too much code to perform a simple action

  • It is not necessary to register a new post type to perform a simple function of ads.txt. Unnecessary use of resources.

    Hi @felipebadr! We chose this route for a number of reasons, including the potential amount of content somebody might enter (the potential scenario where it’s too much to be stored or retrieved reliably from options), the ability to customize how posts and post content are stored and retrieved, and perhaps most importantly from the editor/site admin perspective, taking advantage of the built-in revision functionality. Revisions are not yet easily available in the UI because of some quirks in revision navigation that make it not ready for general usage yet, but it’s planned for the next release.

    If there are any specific things you feel we could do to further optimize the plugin, happy to hear about them. Otherwise, I’m sure there are other plugins out there that better fit what you’re looking for, which is the benefit of the WordPress ecosystem!

    Thinking about revisions is a good idea. I like a simpler and more lightweight plugin for this, but the plugin of yours is well done.
