Custom post type malfunction

    Hello! I’m hoping someone can help me sort out a kerfuffle with custom post types for the episodes.

    Basically, at some point I accidentally deleted the ‘episodes’ post type in ACF and when I brought it back, I couldn’t access any of the test posts inside it. After fiddling around in ACF I managed to access the posts again, but the menu on the side still says “add page” instead of add episode, and when I tried to fix it by creating the post type again, it says the slug is being used by “a post type registered outside of ACF”.

    It’s actually messing up the display of the home page, as I can’t set up the ‘episodes’ archive to show up as my latest posts, and I can’t change the post type assigned in Podcast Importer to anything other than this broken post type, and simple posts.

    How can I fix this? At this stage I’m ready to nuke my entire website and start over, but I’m about to launch next week and don’t have the time to do all the setup again by then…

    Hey,

    Thanks for using our plugin!
    You’d have to delete those episodes from the database one way or another. You could try re-creating the same post type or access the DB directly then delete those posts.

    By default the plugin does not override existing posts, unless you use the “Re-Sync” option which is available on the Pro version.
