Custom Post Type Maker

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 81% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Must-have plug-in for creating custom post types and custom taxonomies! I use it on almost every project in combination with Oxygen Builder and it just works flawless. Keep up the good work!

   Well, this just worked. 🙂 Couldn’t be happier. Everything shows up correctly, things are rolling along – my project advances. I’d pay for a pro version – but please, make a perpetual license (make it pricy enough to cover ~4 years of yearly licenses so you’ll have yourself covered), if you enter the premium-plugin market! – JP

   Been using this plugin for a while and it works like a charm. Not bloated with ads or other crap and does its job! Thank you!

   I’ve used a couple of CPT plugins and this one works well, is simple to use, and doesn’t conflict with any of the (many) other plugins I’m using. Best of all when I discovered a problem, I got excellent support from the author with a new update fixing the issue immediately.

   i particularly liked the display of post types and taxonomies registered by a third party. It’s straight to the point and effective.

   Absolutely perfect if you cannot wait to create a different “post type” away from the WP default.
