Post Type option not showing on bulk edit for custom posts

  • Good day!

    I’ve done this before and it worked, weirdly it’s not working now.

    I’m trying to bulk edit some custom posts (video posts) to change them to normal posts. For each custom post individually the “Post Type” option shows fine (above the publish button) and it works. But when I try to bulk edit the custom posts the “Post Type” option doesn’t show. It does if I want to bulk edit normal posts, but not for the custom posts.

    I know this should work, because I’ve done it before for this same site/theme. But I forgot to back it up, so I have to do it again. Now it doesn’t work.
    It’s been 3 hours of me trying to solve it to no success.

    Some help would be appreciated! ??

    Thank you very much in advance

  • I ran into the same problem and solved it by editing post-type-switcher.php:

    at the very end of the file, replace
    new Post_Type_Switcher();

    with

    function init_Post_Type_Switcher() {
	new Post_Type_Switcher();
}
add_action( 'admin_init', 'init_Post_Type_Switcher' );

    The plugin needs to be initialized a little later in the process, otherwise the “is_allowed_page” function tries to access the $pagenow global when it hasn’t yet been initialized.

    @plugin author: Hopefully you’ll fix this. Thanks for an awesome time-saving plugin.

    Thanks kraterdesign for sharing the solution – works perfectly.

    And thanks to plugin author for a great plugin.

    Has this been corrected in the plugin yet? i.e. did it make it into latest version 1.5?

    I tried this and still not working. If I go to my custom page type and select the post, the drop down menu shows all my post types, including the custom one am I on. But if after moving it to a different post type (say the default Posts), the custom one does not show up in the menu, so I can’t move it back.
