No built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.

Adds a configurable Content Types panel to the WordPress admin bar. The panel gives editors and administrators quick access to enabled post types and supported content-management integrations without relying on WordPress's native nested admin-bar submenu behavior.

Features

  • Custom click-enabled admin-bar panel
  • No default post type selection when the panel opens
  • Enabled public post types listed in a compact left-side panel
  • Contextual actions for All, My, and Add New items
  • Uses each post type's admin menu icon when available
  • Optional feature links for ACF, Meta Box, and WPCodeBox when those plugins are active
  • Settings screen to remove the default Posts admin UI, hide the WordPress + New menu, choose visible post types, and choose visible feature items
  • Keyboard support for opening, closing, moving through content types, and selecting actions
  • Plugin settings link anchored at the bottom of the Content Types panel

Requirements

  • WordPress 6.9.4 or newer
  • Tested up to WordPress 7.0
  • PHP 8.3 is required

Settings

Go to Settings → Dynamic Post Type Menu to configure the plugin.

Available settings include:

  • Remove the built-in Posts post type from the admin UI
  • Hide the WordPress + New admin bar menu
  • Select which post types appear in the Content Types panel
  • Select which feature integrations appear in the Content Types panel

Notes

When Remove the built-in Posts post type is enabled, the plugin hides the default Posts menu and blocks direct admin access to the default Posts list, add-new screen, and edit screen. This does not unregister WordPress core's built-in post post type.

The admin-bar panel is rendered as custom plugin markup instead of WordPress nested admin-bar submenus. This avoids submenu overlap, duplicate indicator icons, and admin-bar CSS conflicts while keeping the top-level Content Types item in the standard WordPress admin bar.
