speeds up development and has nice user-friendly UI. It was a nice experience working with this plugin.

The plugin is easy to use, lot of options to choose from.You have the option to copy code and put it in the functions.php file, if you have one CPT to manage. You can disable the plugin after that.I have a lot of CPT to manage, so i prefer to keep the settings in the plugin.Thanks a lot to all developers who worked on this plugin, and thank you for making it free.

This plugin has become unnecessary since ACF (Advanced Custom Fields) added support for managing custom post types and taxonomies. ACF has a more modern user interface, and you can even easily import post types and taxonomies created with CPT UI, including their settings, into ACF.
