 * I am using the latest word press.
 * Every so often for example when WordPress updates, or I add new plug ins my easy
   portfolio stops working and gives a dead url…
 * Last night I was making web changes (just text) woke up today it had stopped 
   working again.
 * The only way to get it to work is uninstall and reinstall but its annoying to
   have to keep doing it and sometimes I don’t realise its happened so I could be
   losing customers as my website is filled with dead links.
 * I really don’t want to remove the plug in as the look is lovely and clean and
   easy to use.
 * Please help
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fplug-in-stops-working-randomly%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi Charlotte,
    This sounds like some sort of WordPress setup problem rather than
   a problem with the plugin itself. Essentially – Easy Photography Portfolio plugin
   is just a custom post type with some additional features added on top. What you’re
   describing is a “post type not working” scenario.
 * There can be many causes for it, among the most popular:
 * * Something else is also registering a `phort_post` post type (unlikely)
    * Something
   else is taking up the `site.com/portfolio` URL, for example – maybe an old page
   still lurking around somewhere. (likely) * There may be another plugin installed
   that tampers with the `Portfolio` slug * The .htaccess or server configuration
   is broken in some way (hosting provider support should be able to help there)*
   Any combination of the above if a Caching plugin is installed. If you have a 
   caching plugin – it becomes really difficult to diagnose these types of issues.
   Some hosting providers may offer help dealing with this as well.
 * Overall, it’s a matter of finding out why a post type turns on and off after 
   updating.
 * Can you list the plugins you have active? Where are you hosting the site?
