Oh, hi Custom Posts for Wordpress 3.0.  I must say you are the most exciting part of this upgrade.  Magic Fields has been my go-to to help create an intuitive CMS admin interface for clients so far.  It’s a powerful Plugin, but 3.0 you are wooing me. 

I’ve just begun to test it out and will be using it for an upcoming project. My fav features so far?

1) Labels!  No more telling clients to ignore the fact that content is called a Post in the edit page when they are editing Portfolio content you custom created for them.   Now, change pretty much every label of the Custom Post you can think of. 

2) exclude_from_search Stop listing out all the categories that you DON’T want Wordpress search to return, when a client only wants to search Blog posts.

3) Menu Icons.  Finally, create that cute little menu icon for all Calender Posts and clients can easily find what content they want to update.

4) Supports.  Easily program what meta content should appear on the edit page for each Custom Post.
