# [Plugin: WordPress SEO] Create New Post Function Being Broken for Custom Post Types

 * First, I want to say that I LOVE the plugin, which is why I’m even taking the
   time to write on the forum about the bug that I’m experiencing.
 * So, that said, here is what is happening…
 * The plugin seemed to do everything it advertised it would do. I noticed that 
   my titles and descriptions were being rewritten and the sitemap was being created.
   For the built-in “post” and “page” post types, the plugin worked great. I could
   set the template and then edit the descriptions, etc. on the individual Edit 
   Post pages. **NOTE: Although, the only seemingly buggy thing that I encountered
   here was that the global templates that were setup in the WordPress SEO settings
   panel were overwriting the individual changes made on the Edit Post/Page pages
   themselves. In other words, the static homepage I was using, entitled Home, would
   display as Site Title – Page Title as my template suggested instead of what I
   manually wrote into the box on the Edit Page panel.**
 * The real issue though was that on the Edit Custom Post Type pages, with the plugin
   enabled, the majority of the WP Admin Panel functions would no longer work. Here’s
   a list of what I noticed…
 * *All expanded left-hand menus would close.
    *The now closed left-hand menus would
   not expand upon clicking the arrow. *The preview button would not work. *The “
   edit” link for the publishing date, so that I could schedule a post in the future,
   would not drop down the enter date boxes upon clicking. *The publish button still
   worked, despite the others not working. *The left-hand menu headers could be 
   clicked and the resulting page would be back to normal, as long as it wasn’t 
   the edit panel for the custom post type. *The same functions above that wouldn’t
   work when editing a custom post type would work as expected on regular built-
   in pages and posts. *Removing the plugin brought things back to normal.
 * ——
 * Here is a list of the other enabled plugins…
    Advertising Manager Analytics 360
   cbnet Ping Optimizer Google Analytics for WordPress Taxonomy Images BETA Taxonomy
   Widget Twitter for WordPress WP-prettyPhoto WPBook
 * Thanks for your help and for creating such a great plugin!
