Simple CPT

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 · 89% 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   For a non developer like me, all these CPT and custom taxonomies methods looked like an impossible challenge. But with this plugin I was able to transform my WordPress blog into a custom tailored data service in a few minutes! Works perfectly with the free ACF plugin for endless possibilities. Thank you for this free gem!

   I have no idea about coding and stuff and was reading on how I can create my own port types on my wordpress website. I then stumbled upon this little tool and with a few clicks I have now a custom website with my own data types! Simply amazing, thanks a lot!

   This plugin is simply neat and easy to use. It is lightweight and functional. It can save you lots of efforts to segregate your content (blogs, pages into specific purpose custom posts types. By using this, you can manage separate segments of your total audience and get them to read what precisely they should- for example – post related to music-lovers / mat-lovers and magic-tricks-lovers can be grouped separately. For example, a business directory website, I have a series of blogs for educating buyers and customers about frauds in market; and a separate series of articles to educate and train the small business owners. Without CPT, mutually these two audiences will not be interested in content meant for other segment. Great plugin by George.

   *THIS IS NOT FOR SUPPORT, ITS ONLY A REVIEW Directly after installing, it breakes my backend. I guess it’s still the BETA Version Some pretty amazing Mod has deleted my review (exactly the same message) with his word: “I have removed your review. Do not use reviews for support, problems/bug reports and features wishlist, open a topic in plugin support section instead.
