For websites running the GFI Theme, the “APP Student Group” custom post type appears in the WordPress sidebar whether or not it is being used. This functionality was originally intended for just the US site but shows up on all websites utilizing the theme.
The APP Student Group CPT is enqueued during PHP execution, even though it will never be utilized within the instance. The post type would set off other plugins within the instance like Rank Math seen below.
With the latest GFI theme update, any custom post type specific to an instance can be toggled within the customizer. This allows for future custom post types to be enabled and disabled depending on the need of the website.
Toggling this checkbox to false disables the APP student group custom post type, removes it from the sidebar seen below, and stops any relevant scripts loaded during execution.
