 * Hello Jeff,
 * Could you please add the rules priority to the short FAQ in the plugin description?
 * I’m sometimes a bit confused and it would come in handy.
 * —
 * On another note, we have some rules applied to a few different permalinks with
   a Plugin Filter. It’s priority is set to 999.
 * The page it’s targeting does not override the post type settings.
 * However the plugin filter did not have an impact, only the post type settings
   did.
 * I was under the impression the Plugin Filters had priority over the Post Type
   settings, am I mistaken?
 * Thank you!

 * Post type settings take priority over plugin filters. The plugin filter priority
   is for plugin filters only. So if you have two plugin filters that match a URL
   the one with the highest priority will be used.

 * Hey Jeff,
 * Thank you for the quick reply.
 * Is there any chance you could add a checkbox “Override post type settings” in
   the plugin filters?
 * Our logic is the following…
 * – We don’t want to enable our social buttons plugin on all pages, but they are
   enabled on posts
    – We disable social buttons plugin on all Pages post type. –
   However, we have a certain set of pages that we use the social buttons on – We
   want to enable the plugin on all pages that match “site.com/creators/*” – We 
   create a plugin filter that match this permalink structure
 * To avoid having to manually override post type settings for every creators page,
   a plugin filter would be perfect.
 * Hope you can consider adding this.
 * Thank you!
