CPTUI handles registration. CPT UI Pro handles everything else.
CPT UI Pro
is the official premium add-on built by the same WebDevStudios team that
created and maintains this plugin. It extends CPTUI into a complete content
operations stack — front-end display blocks, admin list table controls,
multisite management, and a full developer API.
Front-end display tools

List, Post Slider, Post Cards, Featured Plus, Grid, and Grid With Overlay

- Shortcode Builder for reusable, configurable display output
Admin list table management
- Column Builder with drag-and-drop column control for any post type

Multisite management
- Network-level CPT registration from one central location
- Push config to subsites to keep site structures consistent

Developer-focused workflow
- cptui_pro_post_types filter to merge, modify, or replace registrations

manual setup
