If you decide that you don&#8217;t need this plugin in the future, you can safely deactivate it. All custom post type definitions will revert back to their defaults and none of your posts will be lost.<\/p>\n<p>Download the <a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\/extend\/plugins\/cpt-editor\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Custom Post Type Editor<\/a> for free from the WordPress plugin repository.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Need to make a few changes to the built-in WordPress post types or a custom post type?
