Reliable Plugin

By hohumtiddleypom on May 13, 2024

The Custom Post Type UI plugin is reliable and is constantly updated. The User Interface means I do not have to write PHP everytime I need to edit a Post Type.

Easy to use

Couldn't live without it.

Useless after ACF update

By Pavel Leontiev (vertopolkalf) on March 7, 2024

Advanced Custom Fields do the same better and have much prettier design

Mysterious plugin

By Unwanted Life (unwantedlife) on January 26, 2024

I did not have any real issues with this plugin until it decided to create an additional and new plugin without my knowledge or consent. When I tried to talk to the developer about this, they simply didn't care or want to get to the bottom of how and why this happened.

Got to the bottom of the mystery, it's just a shame I had to deal with someone that refuses to be help and was rude about it first

Works like a charm

By jbslettebak on December 20, 2023

I've used this plugin for several years without issue. It's easy to register and view your custom post types and custom taxonomies, and works exactly as it's supposed to. Support response is very fast and helpful, too.

Great all around, keep up the good work.
