Custom Post Type Toggle gives you a clear overview of every registered post type on your site — whether they come from WordPress core, your theme, or installed plugins. Post types are grouped under tabs by their source, so it’s easy to see what comes from where.
If you don’t need some post types (e.g. “Portfolio” from a theme you’re not using, or “Testimonials” from a plugin), switch them off. Disabling hides the post type in admin and prevents it being used on the front end.
Why use it 
– Keep the admin menu uncluttered 
– Reduce confusion for editors and clients 
– Lighten the site by disabling unused post types
Features 
– Toggle any post type (core or custom) on/off 
– Tabs that group post types by source (Core, theme, plugin) 
– Clean card-based interface with instant AJAX switching 
– Counters for enabled, disabled and total 
– Safe to use — re-enable at any time
How it works 
The plugin inspects where <code>register_post_type()</code> is called from and labels the source as Core, active theme/child theme, or a specific plugin name.

CPT Toggle – Disable Custom Post Types

Enable or disable any post type. Tabs group post types by source (Core, theme, plugin) for a tidy WordPress admin.

For those times when you’re too lazy to visit the Plugins screen to toggle a plugin on or off.
It’s also helpful when troubleshooting:
<blockquote>
This simple plugin is awesome, especially when it comes to diagnosing problems. One of the tenants of troubleshooting WordPress is to disable every plugin and re-enable them one by one in a process of elimination.
Generally, this is accomplished by having the plugin management page in one browser tab with the front end of the website in another. When a plugin is deactivated, switch browser tabs and refresh to see if the problem disappears. Depending on the speed of your site and the number of plugins installed, this can be a cumbersome experience.

Plugin Toggle

Simply yet effective. Very useful plugin. Thanks for developing this plugin is excellent.

One of the most needed plugin for the theme developers


I found this looking for a way to toggle Query Monitor to only use when debugging speed issues, since Query Monitor is a best of a plugin, an you don't want it running all the time, since it does cause significant Admin slowdown while using.



Same of many other Admin or infrequent use plugins. You want them installed, ready for occasional use, but not in day to day operations. 



Other's useful to know and toggle: Code Profiler, Black Bar, Anti-Malware Security and Brute-Force Firewall, Wider Admin Menu (sometimes overlaps some plugins not recognising this tweak), User Switching, Index WP MySWL for Speed, and many other occasional use plugins.



Thank you for your service. Another great example of how Wordpress's vast community hive-mind experiences and solves. 👍



PS: Be even more amazing if you could make it work with the other very helpful "Plugin Groups".


Genius! Essential for rapid development & testing plugins

Quickly toggle plugin activation status from the toolbar.
