   If WPML Multilingual CMS plugin (more or less the standard plugin for multi-language WordPress sites) is installed, Post Type Switcher does not work as expected.

   The post_type is changed in 'wp_posts' table but the post does not show up any more in admin-panel, not as old and not as new type.

   Fix: When changing the post type, add a check if WPML is installed and if yes, adjust the type in a second table 'wp_icl_translations' as explained here:

   if ( function_exists('icl_object_id') ) {
      // adjust field 'element_type' in table 'wp_icl_translations'
      // from 'post_OLDNAME' to 'post_NEWNAME'
      // the post_id you look for is in column: 'element_id'
   }

   I just had this happen to me on my build location. How can I retrieve the missing posts?

   Hi,

   Thanks for the tip but don't you have the complete correct code to put exactly so the WPML plugin works properly ?

   OK, it goes like this for those who search for a solution :

   
// in case of using the WPML plugin
if(function_exists('icl_object_id')){
// adjust field 'element_type' in table 'wp_icl_translations'
// from 'post_OLDNAME' to 'post_NEWNAME'
// the post_id you look for is in column: 'element_id'

   if($post->post_type == 'revision'){
   if(is_array($post->ancestors)){
   $ID = $post->ancestors[0];
   }
   }else{
   $ID = $post->ID;
   }

   $wpdb->update("{$wpdb->prefix}icl_translations", array('element_type' => 'post_' . $new_post_type_object->name), array('element_id' => $ID));
}
