Changed "post type name" – now posts are gone

    I screwed up big time it seems.

    I’m really new to wordpress (and coding in general) but in some way managed to get myself involved in some changes on a wordpress side.

    I needed to change the name of a custom post type, so I simply changed the “post type name” which made all posts disappear. I realise this was a stupid move. I tried changing the name back, but the posts still don’t seem to appear.

    Help would be much appreciated!

    did you make sure to match the slug exactly? In the current version, renaming it essentially makes a new entry in the settings we have.

    If you really want some help, use the “Debug info” tab and use the field below the textarea to send me the information shown. Use michael @ webdevstudios.com and it should reach me.

    In the meantime, if you could provide which post type was changed, that’ll help me look things over.

    The posts in the post type should not be gone, so I wouldn’t worry about that. We don’t delete the content at any point.

    Hi Michael

    Thank you! I guess I panicked a bit: it turns out I used underscores instead of hyphens..

    Weirdly after the fix the permalinks didn’t work. After resaving the settings for permalinkstructure I got it running though.

    Makes sense, regarding the permalinks. Once the slug changes, those need to be flushed, and 1.3.0 should have better support for not needing to manually as well.

    Good to hear things are back up and running otherwise.
