 * So I have been searching for a couple of days now and have found very little 
   on this topic, and what I have found is old and I am not sure if it is even relevant
   anymore.
 * So I have a WP Multisite I have created some CPTs on the master site. I am now
   looking to have those same CPTs on the other three sites in my network. But the
   only option I see to do that is either export/import or the “Get Code” option.
   But if I need to update the CPTs at all then I will have to maintain them by 
   re-exporting/importing or updating the code in my theme with the new “Get Code”.
   Is that really the only way to get the CPTs to be visible network wide? Or is
   there something else built in that I am missing?
 * If I have the CPTs in the admin, but past the “Get Code” in my theme files, will
   they conflict with one another?

 * Hi Rob,
 * The import/export/get code options are only for the settings used to register
   the post types/taxonomies. It doesn’t copy/export/reference the actual posts 
   and post meta you have within one site, from another.
 * This isn’t something CPTUI supports either, though I find it an interesting idea
   to try, at least as a way to sync one time, or any time a user clicks a button.
   However, I don’t have any sort of timeline or formal plan for it, it’s just an
   idea.
 * Querying post type data, especially if you need to link it to the appropriate
   single url, in multisite is not the most elegant thing ever, due to the fact 
   that each subsite gets its own posts/postmeta table. I don’t know offhand of 
   any post type sync plugins that already exist, but I could believe some possibly
   existing. Until then, you’d need to manually update each version as necessary.

 * I wouldn’t necessarily need the posts themselves to sync (there are plugins for
   that), but (certain) post types and their options created in CPT UI I would like
   to share between sites.
 * What I have done is built the CPT through your admin, then take the code from
   the Get Code tab and paste it into a theme file I created/included. I then went
   through and deleted any that I do not want Network wide. This has now created
   the CPTs on all sites, and the one one the main site is unaffected.
 * And in testing, I have found if I make changes to the CPT code in the site file,
   the changes do not reflect on the main site (where the CPTs were created). But
   that is ok. I would just have to make the changes in the admin, and copy the 
   code back to my file.
 * But yes a “sync” button between all/certain networked sites would be really nice.
   Especially if it could be done on a per CPT basis. This way you can limit which
   CPTs go to which sites.

 * The import/export functionality should work as well, and less dealing with functions.
   php-ready code. It’d match up all of the settings in JSON format for the export,
   and then parse that back into a wp_options table serialized array after import.

 * You’re going to need to query for and display the custom fields with the
 *     ```
       get_post_meta()
       ```
   
 * function.
