Generic Custom Post Type

Creates a generic post type to be used for testing other plugins that rely on them.

Description

When creating plugins that need to interact with third-party custom post types, you actually need to have at least one custom post type available.

Since not all projects include custom post types and since it can take extra time to register a custom post type, this plugin aims to create a generic post type that allows you to install and activate the plugin to have a custom post type available.

The plugin:

• supports a minimal level of functionality for a custom post type,
• offers arguments in generic-custom-post-type.php in tm_load_generic_cpt()

This plugin is created for other WordPress developers.

FAQ

1. What's the purpose of the plugin?

While working on Easier Excerpts, we needed a way to easily test the functionality against other custom post types that may exist in a WordPress installation.

This plugin stemmed from us having the need to quickly create custom post types to test this functionality.

2. Is this plugin supported?

I will try to keep this plugin updated as issues are presented; however, the plugin is open for pull requests.

It's primarily used as a way to easily create custom post types in your own installation (see the FAQ above). If you're a WordPress developer, then you should have little trouble getting this up and going.

If you have questions, please don't hesitate to let me know (specifically, see the next FAQ).
