Missing Admin Menu Item for Custom Post Type

Did you do any renaming of the post type or change any specific setting for the post type settings?

The site is a work in progress so settings are being changed regularly.

All the settings seem correct – I’ve toggled ‘show in menu’ to true and false, but the menu item still doesn’t appear.

Are you able to login and take a quick look?

Set up an admin account using michael @ webdevstudios dot com for the email. User/pass doesn’t matter as much as I can copy/paste that.

Checking.

So I managed to get the menu item to show up, though I had to recreate it myself and import. I matched up all the settings the best I could, with exception to one thing. The Post Type slug shouldn’t have dashes in them like what you had when I first logged in. You want underscores. As far as I am aware, dashes are fine in the rewrite value, just not for the slug. It does appear that the post type list found all the previous posts too. At very least, it found 12.

That said, I am not sure how you have the frontend set up for querying and displaying. It may be a hardcoded slug somewhere that I wouldn’t know about, but I do know that the Image gallery link I found in the menu is presently showing zero results.

Hope this helps in the long run.

Thanks for you help! I have the front-end working again now.

Do you know how I can alter slugs?

It’s currently .com/?image_gallery=patient-1897
I would like .com/image-gallery/patient-1897

Thanks,
Mike

Unless I’m mistaken, that’s a permalinks setting, and I noticed you have a bunch of extra sections on the permalinks screen. If I recall right, the image gallery one was set to “default”.

Yes, I had to revert back to that.

I followed the instructions but when I change to /%postname%/ – it causes a 404 when I click the post.

The same thing happens when I add image-gallery/%postname%/

Not sure, to be honest. Permalinks are always a pain to debug for me too, so I don’t have any sure answer.
