Do you have any Pages with the same slug as the post type key? There appears to be a WordPress bug with this. From the Easy Post Type FAQs:

I get a 404 page when trying to view a post of my custom post type

This can be caused by having a page with the same slug as your custom post type key. The Page does not need to be published (it can even be in the trash) for this issue to exists.

You will either need to permanently delete the Page or create the a new post type with a different key.

This is an issue with WordPress rewrite. We are looking into how to workaround the issue.

I just started playing with the Easy Post Types plugin. For those waiting for a fix on the redirect issue, you might also try installing the Simple Custom Post Type Archives plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-custom-post-type-archives/).

It fixed the problem, although I'm still working on XAMPP locally.

@JoshuaGuffey your problem is not related to Easy Post Types. It is a problem with Redirection.

Go to tools > redirection.
At the top choose group > modified posts. press go

you will see that '/' is being redirected. Possibly multiple times. Delete these.

For what it's worth, I had my permalinks set with a custom structure (/%category%/%postname%/) and I was getting "page not found" notices with this plugin. When I changed to permalinks by day and name, the custom post type was shown with the correct single template.

TO fix the 404 error you will need to do the following.

1. Make sure your not using an existing catagoriy/slug/tab names that all ready exists for your system names. So for example if you all ready have a catagory or tab named movies you can not use movies for your system key / new catagory / new tag.

2. Every time you add a new post type go to Settings > Permalinks and save changes. Not sure why but saving the changes after every change made it work.

Hi,
I have the 404 error problem with the easy post types plugin.

When trying to link to single posts of a new custom easy post type I get the wordpress 404 error page as if the permalink is not working properly.

I have checked for duplicate page-slug names and have tried renaming the system key for the easy post data type.

It is strange, because on the site i'm developing the plugin seems to work for one of the custom data types (case studies) but will not work for any other types i have defined.

here is a link to a page on the site that i'm developing that i'm having trouble with: http://www.rcs-advertising.com/WP-DEV/wordpress/about-us/the-artist-wall

I have set up a new data type (Artists) for contributing artists and i'm trying to display the full post for the artist data type if a user clicks the thumbnail or title of the post on this custom template page.

any help would be much appreciated..... i've spent two days searching everywhere i can find to try and solve this and i still can't get it to work!

How would one create a page not unlike news, which would list all the posts of type "people". I got single-post working but that shows only one post at a time obviously.

Also, what would be the URL to all 'people' say and all people of taxonomy "instructor"?
