Lost a custom post type after updating

Hi alexpi77,

You shouldn’t be losing any of the post type content in the database, just temporarily the registration of the post type itself.

Part of the 1.0.0 update is the attempt to convert original settings to new settings, while leaving the originals alone for cases of rollback when necessary. The new settings should be in a wp_options row of cptui_post_types with the original still in the cpt_custom_post_types option you mention above.

Out of curiosity, are the menu items being lost completely? or is it just a case of 404 issues on the frontend? If the latter, try refreshing the permalink rules by visiting the permalinks settings page without editing any of them, and just hit save again.

If the former, or something completely different that I’m not picking up on, screenshots would be helpful as best as you can.

After a closer look, I found out that more than one post types disappeared. If I access one post associated with them in the frontend, I am redirected to the home page. Also they are missing from the WP admin panel.

Finnaly, they don’t exist in either of the rows you mention. If I recreate them, with the same names and settings, is there a danger of loosing the associated posts?

No, with our plugin, you should never lose the actual content created. We don’t touch the existing post/term content at this point (there’s always chance we’ll add “cleanup” features in the future, but it’s not there now).

If you’re not seeing the cptui_post_types or cptui_taxonomies options in your database, then for whatever reason they weren’t created, and thus nothing is being registered with the 1.0.x versions. However, those should be creating automatically on the init hook, based on your original cpt_custom_post_type and cpt_custom_tax_types.

marking resolved. If there is anyone with lingering issues still, with their plugin updated to 1.0.6, please start a new thread and we’ll take care of you there.
