Changelog

1.4.2.1

  • Made the ‘abepl_exclude_post_types’ filter more reliable – will now remove the checkbox from the settings screen as well as prevent a previously checked, valid post type from displaying in the admin bar menu.
  • Made the ‘bs_abep_query_args’ filter more reliable – now resets to defaults each time through the list of post types.
  • Changed filter from ‘abepl-exclude-post-types’ to ‘abepl_exclude_post_types’.
  • Cleaned up some code formatting.
