Incompaticle with 4.7.2

By toolsavvy on February 13, 2017

Using WP v4.7.2, this plugin causes the error “Invalid Post Type” when bulk deleting posts, bulk editing posts or searching posts in the admin. Therefore, you cannot perform these functions unless you disable the plugin. It's unfortunate because this plugin does exactly what I need and I cannot find another plugin for this function. However I may still continue to use it and just disable it when I need to perform those functions in the admin. This is why I gave it 2 stars instead of 1. I guess this is to be expected when a plugin hasn't been updated for 2 years.

Great Plugin and Developer

By (blueyonder) on September 3, 2016

The plugin works great, but I had a few more things that I was hoping that could be done with it so I sent an email over to the developer. I was very impressed that the developer took the time to not only email me back, but send me an updated plugin and help me accomplish everything that I needed to do. Wonderful! Thank you!
