Portfolio Post Type

By Devin Price

What it does: Adds a portfolio post type with its own tags and categories.

Why it’s listed: Your portfolio content lives in the post type it creates. The plugin was last updated in 2020. It is tested only up to WordPress 5.5. Before you remove it, register the same post type with another tool so your portfolio items stay reachable.

Is Portfolio Post Type still maintained?

It has gone over two years without an update.

Quiet: No update for over a year.

Placements are our opinion, based on public evidence. Risk here means a plugin may not get a fix if a problem appears. It doesn’t mean we found a flaw, unless we show an advisory. Going quiet alone never puts a plugin in Replace now.

What to do next

  1. Back up the site, and use a staging copy for any change.
  2. Recreate the post type with one of the alternatives below using the same name, then check your portfolio pages.

If it works today, no need to panic. Plan the change around your next update.
