Custom Post Template
Provides a drop-down to select different templates for posts from the post edit screen. The templates are defined similarly to page templates, and will replace single.php for the specified post. This plugin will NOT switch the templates for the different posts in a listing page, e.g. a date or category archive, it will only affect the template used for single posts (i.e. you can choose a template which is not single.php). Post templates, as far as this plugin is concerned, are configured similarly to page templates in that they have a particular style of PHP comment at the top of them. Each post template must contain the following, or similar, at the top: First note: Page templates use “Template Name:“, whereas post templates use “Template Name Posts:“. Second note: You must have the custom post template files in your theme in the same directory/folder as your index.php template file, not in a sub-directory/sub-folder. Developers If you want to implement the custom post templates on a custom post type, you can use the cpt_post_types filter, here’s an example below of adding the custom post template selector and metabox to the “Movie” and “Actor” custom post types. This code can be added to a plugin or to the functions.php file in your theme. /** * Hooks the WP cpt_post_types filter * * @param array $post_types An array of post type names that the templates be used by * @return array The array of post type names that the templates be used by **/ function my_cpt_post_types( $post_types ) { $post_types[] = 'movie'; $post_types[] = 'actor'; return $post_types; } add_filter( 'cpt_post_types', 'my_cpt_post_types' );
Simple Revision Control
Easily control and limit post revisions per post type to keep your WordPress database clean and optimized—no coding required! Simple Revision Control is a WordPress plugin that provides an easy way to manage and limit the number of post revisions stored for each post type on your site. Unlike editing the wp-config.php file—which only allows setting a single revision limit for all post types—this plugin lets you specify a different revision limit for each post type individually. You can also enable or disable revision support per post type and delete unwanted revisions directly from the plugin’s settings. Key features Set custom revision limits for each post type, rather than a global limit. Enable or disable revisions for post types that don’t support them by default. Delete all unwanted revisions with a single click to keep your database clean. Simple setup and configuration via the WordPress admin under Settings → Revisions. No coding required—ideal for users who prefer not to edit wp-config.php. This plugin is especially useful for site owners who want granular control over revision storage to optimize database performance and avoid unnecessary clutter, without needing to modify core WordPress files.
