rewrite slug not accepted – import fail
-
Hi there,
I need to import a CPT, coming out of the current WP installation of a client, into a new WP install. I’ve exported the cpt with the export function of her current site.
However, this old cpt has a slug with dashes, so I can’t make the CPT ready for the import because CPT UI forces me to use underscores for the slug. Rewriting the slug from the CPT UI name ‘my_work’ to ‘my-work’ does create the CPT in my dashboard, but the import fails and I get the error ‘Failed to import: invalid post type my-work’.
So this workaround: https://docs.pluginize.com/article/135-dashes-in-post-type-taxonomy-slugs-for-url-seo didn’t work in my case. I’ve tested it more than once.
Then I installed the plugin WP Rollback and I went back to CPT UI version 1.2.4, which is the version who allows me to use dashes. The import went flawlessly with that version!
My question: is it possible that in the recent version of the plugin you give us the choice between using dashes or underscores from the beginning? This would solve a lot of problems when an old cpt needs to be imported.
I hope to hear from you soon,
Thanks and kind regards,
Straccia

I’ve solved it in a different way, through making the CPT in the current version, then copying the code with the underscore in it from the export tab, then deleting the CPT and then pasting the code in the import tab and replacing the underscores in it with dashes…
