Post types are grouped under tabs by their source, so it’s easy to see what comes from where. If you don’t need some post types (e.g. “Portfolio” from a theme you’re not using, or “Testimonials” from a plugin), switch them off. Disabling hides the post type in admin and prevents it being used on the front end. **Why use it** – Keep the admin menu uncluttered – Reduce confusion for editors and clients – Lighten the site by disabling unused post types **Features** – Toggle any post type (core or custom) on/off – Tabs that group post types by source (Core, theme, plugin) – Clean card-based interface with instant AJAX switching – Counters for enabled, disabled and total – Safe to use — re-enable at any time **How it works** The plugin inspects where `register_post_type()` is called from and labels the source as Core, active theme/child theme, or a specific plugin name. ## Screenshots * [[ * Core tab showing CPTs and all other CPTs on the Wordpress installation. * [[ * Example: theme tab showing disabled CPTs. ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` or install via Plugins Add New. 2. Activate the plugin. 3. Go to **Settings CPT Toggle**. 4. Use the tabs to view sources; flip the switches to enable/disable post types. ## FAQ ### Does disabling delete any content? No. Content remains in the database. Re-enable the post type to access it again. ### Will permalinks need refreshing? Usually not. If you’ve changed a lot, visit **Settings Permalinks** and click ** Save** to flush rules. ### Some post types show under “Unknown”. Why? Occasionally a source can’t be inferred from the stack. Tell us the CPT slug and we’ll refine detection. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “CPT Toggle – Disable Custom Post Types” is open source software.
