I imagine he’s been busy doing other things, like working on WordPress 3.0 and 3.1. 😉

Just use “Custom Structure” under Permalinks.

The custom structure should be ” /%postname% “. (No quotes of course.)

In the case of a custom post type of “movies” the permalink will be
” /movie/avatar “. You should see this permalink when you edit your “avatar” post.

gambit37,

Ok. Try this. Just list the following line right after the
call_user_func_array line. That will probably be around line 396:

var_dump( debug_backtrace() );

This will definitely dump a lot of output.

Click on “Manage Post Types” just as you did before and then I would save the whole screen of output to a text file so that you can refer to it later.

BTW, this is not going to be in html format. (I think I misunderstood what you were asking before.) These are the instructions generated starting from call_user_func_array and working backwards, but it will give us the info we need to see where the problem is. (Hopefully!)

We’re actually looking for the call which has “cpt_manage_cpt” as part of the path.

Hi gambit37,

The code is:

if ( is_wp_error($the_['function'] ) ) {
  var_dump( debug_backtrace() );
  die();
}

I would put it on the line right after the point where you are having the error, i.e. line 396 in wp-includes\plugin.php.

Naturally, if there is an error there, the code will stop executing and y9ou should have a backtrace. I would copy this out somewhere so it can be examined, and so you can paste it in the forum.

I can’t reproduce the error myself. But somehow I have no problem getting constant errors in the new menu system. (Which is not ready for primetime in my opinion.)

BTW, I noticed in the WordPress trac that they are working on some tickets that could pertain to your problem. (And also several tickets on the menu system, which could solve my problem.)

Let me know what you find out.

Ron

Hi gambit37, I’ve got a couple of questions.

Have you tried just setting your permalinks to the default? That might
help if there is a problem with the path.

Have you looked at your site path in phpMyAdmin? Browse wp_options. The Option Name should say “siteurl” and the value should be “http://local/wp3beta”. There should be no trailing slash. Is that what you get?
BTW, why aren’t you using “localhost” instead of “local”?

My next suggestion, (if those don’t work), would be to include some code at certain points to see how far you get before it fails. (And to give a backtrace to track down the problem.)

You’re not the only one having this problem, so there must be something that you all have in common.

Ron

gambit37,
If you just put your cursor on “Manage Post Types”, you should be seeing the following at the bottom of your page:

“/** your path **/wp-admin/admin.php?page=custom-post-type-ui/custom-post-type-ui.php_cpt_manage_cpt “

Is that what you are seeing?

The error is saying that it cannot find “cpt_manage_cpt” which is the function it needs.

If you are not seeing the path that I typed, then try entering it yourself and see what you get. Type in your path and then you can paste or type the rest.

Also, you said that you could use the “Add New” for custom types. If that worked then you should be seeing your metaboxes in the left side of the admin screen, i.e. movies, or whatever the name of your custom type was. If you don’t see the metabox for your custom post type, then it was never created and “Add New” is not working.
