Custom Post Types and Custom Fields creator – WCK

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 · 83% 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 declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   Using an AWS marketplace WordPress install, I kept running into issues. Went through support channels and got some updates, but this wasn’t a good solution for me.

   Pretty awesome plugin. I like the idea to combine 3 major features in one plugin: Custom post types Custom fields Front-end constructor (Pro) But 2 things are missing: Custom Meta Boxes default order. I created two for my custom post – one with repeater and one without it. Yea, I can change their order inside a post when editing, but it would be nice to have that default ordering feature. Gallery. Now you can create a gallery even with free version using repeater and “upload” field. But it’s unconvinient to pick one image, then press “Add Entry” then repeat this over and over. Would be nice to have “gallery” field type so you could pick multiple images from a library. This topic was modified 4 years, 1 month ago by heavylogic.

   The plugin is well intentioned but needs careful and clean programming. After registering fields and completely removing the meta box, the slugs remain dirty in the database, making it impossible to register them again. It takes time to enter the database and delete them by hand – IF you know how to do this – then be careful when naming fields and using the plugin. You can end up with “customers”, “customers_02”, “customers_03” and so on if you need to recreate and refine your meta boxes. Summary: A simple rollback cleanup in the field creation process would resolve the issue and avoid future headaches.

   There are quite a lot plugins on the market for this task, but no one is doing a better job then wck. It is simple on one hand and really versatile on the other. Does what it should with very handy features like frontend posting and the swift templates for custom CPT archives and single posts. This offers all the flexibility and creativity you need to build unique websites with little effort. Really great, absolutely suggest that.

   Few years ago field slug could be named same when in different field groups. After one of updates this changed and the one thing you can do is to change field slug, which means losing content.
