I've already got a version of the plugin that does what I need it to do, it's not worth going into on here, but I don't need to do anything with post types. At the moment I'm trying to convert my plugin to be usable by other people, which is why I'm trying to build an options page. | |

In your case, a "post" would be a show, with feed url saved as post meta. Wordpress uses a post type internally for the nav menu system. Plugin examples are Gravity Forms, where each post is a form, with form fields saved as meta data, Advanced custom fields uses a post type to store field groups, etc.. You get the UI and the API to create, update, and query for free, and since it's native WP data, the export tool lets you export your data to other sites. | |
