There are self rising, all purpose, rye, corn, oat, potato, cake, bread, just to name a few.
The above answer is true, however in most recipes you cannot simply substitute wheat flour with rye/corn/oat etc... because they all have very different properties. With speciality flours (such as those above) it is best to only use them in recipes that are designed for use with them. For example, rye is quite heavy, gluten free and has a distinctive taste. This makes it unsuitable for most sweet goods, and goods that require shaping (such as biscuits) due to the gluten free nature of rye flour. Oat flour is much heavier than wheat flour, and also absorbs more water. It results in hard, dense goods when used in standard baking recipes. Potato flour is also gluten free; doughs made with gluten flour are essentially the same texture as mashed potato.

Why should no more than half the all purpose flour be replaced with whole grain flour when adjusting a recipe?
If you use all whole grain wheat flour, you might get away with it, but it would be much heavier and coarser in texture. There are many whole grain flours that are not wheat flour. You need the gluten in wheat flour to make the structure in whatever you are making. Most other flours if not all of them do not have any gluten in them. What you are making cannot rise if it doesn't have anything to build the structure with.
