Most of the credit for creating an extraordinary plugin like this goes to **Kalin**. As a plugin developer, I also admire the uses of this plugin. So, I couldn't see a nice plugin like this get left in the dark. This plugin is still in the first stages of its target design. Many of the old bugs have been fixed, and new features added. Version 1.0.0 will feature many of the functionalities that Kalin and others have mentioned, and will have a completely new layout to accommodate for the extra tools that will be added. Right now the plugin is in the pre-release versions (0.X.X). **0.2.0 Release** - contains an export function that also supports individual preset downloads. This is for two main reasons. **1)** Help with debugging purposes when trying to replicate the style and some of the content. **2)** Community purposes. It was a simple piece of code to add (maybe 5 lines, if that) for preset downloads after all the main export functions, and I also believe having a community will help with the evolution of the plug in by spotting the limitations and the advances needed for the plugin. **WORKING 0.3.Alpha Version - CAUTION when upgrading, back-up your plugin data in case a bug occurs** - supports Custom Post Types & Taxonomies which provides a highly customizable post filter and can display pages from various Post Types. The new version is also setup to allow multiple Parent Pages to be used, new dialog feature for displaying errors and info, and is setup to filter by Post Status (any, publish, pending, draft, auto-draft, future, private, inherit, and trash). The scripting was changed to make use of wp_enqueue_(script/style) which also led to JQuery UI to be added and allows other future supported scripts to be added. **Pre-Release Projects for Version 1.0.0** * **(Completed)** Import/export (including importing data from Kalins Post List) * **(Completed)** Custom Post Type & Taxonomies Support. Available in the 0.3 release. * Additional sort methods for 'Orderby' combo box == Installation == 1. Upload zip to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. 2.
