  Can it be used on live site ?

This plugin is only meant to be used for development purposes, but shouldn’t cause
any issues if run on a production site.

  What are post types ?

> WordPress can hold and display many different types of content. A single item 
> of such a content is generally called a post, although post is also a specific
> post type. Internally, all the post types are stored in the same place, in the
> wp_posts database table, but are differentiated by a column called post_type.
> WordPress 3.0 gives you the capability to add your own custom post types and to
> use them in different ways.
>  [More information in the Codex](https://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Types)

  Why won’t the plugin activate ?

Have you read what it says in the beautifully red bar at the top of your plugins
page ? As it says there, the Debug Bar plugin needs to be active for this plugin
to work. If the Debug Bar plugin is not active, this plugin will automatically de-
activate itself.
