Magic Fields 2 Toolkit

Does this plugin require Magic Fields 2 to be installed?

Yes, this plugin is designed to work with Magic Fields 2 custom fields which have a non-standard implementation.

I have installed the plugin without errors but the plugin does nothing.

You must enable specific features – all features are not enabled by default. Open ‘Settings->Magic Fields 2 Toolkit’ menu item and select the features you want.

After upgrading to version 0.4.6 the search results table of post is not sortable.

Version 0.4.6 has a new default content macro for sortable tables. However, the toolkit will not automatically replace an existing content macro – because you may have customized it. However, you can restore the default content macro by completely erasing the content macro definition.
