Reliable Plugin

hohumtiddleypom 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

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

Mysterious plugin

Unwanted Life January 26, 2024 6 replies

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
