<h4>Custom Post Type UI Extended</h4>
<p>CPTUI helps create custom content types, but displaying that content can be a whole new challenge. <a href="https://pluginize.com/plugins/custom-post-type-ui-extended/?utm_source=cptui-desription&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=wporg" rel="nofollow ugc">Custom Post Type UI Extended</a> was created to help with displaying your crafted content. <a href="https://pluginize.com/cpt-ui-extended-features/?utm_source=cptui-description-examples&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=wporg" rel="nofollow ugc">View our Layouts page</a> to see available layout examples with Custom Post Type UI Extended.</p>
<h4>Plugin development</h4>

Custom Post Type UI

Works well, but it's missing a number of CPT options: rest_namespace, capabilities, map_meta_cap, register_meta_box_cb, rewrite[feeds, pages, ep_mask], template, and template_lock. I realize these are not common, but it's a drag when you go to create your third CPT and realize you need to find a different solution that will accommodate one of the missing options. It's no good to have a few registered in CPTUI and a few by hand.

Good, but missing a bunch of options.


There is no documentation. In plugin description there is just a link to so called documentation that is just bunch of tutorial of doing specific stuff that are very scarce and targeted to people who already know how to use it. Nothing for first time users, to learn how to actually begin with plugin, or at least nothing that can be easily found.


One of the worst documented plugins I saw


Thank you very much for this amazing Plugin that serves us since years!
