Love this plugin! I use CPTs on every site I built, and this plugin just makes it so much faster to add and update new CPTs. It hasn't been updated in a while, but still works excellently. The only bummer is it doesn't work with the Gutenberg editor, so if this is still turned on for a CPT, it won't work. Would love to see this updated at some point, but in the meantime, I am very happy with it.

This should be core part of Wordpress. Several of my clients were distressed when it looked like this plugin was abaondoned. So relieved to have it updated recently.

Still works on WP 5.2.2, also works on custom post types that use /edit layout (e.g. Woocommerce products). You saved me many hours of just watching the backend reload 😀

How do I donate to it? The developers website doesn't seem to active.

My admin side is a bit laggy during the development phase, so I often Save in one browser tab while I modify in another and it was aggravating to always have to pop back to the first tab just to switch screens to go back to the list of items, or worse, have to go to the next item, and have to make two selections. Now, with a simple click – POOF! – I'm where I need to be. I came from Joomla where this simple, glaringly-necessary option was a part of core and was shockingly dismayed that WordPress did not include it. Big kudos to the Dev for providing this plugin!

True story.
