Description
The plugin currently provides users with several index pages: Field Groups, Post Types, Taxonomies, Options Pages, and listings for every Custom Post Type created through the plugin. To modernize these experiences and align with WordPress core’s direction, all of the plugin’s listing pages should be migrated to DataViews. This will provide a more user-friendly and visually appealing interface, richer out-of-the-box features, and reduce future maintenance burden.
Additional Context
- Dependencies: Heavy dependence on the dataviews component. Since
@wordpress/dataviewsis not actively worked on, it should be based on the more active@automattic/dataviewsfork. - Considerations:
- These pages will initially be opt-in as a Beta Feature.
- Check the implications this change has on plugins that extend SCF.
- Future iterations: Implement quick-edit
