 * This plugin can solve a huge problem for me but I can’t get the custom post type
   to display. I’m not very savvy with programming so I’ll need a plugin to manage
   custom post types.
 * Is there a recommended one that works with this plugin?

 * The ability to work with custom post types can be hit or miss. It really depends
   on the structure of the post type itself.
 * If the custom post type closely follows the structure of a standard WP post, 
   then it is more likely that this feature will work, but if the custom post type
   uses custom fields and strays from the fields used by WP, then they won’t display
   as excerpts.
 * This feature was originally added for a client who’s situation allowed it to 
   work on their site, but we quickly found that there are many custom post types
   that do not work.
 * We are currently developing a pro version with admin pages to provide more options
   and better controls. On the drawing board is a plan to create a system to map
   custom fields to the fields displayed by the plugin which we hope will open up
   this feature to working with any custom post type.
