Upgrading from version 0.95 causes me to lose content

    Hi Michael,

    For every successive version since you released 1.0 of the plugin I’ve been trying to upgrade from 0.95, following all of the steps you suggest, and every time when I browse to my custom post type pages the content has vanished. So I end up restoring from a backup and waiting for your next release.

    Here’s my process:
    * Backup
    * Upgrade CPT UI
    * Flush permalinks, check pages. Pages are always gone
    * Resave custom post types and associated custom taxonomies, check page. Pages stil gone.
    * Flush permalinks again, check pages. Still gone.
    * Test resaving one of the custom post type posts itself, just for good measure. Still gone
    * Restore from backup and wait for your next release

    Here are the details of my custom post types and taxonomies:

    Would very much appreciate any help you can provide in getting this resolved.

    As odd as it sounds, define “gone”. 404 pages but the posts/terms are still available in the admin?

    For what it’s worth, you should be able to just re-install the 0.9.5 release and activate it and get everything back. I migrated the 1.x settings to their own db row instead of overwriting the old ones. Probably the wisest thing I did there.

    If push comes to shove, are you willing to let me in and see what I can find first hand?

    Correct, “gone” means still in the database / admin, but not available on the front end.

    Sure, reinstalling 0.9.5 is easy enough, but so is a restore. May end up doing that as push comes to shove. Anywho…

    Re: access, this is a client site, and so would need to request permission to let you in, and would prefer avoiding if possible.

    Given the above, any thoughts on what might be going on?

    Only thing standing out is the rewrite: false bit for the post type. Usually when I’m granted access to a website, I’m checking rewrite rule stuff and requests being made, for what it’s worth.

    Michael thanks so much –?I tried your suggestion and it worked perfectly, finally resolving the issues that were keeping us from being able to upgrade.

    May be helpful to add this suggestion to your list here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/ugraded-version-10x-checklist

    Thanks again!

    Oops, didn’t fully read your last reply before I posted that.

    Sounds like things are much better now. So it was the rewrite: false part that was throwing things for a loop in your case?

    Things are working perfectly! Yep, it was the rewrite: false issue.
