Description
Issue Description
The current CPT creation uses a custom plugin that won’t see regular maintenance. It’s better to use a maintained plugin such as CMB2 and extended-CPTs etc.
Context
Phase 2 of Helphub will require greater capabilities that the current CPT plugin offers. It’ll make sense for us to fix the fundamentals before we move in deeper.

Define the required Phase 2 capabilities and migration scope before choosing an approach. Done means the fundamentals support those capabilities using a maintained solution.
