    Hi

    Flywheel Local install, completely new. Installed Metabox plugin to create CPTs and of coz your plugin (v1.9). Created a new CPT (“TESTING“) and made some posts for the same.

    However, on viewing the DB, unable to see the wp_cpt_testing table in the DB. Post was created and showing in the dashboard, but not seen in the wp_posts table also.

    No errors seen in the dashboard, so nothing to report. Please help.

    I just tried to go back to prev versions of your plugin. 1.7 worked out and am continuing testing using that version.

    Try 1.2.1 please.

    You said: wp_cpt_testing could not be found, entries are saved but not seen in the wp_posts?

    That can’t be. If CPT Tables is not working, the posts are not saved or saved in wp_posts. But the entries could not be saved and not being in any table.

    Thank you!

    I did upgrade to 1.2.1. Here are my observations and experiences:

    1. On plugin upgrade, all “migrated” db tables did not show up in the CPT Tables menu link.
    2. All CPTs created had their “migrated states” reverted AND their content reset to zero.
    3. Within each CPT menu item, all example “posts” did not show up.
    4. When I migrated these tables “again”, this was successful – AND, the previous posts started showing up in the custom tables.
    5. Being a non-techie, and a WP newbie, the only data that I could catch as being different is the slug for your plugin’s SETTING – earlier it was showing as /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=wp-cpt-tables but in 1.2.1 it is showing as /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=cpt-tables. Could this change in slug have caused this anomaly in behaviour observed in points 1-3 above?
    6. No other errors or warning were displayed on the screen.

    Here is the screenshot that I got in the interim step (4) describe above.

    Glad, it’s solved for you.

    Yes, I had to rename it because of the WordPress naming conventions.

    Thanks for your detailed explanation of your way working with it. I’ll now have a chance to make it better.

    In the next version, I’ll compare the tables with the migrated post_types and will add them automatically, if they have entries.

    You will not see any tables with zero entries when they got some

    I am happy (and I suppose the Author would also be) that I upgraded to 1.2.3 just now, and the upgrade went butter smooth! No issues whatsoever and all data is intact as it was before the upgrade. Very nice and thanks @sebastianklaus . I have become a believer!

    Best wishes to continued success with your plugin!
