No Support, and Plugin Doesn’t Work With CPT
by Michael·2 years ago·2 replies
I’d hate to leave a negative review, but the owner turned off the support function and provides no method to contact. The Plugin Works, but it doesn’t respect Custom Post Types. All Stickies in the Posts section become stickies in all other custom post types. So in our case a Posts Sticky is now showing in our CPT “Forums”
