Post Types Unlimited

Post Types Unlimited is an easy way to add custom post types and custom taxonomies to your WordPress site (the right way). The plugin works with any theme and is easily translatable. With Post Types Unlimited you can:

• Create custom post types.
• Create custom taxonomies.

Post Types Unlimited makes use of core WordPress functionality for the admin screens and post type, taxonomy registration. This means the plugin is fast, slim and uses the familiar WordPress UI.

Additionally you won’t find any upsell or advertisements in the plugin because there isn’t a “Pro” version. It’s the perfect plugin for adding post types and/or taxonomies to any site (including your client sites) without worrying about extra bloat or annoying ads.

The design of your post types and taxonomies created with the Post Types Unlimited plugin are controlled by your theme. The plugin doesn’t do any hacking or advanced modifications to your templates and thus works great with ANY theme.

If you are using our amazing Total WordPress Theme you will have access to many extra settings that will give you full control over the display of your post types and taxonomies.

This plugin doesn’t have any upsells, banners or other marketing strategies. This makes it perfect for use with any site, including client websites.

1. Upload ‘post-types-unlimited’ to the ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. Go to Post Types to add new custom post types
4. Go to Post Types > Taxonomies to add new custom taxonomies

1.2.8

• Fixed issue where group options would not save (such as the Card select in the Total theme integration).

1.2.7

• Added Sanitization to the automatic name generation for post types and taxonomies when creating new items. This ensures that only valid characters are included, and enforces proper length restrictions.

1.2.6

• Fixed issue with a file not being uploaded to SVN.

1.2.5

• Updated the plugin so if ACF is enabled, the plugin will check whether any post types or taxonomies are defined in ACF. If none are found, it will hide the ACF post type and taxonomy dashboards to reduce bloat. This check is stored in a new option called ptu_disable_acf_post_types, allowing the plugin to perform the query only once and rely on the saved option for better performance. Deactivating the plugin will delete this option and trigger the check again when reactivated.
