At Integriti Studio, we helped one client streamline their WordPress site by removing outdated CPTs and fields—making the admin area cleaner, simpler, and easier to manage.
🚩 The Problem
- Old CPTs that were no longer active or useful
- Custom fields still showing up in editors, but not tied to any current template
- Editors overwhelmed by irrelevant options and messy interfaces
It was time for a cleanup.
🛠️ What We Did
Identified & Removed Unused CPTs
We audited all existing custom post types, confirmed which were obsolete, and safely removed them from the theme and plugin code.
Cleaned Up Outdated Custom Fields
All registered fields were reviewed. Unused or redundant fields were removed, especially those that made editing pages harder for the team.
Improved the Admin Experience
Post and page editors now see only the fields they need. That means fewer clicks, less confusion, and faster publishing.
Safe Testing & Rollout
Everything was tested in staging first—no surprises. Once confirmed, we deployed the clean version to the live site with zero disruption.
🎯 The Results
- A clean, user-friendly admin interface
- No more irrelevant fields or post types
- Easier, faster content updates
- Slight performance boost from reduced backend bloat
💡 Why Cleanup Makes a Difference
- Less clutter = fewer mistakes
- Better performance through fewer queries and a lighter database
- Easier maintenance for developers and editors
- Future-proof structure that’s ready for whatever’s next
