TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for WordPress site owners and developers using custom post types who want a visual icon instead of the default. It solves the lack of distinct post type icons by letting users assign Font Awesome icons via a function or a global variable.

  • Add Font Awesome icons to post types
  • Hundreds of icon choices
  • pti_set_post_type_icon() function
  • Set icons via global $pti_icons array
  • GPL-compatible icons
  • Extracted from SuperCPT 0.2+

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Post Type Icons

For now, yes. The next version will come with a GUI.
Not at all! If you want more functionality, check out SuperCPT, which helps you create custom post types, custom taxonomies, and add meta boxes.
Sure thing! The plugin pretty much just adds CSS to the admin which get added to the document head. Move those to your theme/plugin (not your main style.css since this is the admin panel, you'll need an admin-only CSS file). You can leave the paths the same if you don't plan on uninstalling the plugin (you can still deactivate the plugin). If you want to uninstall it, you'll have to copy the fonts to your theme/plugin and change the paths in the CSS.
Yes. Add add_filter( 'pti_plugin_show_admin_menu', '__return_false' ); in your theme/plugin.
