classic and block (FSE) themes. If you switch themes, SimpleDocs regenerates the templates automatically. No reconfiguration, no broken layouts.

Features

• Auto-generates documents CPT and doc-type taxonomy on activation
• Prebuilt archive page with a clean card layout
• Custom sidebar injection on single document pages
• Full FSE theme support with auto-generated templates
• Templates regenerate automatically after theme switches
• Doc-type archive pages redirect to the first document in that category
• No JavaScript, modern CSS only
• Responsive grid layout on archive pages
• Four CSS variables for easy color customization
• Shortcodes for manual template or page builder use

Usage

After activation, go to Documents in your WordPress admin and start adding content. Use Document Types to categorize. Visit /documents/ for the archive, or use [simpledocs_archive] and [simpledocs_navigation] shortcodes if you’re building a custom template or using a page builder. Colors are controlled via four CSS variables you can override in your theme’s custom CSS or global styles.
