The plugin was great before last updates.

  • I used to love this plugin, I made the update on many websites and all of them broke, so disappointing.
    The new UI is way worse than the old one, with huge UI-UX problems. Now there is no way to see all your Types and Taxonomies at a glance.

    I’m hoping the breakage has since been resolved, but appreciate anyone letting me help figure out what went wrong with their own cases.

    I have ideas to amend the last part, though it likely won’t be something rolled back into the core plugin itself at the moment. It may in the future if enough people desire it.

    Would also love to hear your feedback regarding the UI-UX issues, so that I can plan a path forward there and make things better.

    Hi Michael,

    First of all, thank you for the great work and sorry for the bad review.

    The UI changes made it so hard to access existing post types and to modify them.

    – We no global view over all post types and taxonomies.
    – Now we need 5 clicks to edit an existing post type, it is wrong ??
    – Tabs (Add New/Edit ) aren’t necessary and is a waste of time.
    – The dropdown menu to select post types is not better than a simple list with “edit, delete, add” boutons direct on it.
    – The accordion menus for labels and settings are way worse than simple inline sections where you can just scroll down and see everything quite fast.

    I know you are trying to make improvements but this is a quite common mistake designing interfaces. For this kind of plugin and amount of data you don’t need to organize the content with dropdown menus, tabs and accordions, it is a waste of time and bad UX.
    Just keep it simple and easily accessible.

    Anyway, thanks for the reply.
    Cheers.

    Taking down this feedback and will do what I can to evolve and work on the UI/UX for future versions. Hopefully we can win you back ??

    Would you like to try the revised UI that I’ve been tinkering with and provide some feedback? Let me know and I can provide a link to the correct download.

    Here you go Marcio, https://github.com/WebDevStudios/custom-post-type-ui/archive/1.1-ui-simplified.zip

    Should have both a more streamlined UI for selecting and editing, and more full view of settings for both. It will also have a listing again of registered types/taxonomies like I noted you missed in the 1.0.x version.

    Any thoughts to share regarding this Marcio? If you could please, either create an issue on the GitHub repo with your thoughts, or if anything a support thread and I’ll see them one way or another.
