SiteNivo is a WordPress custom fields and custom post type toolkit for building structured content without writing code.

Create custom post types, custom taxonomies, custom fields (field groups / meta boxes), options pages, and admin columns from one clean admin UI. Ideal if you want CPT + fields in a single plugin instead of juggling separate tools.

Why SiteNivo?

All-in-one content toolkit — custom post types, taxonomies, custom fields, options pages, and admin columns together
No-code admin builders — register CPTs and taxonomies, then add field groups with location rules
Developer-ready — use sn_get_field() / sn_the_field() in themes; export CPT/taxonomy PHP when you need portable code
Site tools included — Maintenance Mode, Coming Soon, Import/Export, WP Reset, URL Replace, Permalink Manager, Redirections, SMTP, Header & Footer, Visitor Tracking (cookie-free), Social Buttons, Security, Disable Comments, Classic Editor, Classic Widgets, Duplicate Post, Download Theme & Plugin, Rollback, SVG support, and useful settings

Hierarchical (page-like) or flat (post-like) structure
Archives and rewrite settings

Custom Taxonomies

Custom Fields & Meta Boxes (Field Groups)

Build custom fields and field groups that appear as meta boxes on posts, pages, taxonomies, users, and options pages — with AND/OR location rules.

Field types included:

Basic: Text, Textarea, Email, URL, Password, Number, Range, Color, Select, Checkbox, Date, Time, Date Time, WYSIWYG, oEmbed, Link
Media: Image, File, Gallery
Relational: Post Object, Relationship, Taxonomy, User, Page Link
Maps: Google Map, OpenStreetMap

Options Pages

Create WordPress options pages (global settings screens) and attach any field group for site-wide options.

Admin Columns

Add custom admin columns to post list tables and map them to your SiteNivo custom fields.

Code Generator

Export custom post types and taxonomies as clean register_post_type() / register_taxonomy() PHP — no SiteNivo dependency at runtime.

URL Replace

Search and replace URLs across the full WordPress database (posts, options, meta, and other text columns), with serialized data handled safely.

Free: run a full-database URL replace anytime.
Pro Version: replace history is stored so you can roll back a previous replace if needed (Coming Soon In Pro Version).

Permalink Manager

Set a custom URI for any post, page, or public custom post type — without changing the whole site permalink structure.

Edit-screen Permalink Manager box with live URL preview
Choose which post types are supported from SiteNivo Permalink Manager
Visitors hitting the old WordPress permalink get a 301 redirect to your custom URI
List of all customized URIs on the module page, plus Flush permalinks

SMTP (Email)

Configure how WordPress sends email from SiteNivo SMTP.

Default — WordPress / PHP mail() (no SMTP override)
Other SMTP — any custom host (cPanel, transactional SMTP, etc.)
Common providers (Free) — Gmail, Outlook / Microsoft 365, SendGrid, Mailgun, Amazon SES, Brevo, and Zoho Mail with SMTP host presets
From Email / From Name and optional Force From
Send Test Email to verify delivery

SMTP passwords are saved only for administrators, never printed back in the admin HTML, and left blank means “keep the existing password.”

Pro Version: rarer branded mailers, Email Log, and advanced connection testing (Coming Soon In Pro Version).

Import / Export

Migrate custom post types, taxonomies, field groups, options pages, admin columns, and redirections between sites with JSON.

Maintenance Mode & Coming Soon

Show a branded Maintenance Mode or Coming Soon page with built-in templates while you build or launch.

WP Reset & Settings

WP Reset — selectively reset posts, comments, terms, media, users, transients, theme mods, or plugin options. Complete Site Reset is available in the Pro Version.
Settings (Free) — Classic Editor, Classic Widgets, Duplicate Post, Visitor Tracking, Download Theme & Plugin, Rollback, Disable Core / Theme / Plugin Updates, Favicon (Site Icon), safe SVG uploads, Performance-related settings, security toggles, Google Maps API key, and uninstall cleanup. Settings are organized in tabs (General, Media, Performance, Security, Admin UI, Integrations, Maintenance).

Classic Widgets restores the classic (non-block) Widgets screen via WordPress’s use_widgets_block_editor filter — toggle it under SiteNivo Settings General.

Duplicate Post adds a Duplicate row action and Bulk actions option for posts, pages, and public custom post types (creates drafts). Enable it under SiteNivo Settings General. Copying SiteNivo custom field values when duplicating is a Pro Version feature.

Visitor Tracking can be enabled under SiteNivo Settings General — see the Visitor Tracking section below for full details.

Download Theme & Plugin

Download any installed theme or plugin as a ZIP from the WordPress admin — useful for backups, moving a theme/plugin to another site, or keeping a local copy.

Appearance Themes — open a theme’s details modal and use Download next to Customize / Menus
Plugins All Plugins — use the Download link next to Activate / Deactivate on each plugin row
Creates a ZIP of that theme or plugin folder (ready to install elsewhere)

Enable it under SiteNivo Settings General Download Theme & Plugin. When the toggle is Off, the Download actions are hidden.

Rollback

Roll plugins, themes, or WordPress core back to a previous WordPress.org version (classic rollback style).

Enable under SiteNivo Settings General Rollback
Plugins: Rollback link on plugin list rows (WordPress.org plugins only)
Themes: Rollback on the theme details modal (WordPress.org themes only)
Core: roll back WordPress from the Settings General Rollback card (not the Updates screen)
Choose a version, confirm, and SiteNivo installs that package from WordPress.org

When the toggle is Off, Rollback actions are hidden.

Disable Updates

Three independent toggles under SiteNivo Settings General let you disable WordPress core, theme, and plugin updates separately. Each toggle fully blocks update notices, automatic updates, and manual Update actions for that type.

Disabling updates does not block installing new themes or plugins, and does not affect SiteNivo Rollback.

Social Buttons

Add floating contact buttons from SiteNivo Social Buttons (below Visitor Tracking).

Channels: WhatsApp, Phone Call, Email, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, Custom Link — enable any subset (even just two)
Optional custom icons via the Media Library (defaults provided)
Position left or right; show on desktop and/or mobile
Show on all pages, or limit to posts / pages
Style: circle or square, size, gap, offsets, colors, border, shadow, hover
Live admin preview is reserved for SiteNivo Pro (hooks are ready for Pro)

Security

Harden common WordPress attack surface from SiteNivo Security (below Social Buttons).

Block sensitive files — deny public access to install.php, setup-config.php, debug.log, readme.html, and license.txt (Apache .htaccess when writable, plus PHP fallback)
Disable XML-RPC and remove the X-Pingback header
Disable theme & plugin file editor (DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT when not already defined)
Hide WP identity — remove generator meta, blank RSS/Atom signatures, strip ?ver= from scripts/styles, and remove RSD + WLW manifest links
Login lockout — after 5 failed attempts per IP within 15 minutes, show a generic “too many attempts” message
Hide login error detail with a customizable generic message on wp-login.php so usernames are harder to enumerate
Optional: block application passwords for non-admins
Visitor Tracking can ignore known scanner / probe paths so logs stay clean

Pitch: stops the usual automated WordPress attacks.

Disable Comments

Turn off comments where you don’t need them from SiteNivo Disable Comments (below Security).

Disable Comments — closes new comments on selected content types; blocks submissions, comment feeds, comment-reply scripts, and comment XML-RPC methods (does not delete existing comments)
Hide existing comments — optionally hide approved comments on the frontend for selected types
Remove Comments Menu — hides Comments from the admin menu, admin bar, dashboard widget, and related metaboxes; blocks direct admin URLs
Disable Comments REST API — removes /wp/v2/comments endpoints and blocks REST inserts
Disable Trackbacks — closes trackbacks/pingbacks on selected types
Apply To — Posts, Pages, Products (when WooCommerce is active), and other public Custom Post Types

Redirections

Manage 301 / 302 redirects from SiteNivo Redirections (below Permalink Manager).

Add, edit, enable/disable, and delete redirect rules (exact path match)
Optional ignore query string when matching (on by default)
404 Log — see broken URLs visitors hit and create a redirect in one click
Backup / migrate redirect rules via SiteNivo Import / Export (JSON)
Bulk enable, disable, or delete selected redirects

Favicon

Set your site favicon from SiteNivo Settings Media. SiteNivo uses WordPress Site Icon (same as Appearance Customize Site Identity).

Required size: square image at least 512×512 pixels (PNG or JPG recommended)
Select / change / remove from the Media tab, then Save Changes
Works on the frontend automatically via WordPress core

Header & Footer

Add tracking and analytics snippets from SiteNivo Header & Footer (below SMTP).

Header scripts — output on wp_head (GA, GTM, meta tags, pixels)
Footer scripts — output on wp_footer
Editors use WordPress core CodeMirror (wp_enqueue_code_editor)
Only users with manage_options can save; snippets print on the frontend only

Visitor Tracking

Log public pageviews with cookie-free, server-side tracking from SiteNivo Visitor Tracking (below Header & Footer).

Visitors are never asked to allow cookies for this feature — nothing is stored in the browser.

Enable under SiteNivo Settings General Visitor Tracking (tracking starts only when On)
Visit log with search and pagination; open a row for the detail panel
Details include city, region, country, postal code, timezone, ISP, IP address, visitor token, user agent, page URL, and referrer
Extra geo fields when available (organization, AS, coordinates, mobile / proxy / hosting flags)
Timestamps are stored in UTC and shown in your site’s WordPress timezone
Optional IP geolocation via ip-api.com (see External Services); private/local IPs are logged without a geo lookup

For Developers

Read field values in your theme:

sn_get_field( 'field_key', $post_id );
sn_the_field( 'field_key', $post_id );
sn_get_field( 'field_key', 'option' );

Works with post meta, options pages, user meta, and term meta.

External Services

SiteNivo works without external services by default. Optional features may contact third parties only when you use them:

Google Map field — Google Maps JavaScript API / Places API when a Maps API key is saved in Settings. Terms · Privacy
OpenStreetMap field — Leaflet is bundled locally; map tiles / geocoding may use OpenStreetMap-compatible providers and Nominatim. OSM copyright · Privacy
oEmbed field — uses WordPress core oEmbed (may contact the URL’s provider, e.g. YouTube).
SMTP / Email — when you choose an SMTP mailer, WordPress sends mail through the SMTP host you configure (for example smtp.gmail.com, smtp.sendgrid.net, or your own server). SiteNivo does not relay mail through SiteNivo servers; credentials stay in your WordPress database and are only used to authenticate with your chosen host.
Rollback — when you roll back a plugin, theme, or WordPress core, SiteNivo contacts WordPress.org APIs and downloads packages from downloads.wordpress.org / wordpress.org only (the version you select). API · Privacy
Visitor Tracking — when enabled, SiteNivo may look up a visitor’s IP with ip-api.com (free HTTP JSON endpoint) to enrich the visit log with city, region, country, ISP, and related fields. Only the visitor IP is sent for geolocation; no cookies are set. Free tier is HTTP-only and rate-limited (non-commercial use per ip-api terms). Docs · Terms
