 * great plugin thanks! Is it possible to have widget functionality with your plugin?
   I want to add archives and category drop down for my custom post type on a sidebar
   widget. Thank you for your help!

 * Anything related to adding CPTs to the queries for those is going to be outside
   the scope of what our plugin does. We strive to simply be the registration of
   them with a hopefully simple UI 🙂

 * Sure I totally understand, but in your “movies” example in the documentation,
   the sidebar contains the categories and tags of the CPT. How did you get that
   there? I’m assuming you just added text widget and included a shortcode? Is there
   a list of shortcodes your plugin uses? Thanks so much, this would be super helpful!

 * Can you point me to where you’re seeing this? I can’t recall where this may exist,
   and it may need to be updated as well. Best I can guess, you’re reading at [http://webdevstudios.com/plugin/custom-post-type-ui/](http://webdevstudios.com/plugin/custom-post-type-ui/)?
