I have tested this on three different hosts, using a number of different versions of both Types and WordPress, and I believe I’ve narrowed it down to my host (Firehost) setup, which they recently changed a bit.

Here are the modules they added (I believe) to Apache:

mod_deflate
mod_env
mod_expires
mod_headers
mod_mime
mod_rewrite
mod_setenvif

My issue is this: when I attempt to either add or edit a custom post type, I get to the point of pushing “Save Custom Post Type” … and then I see a white screen, with a url similar to the following (stays the same as before I click the button, but displays a blank white page):

https://mydomain.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wpcf-edit-type

It should be displaying something like this:

https://www.mydomain.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wpcf-edit-type&wpcf-post-type=news&wpcf-rewrite=1

Has anyone had an issue like this before, or know what might be happening? I don’t believe that the issue is within Types, WordPress, or a theme or plugin. I’ve tested this on more than 10 sites, and every site hosted on Firehost does exactly the same thing (nothing), and every site on Bluehost or GoDaddy hosting (similar sites with the same base theme and plugins, but varying versions of Types and WordPress, going back to just the last version of each), creates the post type correctly.

Please help! I’m in the middle of a project that has been shot to hell because I tried deleting and re-adding a post type before I was aware of the extent of the problem.

I’ve replicated this issue on a clean install of WordPress with just the Types plugin activated. I still believe my server is the issue, but would appreciate any help anyone could provide.

I don’t know if it is the same issue you’re describing, but I’m getting a ‘HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error)’ when trying to save a new custom post type. Latest version of both WordPress and Types plugin.

Could be. I ended up rolling back my entire server over it, but it’s working again now.

Update: the rollback worked for some of my sites, but not all. Version 1.0.4 is working normally, but versions 1.1.3.1 and 1.1.3 are still having the same issue.

Anyone else seeing this?

I ended up rolling back a version on the plugin (to 1.0.4) as well and it works now.

Same thing exactly for me.

Anyone have any ideas on what is causing this?

I’m having a very similar error, when trying to save Custom Post Types, the screen goes white, and the type is not saved.

Anyone have even a partial solution? I’m considering just hand-coding custom post types going forward, which would be OK, but it means that my existing custom post types aren’t particularly editable in the meantime.

Hi Jon,

I see your post with the issue resolved on the forum:
https://wp-types.com/forums/topic/types-breaking-past-version-1-0-4/#post-31210

can you mark this thread as resolved?

It was really annoying to have to go check another thread and register an account over there to get the answer. To finish up this thread…

The solution is to install the mb_string extension and restart apache. In my case
sudo yum install -y php-mbstring
sudo /etc/init.d/httpd restart

Thanks to caridad.z for pointing to the forum with the answer and luoy for the original solution (https://wp-types.com/forums/topic/blank-page-when-adding-new-post-type/page/2/#post-29990)
