  • Simplifies a complex task

    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!

  • Awesome tool!

    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!

  • It is fantastic plugin, easy to use

    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.
