Overview

The Custom Post Type Widgets plugin for WordPress is designed to enhance the functionality of your site by adding a variety of widgets tailored specifically for custom post types and taxonomies. Key features include displaying recent custom posts, organizing archives by custom post types, listing categories, showcasing recent comments, presenting tag clouds, and incorporating searchable forms—all filtered by the custom post type or taxonomy of your choice.

User sentiment analysis

Users find the plugin effective and time-saving, particularly when incorporating it as a widget. They appreciate its utility for displaying custom post types and its simplicity, paralleling default WordPress functionalities. Many users noted its reliable performance and ease of setup without extensive configurations. However, some drawbacks include its incompatibility with Gutenberg Blocks and inconsistent functionality with the Custom Post Type UI plugin. While some users reported seamless integration with CPT UI, others experienced issues where categories and archives did not filter as expected. Suggestions for improvement include adding CSS class options for the widget's read-more link and selecting heading tags for titles.

Está bien el plugin y funciona bien añadiéndolo como Widget, pero no aparece en los Bloques de Gutemberg. The plugin is fine and works well adding it as a Widget, but it does not appear in the Gutenberg Blocks. This topic was modified 1 week, 2 days ago by sergioot.

Was really surprised how rich this Widget Plugin works. I used it to showcase FAQ custom posts below on the related Page as Content. Fits perfect. Just tiny adapten in the Themplate to fit my Theme. Even multiple widgets work on the page. Little suggestion -if we could add some css class to the Read More Link on the widget -Select Tag H1,H2, H3 … for the title it would make it even better Thanks a Lot This topic was modified 3 years, 5 months ago by metaeditor.

Works perfectly. All I wanted was to list posts from my custom post type in a widget. In the same way that regular posts are listed by default. This plugin does the job. An earlier review says this does not work with the CPT UI plugin. That is not the case, my custom post type was made with CPT UI and it worked fine.
