Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Add Post Type Instructions

I wrote this plugin to provide simple assistance for my clients as they publish content. With just a quick look at any metabox, site managers (authors, editors...) can see a clear description of what will happen when they add content to that metabox. I have used this to convey the ideal image size for featured images, explain what tags are, or even add default content to any post type. I have also used this to add consice instructions immediately below the title field on any post type. Hopefully, it will benefit both site admins and site managers.
Yes. This plugin can be either network activated or activated individually for each site on a network.
Simply delete this plugin to remove all data associated with it. Deactivating the plugin will keep all plugin data saved in the database, but will not remove it.
