Update to 9.0 made all custom taxonomy disappear

Please read https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/090-issues?replies=6#post-6515792 as well.

It’s been a not-too-fun morning because of this, and I’m still trying to figure out where the holes are and where things went wrong.

Becky, if you’re comfortable with accessing the database directly, I’d love to get the cptui_post_types and cptui_taxonomies values from your wp_options table. It’ll help debug.

Sure Michael, I would love to help, I hope this is what you’re looking for… I don’t have any post types, just taxonomies.

Looks like it. Appreciated.

Now that I think about it, the values from cpt_custom_tax_types would help as well, for comparison between old and new.

Here you go:

thank you, ma’am ??

Would you be willing to test a currently patched version to see if it clears up the issues?

I can provide a zip file that you can install that will upload the hopefully fixed version alongside 0.9.5 so you can easily switch back if still not working yet.

Preferably on a dev copy of your site if possible.

Yes, I can help with this, have a couple of dev sites where I can play. Let me know how to get to the file.

Download and install the following:

https://github.com/WebDevStudios/custom-post-type-ui/archive/master.zip

It should name the folder “custom-post-type-ui-master” or so, so the folders won’t clash, but you will probably want to disable the 0.9.5 version before activating this one, as I am sure I have some functions named the same in both, and we don’t need name clashes. After the master.zip copy is installed, you’ll want to flush the rewrite rules once more, and then test things out.

Michael, sorry been too busy to test, but I see that 1.0 is out, is it safe? ??

Actually I see that it isn’t. I updated a staging site to 1.0 and lost all my taxonomies again. Had to revert back to 8.5…

hrm

Did you flush the rewrite rules after the upgrade?

I know I looked over and made changes to the query_var parameter handling for taxonomies.

Hi,

First off I want to thank you for a fantastic plugin which has saved me a lot of time when working on numerous sites. However, version 1.0 doesn’t work properly for me either. A previously created custom post type doesn’t show up in the WP admin and it’s not available through the CPT admin. Rewrite rules seem to work fine as I’m able to access the previously created posts from the front-end.

Really appreciating the time and effort you put in to this.

So is version 1.0 still not fully bug-free?

I’m hoping all of the bugs the were reported last week have been fixed, but there’s definitely chance for fringe cases that i’ll more than gladly help figure out.

hanseriksson would you be willing to let me into your site, if possible to see what’s going on?
