20261 release

  1. Custom Post Type Maker 2.0.0Latest

    • New: Tools page (Post Types → Tools) with JSON export and import of definitions. Imports are saved as drafts unless you select “Publish”.
    • New: import your post types and taxonomies from Custom Post Type UI (read only; Custom Post Type UI is not changed).
    • New: “Get code” box on each definition and on the Tools page: PHP code that registers the same type without this plugin.
    • New: WP-CLI commands: wp cptm list, wp cptm export, wp cptm import, wp cptm code.
    • New post type options: Block Template, Template Lock, Embeddable (WordPress 6.8+), and a Custom capability type. Administrators get the custom capabilities automatically.
    • New taxonomy option: Sort.
    • New: optional data removal on uninstall (Tools page). Your posts and terms are never deleted.
    • Changed: the 16×16 menu icon size is no longer made for every upload; it is made only for the image you select as an icon.
    • Multisite: network activation now flushes the permalinks of every site.
    • Security: only administrators (manage_options) can view, create, edit or delete post type and taxonomy definitions. Before, Editors could reach these screens through a direct URL.
    • Security: the save handler checks the user’s capability, sanitizes every field, and accepts only known values for supports, built-in taxonomies and post types.
    • Security: all values on the admin screens are escaped on output. Stored data is read without unserialize() of objects.
    • Post type and taxonomy names are validated: lower-case letters, numbers, dashes and underscores, at most 20 (post types) or 32 (taxonomies) characters, and no reserved or already registered names.
    • New post type options: Show in Navigation Menus, Show in Admin Bar, REST Base, REST Namespace, Can Export, Delete With User, Archive Slug.
    • New taxonomy options: Public, Publicly Queryable, Show in Navigation Menus, Show in Tag Cloud, Show in Quick Edit, REST Base, Default Term.
    • Full, translatable label sets for custom post types and taxonomies (current WordPress labels).
    • Each post type and taxonomy is now registered once per request (before, more definitions caused repeated registrations).
    • Fixed: the list of “Other registered” post types and taxonomies showed your own definitions when you had more than 5.
    • Fixed: the plugin columns printed on the post lists of other post types.
    • Fixed: dead Changelog, Support and Vote links; untranslatable strings; “Seperate” typo.
    • Requires PHP 8.1 and WordPress 6.5 or later. Tested up to WordPress 7.1.
