Used it to create custom post types on my site. Setup was quick & everything worked as expected. Makes managing CPTs much easier without coding. Really helpful plugin for WP users. Tnkz devs
CPT UI is the standard for managing post types in WordPress. It allows developers to extend WordPress capabilities without writing complex code.
To help the Persian community, I have translated 100% of the plugin and Readme.
As the PTE for this locale, I focused on using standard WordPress terminology (e.g., correct translation for “Slug”, “Taxonomy”, “Hierarchical”) to ensure the interface is intuitive for Iranian developers.
Thanks for this great plugin!

For the development of a new site, I have been using a combination of CPT UI and ACF. I have specifically chosen CPT UI for the management of Custom Post Types and Taxonomies whilst using ACF for the fields. I have tried out the ACF CPT and Taxonomy functionality and I like the user interface (to see a list of the created staff in a simple way etc) of ACF more, but I chose CPT UI because it is proven with years and it is portable. I did not want to get locked into ACF for everyhing.
Bad, really bad, really bad, WordPress is used by millions of people who have no idea how to program, but with this plugin you have to edit PHP… no, no, useless garbage. You can’t display the types of content you’ve created, you can’t do anything but act like an idiot for a while, until you get tired and delete it.
The Custom Post Type UI plugin is a wonderful asset to the web builders wishing to add custom post types to their websites! I highly recommend!
