# Convert FROM Multisite, Cannot edit Custom Post Types

 * Using WordPress 3.4.1, I recently converted from WordPress Multisite to a Normal
   WordPress (dumping the subsites in favor of the main site) install by removing
   the MultiSite code from wp-config.php or simply defining the constants as false.
 *     ```
       define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', false);
       define( 'MULTISITE', false );
       ```
   
 * However, when I do this on the main site, the administrators cannot edit posts
   of custom post types. They can edit posts and pages, but they cannot edit their
   custom post types. They all take the standard, default capabilities (post), capability
   types, maps, etc.
 * Any help here would be fantastic!

 * How did you add the CPTs to the site?
 * Is it in your theme or in a plugin or an mu-plugin…?

 * Registered them in a core functionality plugin. Simple one file plugin.

 * Can you share the code on Pastebin?
 * I ask because there are a lot of ways to do it with Multisite if you don’t want
   your CPTs to show on all sites, and sometimes you have to un do that to go back
   to Single Site.
 * My guess is that you still have some Multisite Specific code in there.
 * (Personally I have a site-cpt.php file, sitting in /mu-plugins for my single 
   sites)
