 * Hello! I’m running WP 5.0.3, and just installed this plugin.
    I can create custom
   post types fine, however, I cannot edit them. Clicking on the edit tab, or directly
   clicking on the edit (custom post type) from the post listings does not work.
 * Here is a screenshot of what seems to be the error: [https://www.screencast.com/t/6MYnzkfk](https://www.screencast.com/t/6MYnzkfk)
 * Here is a video that shows the issue: [https://www.screencast.com/t/sa8o4aKt](https://www.screencast.com/t/sa8o4aKt).
 * Hopefully you can help me out! Thanks!

 * Hmm. I have to believe that this is coming from something completely unrelated
   to CPTUI, but because it’s occurring, it’s breaking our functionality.
 * Are you familiar with editing your wp-config.php file at all? I’m asking cause
   I’m curious what more details we can extract with something like the SCRIPT_DEBUG
   constant being set, so that the WP admin would not use the combined/minified 
   copies of javascript. This would allow for better tracking down exactly where
   the error is stemming from and what plugin/theme/file is triggering the error.

 * Hi! Thanks for the quick reply.
 * I did define script_debug to be true on my wp-config: [https://www.screencast.com/t/HP9cQaaC](https://www.screencast.com/t/HP9cQaaC)
 * Tried again, and couldn’t see any new info or error really: [https://www.screencast.com/t/OWjg3pnSjZ](https://www.screencast.com/t/OWjg3pnSjZ).
 * I even checked the php logs just in case, but those go 200 as well, and looks
   good. [https://www.screencast.com/t/HtgSwijOj](https://www.screencast.com/t/HtgSwijOj)
 * I will try some plugin/theme isolation testing just to see if one of them is 
   causing this, but if you have any other ideas, just let me know. THANKS!

 * yeah the isolation testing is the best I can suggest at this point. Start eliminating
   one by one until the issue goes away.
 * We don’t have any fancy JS going on outside of some light jQuery to handle some
   details, so I’m really curious at this point about the source of that error you’re
   seeing.

 * Hi! Just wanted to report. It is a conflict with an old plugin named “WP Advanced
   Comment”. Deactivating that plugin solves the issue, and I can edit CPTs fine.
 * I think its most possibly the other plugin’s fault as it is a bit of an old one,
   but I think you guys might want to know about it, as it interferes with CPTUI,
   and not my other plugins apparently.
 * Anyway thanks for the help and quick responses!
