Custom Post Type Toggle<\/strong> gives you a clear overview of every registered post type on your site \u2014 whether they come from WordPress core, your theme, or installed plugins. Post types are grouped under tabs by their source, so it\u2019s easy to see what comes from where.<\/p>\n\n

If you don\u2019t need some post types (e.g. \u201cPortfolio\u201d from a theme you\u2019re not using, or \u201cTestimonials\u201d from a plugin), switch them off. Disabling hides the post type in admin and prevents it being used on the front end.<\/p>\n\n

Why use it<\/strong>\n- Keep the admin menu uncluttered\n- Reduce confusion for editors and clients\n- Lighten the site by disabling unused post types<\/p>\n\n

Features<\/strong>\n- Toggle any post type (core or custom) on\/off\n- Tabs that group post types by source (Core, theme, plugin)\n- Clean card-based interface with instant AJAX switching\n- Counters for enabled, disabled and total\n- Safe to use \u2014 re-enable at any time<\/p>\n\n

How it works<\/strong>\nThe plugin inspects where register_post_type()<\/code> is called from and labels the source as Core, active theme\/child theme, or a specific plugin name.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Upload the plugin folder to \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> or install via Plugins \u2192 Add New.<\/li>\n
  2. Activate the plugin.<\/li>\n
  3. Go to Settings \u2192 CPT Toggle<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  4. Use the tabs to view sources; flip the switches to enable\/disable post types.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
    \n

    Does disabling delete any content?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    No. Content remains in the database. Re-enable the post type to access it again.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Will permalinks need refreshing?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Usually not. If you\u2019ve changed a lot, visit Settings \u2192 Permalinks<\/strong> and click Save<\/strong> to flush rules.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Some post types show under \u201cUnknown\u201d. Why?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Occasionally a source can\u2019t be inferred from the stack. Tell us the CPT slug and we\u2019ll refine detection.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
