  • Superb Plugin

    The gold standard of custom post type plugins. PTU is intuitive and easy to configure, works flawlessly with any theme, and follows the native WordPress UI. Where the plugin really shines though is when it's used in conjunction with the authors premium Total theme. Dynamic post type templates and archives, post cards, related posts, image galleries, and custom fields...everything ties together giving you confidence a clients requests can be easily met. Also, the support provided by AJ is above anything else, outstanding. I really can't recommend his work highly enough.

  • Great Custom Post Plugin

    I have found this custom post type plugin to be extrememly useful and easy to use. Goes well with the Total Theme (since it is from the same author) but also works well with other themes. This is a must have for advanced development. Thank you!

  • Very well done, no clutter, perfect.

    Of course it integrates well with the authors premium theme (perfect!) but also consider it for your own work with CPTs. No clutter, no performance drain. Export of config and types can be done via the core WordPress tools.

  • Thorough and Easy to Use

    This plugin has made adding a custom post type and its taxonomy very easy. WPExplorer hasn't missed a single thing. Plus, there's an explanation for each item which really takes the guesswork out of creating a custom post type or taxonomy. I really appreciate this after having struggled in the past with a custom post type generator. I also use your fabulous Total theme and this plugin picks up even more settings from it, which makes it even better. Thanks so much, AJ & WPExplorer for a terrific plugin!
