Support » Plugin: Custom Post Type UI » Warning: don't edit multiple items at a time

    Just a quick warning to everyone: if you have multiple post types/taxonomies, be sure to only edit one item at a time. Because of how the Custom Post Type UI plugin stores it’s data (serialized array), having two tabs/windows open to edit multiple items at a time can cause the data to get out of sync, which results in a messed-up CPT definition.

    If your post types are messed up as a result of this, the only real option to restore them is to use a database backup similar to this post.

    Just a note to add to this. 0.9 hopes to rid itself of this issue through named arrays using the CPT slug instead of indexed arrays.
