# Admin GUI – Posts missing Edit/Quick Edit/etc links

 * After upgrading to 3.1, found that a whole lot of posts do not show the “Edit
   | Quick Edit | Trash | Preview ” links when you hover over the entry in the Posts
   section of the gui. The only link that shows is ‘View’, which when clicked on
   gives a 404 error. The title text is also black and unclickable (normally is 
   blue as its meant to be a hyperlink).
 * Any ideas? I found one post here mentioning permalinks, but turning them off 
   had no impact.
 * Edit: Found if I manually enter a URL to edit one of the affected posts, I get
   an error saying “You are not allowed to edit this item.”. Comparing a working
   post and a non working post shows the same author id though.

   nothing there has changed anything
 * Setup a new copy of the site on a fresh install of WordPress. Problem followed–
   I suspect the issue is within the SQL DB.

 * The issue has been resolved.
 * The upgrade of WordPress went and changed my custom post type of ‘For_Sale’ to‘
   for_sale’. Any of the existing posts with the post_type of For_Sale then became
   unavailable to edit or view (though would still list in the admin gui and still
   could be queried).
 * Creating a new post would set Post_Type to for_sale and would be able to be edited/
   viewed/etc.
 * I ran an SQL query to change the case to all lower case on the affected posts,
   which has fixed the problem.
