# CPT UI post types missing

 * Hi,
 * I had some issues with the WP installation so I backup the files and reinstalled
   WordPress manually. I Uploaded all plugins manually and some I chose to upload
   the latest versions. All worked fine except for Custom Post Types UI.
 * I had 2 post types set up. Faculty and Bulletin on our college website.
 * Now When I login to the dashboard and load CPT UI, it only says Add post types
   and there are no existing post types.
 * The post types are also not listed in the sidebar.
 * However, when I created the same post types, it says post type already exists
   and might cause conflicts.
 * You can see the ‘missing’ of post types and the error message here: [http://www.govindadasacollege.edu.in/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/gdcwp-1.png](http://www.govindadasacollege.edu.in/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/gdcwp-1.png)
 * And yes, there is a page with a slug faculty which was created afterwards.
 * This link : [http://www.govindadasacollege.edu.in/faculty/atul-bhat](http://www.govindadasacollege.edu.in/faculty/atul-bhat)
   used to work earlier but now it gives a 404 error.
 * All the faculty posts are intact in the db. I just need to get the post type 
   restored.
 * What do I do?

 * Assuming the backup has the post type posts in question, you should be able to
   get them back once you re-register post types with the same slugs as before. 
   The error you’re seeing there is some preventive measures we’ve added, to avoid
   potential conflicts between post types and pages with the same slug. Should be
   able to get around this temporarily by renaming your “Faculty” page to say “facultys”
   or similar, long enough to remove the conflict and then rename the page slug 
   back to what it was. Biggest thing to keep in mind there is that you’ll have 
   potential issues if you’re wanting your post type to have an archive as well,
   since WordPress won’t always know if you’re wanting the post type archive or 
   the page of “faculty”
 * Hopefully you still have the posts in the post types though, that’d be my biggest
   concern overall here.
