Description
The Custom Post Types add-on adds to the MainWP panel the selection of custom post types from connected sites, enabling you to create, edit, and publish content in those post types without manually switching between installations. For teams that manage multiple WordPress sites with their own content structures, the extension centralizes editorial workflows and reduces friction when maintaining portfolios, materials, documents, or other custom records across distributed environments.
