No Custom Post Type support in starter (free) version
By saksaksak on November 8, 2025
I can understand that the developers need to earn to continue developing good plugins. And I understand that you must pay more for extra features like styling, etc. But not supporting a common functionality like Custom Post Types in the starter (free) version is a show stopper for me. I understand it exists in the paid version but on the developer's website this distinction was missing in the Free & Pro Version Comparison chart (developer said it will be corrected). I generally test with the starter (free versions) and often but the paid ones. But at least I should be able to test in my environment the minimum usable functionality...
Excellent!
