• I’m trying to implement Custom post Type UI and I ran into an issue where I had to delete a post type and restore it later. If I try to just create the post type using the old slug I get the message:

    Please choose a different post type name. team matches an existing page slug, which can cause conflicts.

    I can register the post type manually through the functions.php file, but then the post type doesn’t appear in CPTUI making registering taxonomies annoying.

    Is there any way to fix this? There’s a good amount of data in that old post type that I’d like to avoid duplicating or replacing if possible.

    Edit: Turns out I wasn’t reading that error correctly. It’s mad that I have a page named “team,” not that there’s a registered post type named “team.” I changed the name of the page and solved it.
