[wp-testers] Custom post type disappears when a post is un-published (Michael E. Hancock)

[Stephen Hammer]

MIchael,

I used the Custom Post Type UI plugin, v 0.5.2

Here is the register_post_type  code it generated:

register_post_type('artists', array(	'label' => 'Artists','public' => true,'show_ui' => true,'capability_type' => 'post','hierarchical' => false,'rewrite' => array('slug' => ''),'query_var' => true,'supports' => array('title','editor','excerpt','custom-fields','comments','thumbnail',)) );

I did _not_ paste this code into functions.php -- could that be the problem?

Steve

Stephen,

This same problem has been reported in [1] and [2] but can't be duplicated.

Are you using a plugin to add the custom post type and if so what plugin is 
it?

Or are you using register_post_type in your theme's functions.php file?  If 
so please provide that code.

Note - Using a custom post type of 'book', I just changed a book to Draft, 
then republished and at both stages the post_type in the database remained 
book.  I'm using default permalinks with no plugins activated.
