 * [@david](https://wordpress.org/support/users/david/) Gwyer – Hi, seems you’re
   very selective about who you answer here. We just have a couple simple questions.
   Is there a hack for addiing custom post types for themes that use them, or are
   there any plans to include this option in a future release? Also, any plans for
   additional simple styling options? Thanks.

 * I try to answer all support questions for my Plugins. My commercial development
   commitments sometimes causes a delay in replying to free Plugin support questions.
 * CPT will likely be added to a future version (you will be able to select which
   post types get shown) on the sitemap page.
 * What simple styling options do you want to see added?

 * [@david](https://wordpress.org/support/users/david/) Gwyer – Bravo on your attitude
   toward support! Can you tell us the timetable for the release with the CPT options?
   Styling wishlist would include the option to go back to the two-column layout,
   and the ability to drag and drop or otherwise rearrange the components of said
   list/layout. Thanks again.

 * There is no timetable for CPT to be added at this time, but it is on the to-do
   list.
 * As for two column layout and order of post types, these will likely feature in
   the future but I cannot say when. Sorry for being so vague but I don’t want to
   commit to features and then not deliver.

 * Well, ok then and good luck with the plugin. Its pretty much useless for us as
   is since many of our websites, as well as most newer themes on the market, use
   CPTs. Styling customization options would just be nice. Thanks for your time 
   and the quick response.

 * Basic support for CPT has been added in v1.6. Just turn them on in Plugin settings.

 * Adding CPTs was a great idea, but I would like to be able to select which CPTs
   to include. We’d like to exclude things like sliders but include other types.
   Hope that comes in a future update.

 * I will probably add this to a future version. For now though you can just look
   at the Sitemap page and hide the sections you don’t want displayed via CSS.

 * Except hiding via CSS doesn’t stop those CPTs from being picked up by bots and
   search engines.

 * It’s all you can do until it is implemented. Otherwise just turn off all CPT 
   for now.
