Deleted post type order plugin and now my posts wont show…

Hello,

Initially I had the following argument and it was working fine:

$args = array(
		'post_type'=> 'cpt_courses',
	   'meta_key' => 'date_start',
	   'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
	   'order' => 'ASC',

	   'meta_query' => array(
		   array(
			   'key' => 'date_start',
			   'value' => $thisYear.$month,
			   'compare' => 'LIKE'
       )
   )
	);

I installed post type order to try something out. Realised I didn’t need it. So diactivated and deleted the file. Now my previous argument will not work! The posts are still there and when I just query the Custom post type only one show up…. Can any help me out why suddenly I cannot see the other posts..?

Thanks

Josh
