    Hi there,

    I would like to create a CPT that's ONLY accessible from the backend of the website.

    Meaning, no frontend posts, no archives, no rss feeds, search capabilities. If a user goes to the cpt slug url, they should get a 404.

    It's for internal data entry and we can't have any of the data visible to users.

    Is this possible with Metabox?

    Thanks!

    Hello,

    The plugin MB Custom Post Type helps you to register the custom post type with UI instead of using the WordPress function register_post_type().
    So the question should be "is this possible with WordPress?"
    Yes, it is possible. For example: You can set the argument 'public' => false and 'exclude_from_search' => true to remove frontend posts and exclude them from search.
