This plugin hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.

Advanced Post Manager

Description

This is a tool for developers who want to turbo-charge their custom post type listings with metadata, taxonomies, and more. An intuitive interface for adding (and saving) complex filtersets is provided, along with a drag-and-drop interface for choosing and ordering columns to be displayed. Metaboxes are also automatically generated for all your metadata-entry needs.

  • Add columns to the post listing view
  • Filter post listings by custom criteria
  • Easily add metaboxes to custom post types
  • Automatically add registered taxonomies to post listings
  • Sort by post metadata

See docs/documentation.html in the plugin directory for full documentation.

The team at Modern Tribe stands by our work and offers light support every Wednesday to the community via the WordPress.org support forums. Feel free to ask a question if you’re having a problem with implementation or if you find bugs.

SUBMITTING PATCHES

If you’ve identified a bug and want to submit a patch, we’d welcome it at our GitHub page for Advanced Post Manager. Simply cue up your proposed patch as a pull request, and we’ll review as part of our monthly release cycle and merge into the codebase if appropriate from there. (If a pull request is rejected, we’ll do our best to tell you why). Users whose pull requests are accepted will receive credit in the plugin’s changelog. For more information, check out the readme at our GitHub page. Happy coding!

FAQ

Why doesn’t anything happen when I activate the plugin?

This plugin is for developers. Nothing will happen until you write some code to take advantage of the functionality it offers.

Reviews

December 23, 2020
This plugin doesn't do anything. It says you have to install it and then get a developer to write some code to make it work. That means this isn't a plugin, it's just a useless piece of code. The plugin repository should only be for plugins that actually add some functionality to your WordPress website. This "plugin" is just taking up space and confusing people. Did the developers just get bored and decided not to finish their plugin? It should be removed from the plugin repository!
July 19, 2019
A bit misleading as it doesn't do anything without coding it into your site. And it does mention this, but only after you have spent time installing and looking around. The interface as seen in the screenshots is not available by default. Why not just make a version that attaches itself to your theme too? Developers will know how to change and edit.

Really great! Saves a lot of time for developers. Really easy and efficient to use. I wish some more people would use it and publish their code. We used it for Woocommerce and Tribes Event Calendar.

Thank you so much for this plugin, it was the perfect way to manage a custom post type by sorting custom fields...This way I can choose which posts I want very quickly. Good documentation and very simple to use, clean design! THANKS!!
