Overview

Create plain text files through WordPress using a custom post type.

This came about because I needed a way to edit a JavaScript file on a blog that’s
part of a multi site network setup, and I didn’t want to do a child theme for

FileZilla.

If you select either CSS or JavaScript as the file type you’ll have the option
for the plugin to automatically link to the file within your page header, assuming
your theme supports the wp_head callback. The links are created using either
wp_register_script / wp_enqueue_script or wp_enqueue_style / wp_enqueue_style.
