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!
Great

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!

Thank you!
Plugin does its job, support is excellent
by cmerrick·8 years ago
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.
