    I wasn’t looking when I updated the Custom Content Type Manager to 0.9.7.11 that it wasn’t yet compatible with the newest wordpress update.

    But I updated it and it broke all 6 of my custom post types. essentially nothing is really showing up on my website now. Big time whoops.

    Is there a way to revert to a previous CCTM version? I can’t find any link. Or how can I update my theme code to show my posts? Here is an example of how I am showing some of my custom content.

    ———–

    <?php $weekly = new WP_Query( array( 'category_name' => 'special event', 'posts_per_page' => 10 ) );<br />
if ( $weekly->have_posts() ) {<br />
echo '<div class="sb-div-block">';<br />
echo 'Upcoming Special Events:';<br />
while ( $weekly->have_posts() ) : $weekly->the_post();<br />
?><br />
<div class="weekly-venue-spacer"><br />
<a>" class="display_name_link"><?php print_custom_field('specialevent_display_name'); ?></a></p>
<p><?php print_custom_field('specialevent_date_of'); ?><br />
</div><br />
<?php<br />
endwhile;<br />
echo '</div>';<br />
}<br />
wp_reset_postdata();<br />
?><br />

    I really wish I could go back in time to fix this… I don’t think I have any back ups of the site either. Hopefully someone can point my in the right direction, thanks.

    Ok I was able to get an older version of the plugin, deleted the whole CCTM folder from my plugins folder via FTP. And then uploaded that older version folder in place… Everything works again, all the posts are still there also.
    phewww bullet dodged.

    yes… same same here… updating the plugin makes website unavailable, reverting to the old version brings everything back to normal, however, old version don’t work with new versions of WP (search don’t work), so we NEED update… how to proceed?

    exporting the json config don’t work either, when importing it says… “The uploaded file is not in the correct format.”

    can the author help?
