I can't access my Custom Post Type posts after 3.1 update!

do you think these problems may be caused by the fact that my post types originally were uppercase?

it seems like they’re now lowercase ie

wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=marvel

but maybe the original posts still have the uppercase letter?

I found this code:

if(!get_option(‘custom_type_updated’)){
global $wpdb;
$wpdb->query(“UPDATE $wpdb->posts SET post_type = ‘portfolio’ WHERE post_type = ‘Portfolio'”);
update_option(‘custom_type_updated’,’true’);
}

and I’m gonna try that

This seems to have worked for the first one! It also fixed the permalink structure (back to /type/post/) and got the if in the single.php working!

I’ll try it for the others and report back

It worked for the first two, but now it isn’t working :-/

any ideas? Did using it a couple times make it not work? I was changing the variables each time

weird, I had to do it as

if(!get_option(‘marvel2_update’)){
global $wpdb;
$wpdb->query(“UPDATE $wpdb->posts SET post_type = ‘marvel’ WHERE post_type = ‘marvel'”);
update_option(‘marvel2_update’,’true’);
}

it’s working now for the other ones. a couple of them must have gotten double messed up or something.

I swear I read something about just THIS today…Something about how you had to fix them.

it all seems to be working now, nearly gave me a heart attack, though. sorry for the frantic posting while I figured it out, haha.

The capitalization fix seems to have solved the permalink structure thing the single.php if swithc AND the edit link disappearing as well.

AHA!

This is a known bug that was fixed.

yeah, that’s where I got the update code. My problem was that my old posts were still in limbo because they thought they had an uppercase character. Everything seems to be fine now though ??

Yeah, you need to search/replace the DB for the rest of it. (God and I posted in that old topic too!)

yup, I used the Search and Replace plugin to clean up the old links. I think it’s as good as its going to get. Not much I can do about outside links anyway.

it did not helped me… and i have custom post type in lower case. any suggestions?

djanym – please make a new topic with a descriptive title.
