# 404 error on converting

 * I tried converting a post from a standar post to a custom post that is provided
   by my theme. The post is successfully converted – in that it s visible a custom
   post summary on my website – but when I click on the summary it goes to a 404
   Error page.
 * Changing the post type seems to change the link name and the post cannot be accessed,
   even though it shows up on a search, unless it is changed back to a standard 
   post.
 * Is there any way to fix this, as I would like to convert about 10 pre-existing
   posts to the custom “Review” post type.
 * My website is: [http://www.wheretofeed.com](http://www.wheretofeed.com)

 * Fix/Workaround for this:
 * Note your permalink settings:
    Settings > Permalinks
 * Disable Permalinks:
    Settings > Permalinks > Default > Save Changes.
 * Restore Permalink Settings:
    Settings > Permalinks > [ Put noted settings here]
   > Save Changes
 * Fixed.
 * Author is MIA here and this is a VERY buggy Plugin that should be updated or 
   taken down.
