Title: Invalid post type on wp-admin/edit.php Last modified: June 27, 2017 --- # Invalid post type on wp-admin/edit.php * Resolved [honza.skypala](https://wordpress.org/support/users/honzaskypala/) * (@honzaskypala) * [8 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-post-type-on-wp-adminedit-php/) * Hi all, * sudenly I’m getting an error _Invalid post type_ when I try to access “Posts”( i.e. file wp-admin/edit.php) in the admin area. * Also, I cannot edit any existing post (using a direct URL), then I get an error“ Sorry, you are not allowed to edit posts in this post type.” * Other admin pages do work fine. I can access the dashboard, themes, tags, even pages, all that works fine. * I tried to disable all the plugins and switched to a theme TwentyFifteen, but it does not help. Still getting the same problem. * I’m running my site on WordPress since year 2009, never faced such problem. Any idea?

Other boxes are present on the webpage. * [jirkadus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jirkadus/) * (@jirkadus) * [8 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-post-type-on-wp-adminedit-php/#post-9267378) * Hey, I am having absolutely the same issues for about 1 hour. Started when I was actually working on one of my pages. I am hosted on Wedos. * Then I tried already reinstall WordPress like 5 times,, including setting up a new DB. Even after fresh installation, I can see count of pages after going to Pages, but none in the list of actual pages ([http://i.imgur.com/QtsNWDb.png](http://i.imgur.com/QtsNWDb.png)). Getting “Invalid post type.” error when I click on Posts, or cant create new pages, as there are buttons missing ([http://i.imgur.com/fFLtS90.png](http://i.imgur.com/fFLtS90.png)). * Not sure what if this is issue of WordPress or Wedos. - This reply was modified 8 years, 11 months ago by [jirkadus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jirkadus/).

I deactivated all plugins, re-activated them. Still, same error when trying to access all posts from admin backend. Then tried to update Wp to version 4.8 w/o any success. Dear support any advise? And we are also on wedos, seems to be a CZ prob, LOL * Thread Starter [honza.skypala](https://wordpress.org/support/users/honzaskypala/) * (@honzaskypala) * [8 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-post-type-on-wp-adminedit-php/#post-9267550) * Also my web is hosted at Wedos. I talked with their support and they said they have multiple reports from their customers with this problem and their technicians are looking at it. Let’s hope it get’s fixed soon. * [holylibor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/holylibor/) * (@holylibor) * [8 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-post-type-on-wp-adminedit-php/#post-9267665) * So Suddenly it started to work. I checked all 3 pages and on all of them, everything is fine now. I vill have a chat with wedos guys to get an idea of what to hack was wrong. I was about to modify the edit.php, LOL * [holylibor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/holylibor/) * (@holylibor) * [8 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-post-type-on-wp-adminedit-php/#post-9267701) * Howdy, Wedos installed a newer version of Apache and got some probs on mod_rewrite module. So they rolled back and probs are gon. * [jirkadus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jirkadus/) * (@jirkadus) * [8 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-post-type-on-wp-adminedit-php/#post-9268141) * i see… I hate these frustrating moments when trying to fix something I actually can’t. But I am glad that it has been now fixed and can confirm that. * Thread Starter [honza.skypala](https://wordpress.org/support/users/honzaskypala/) * (@honzaskypala) * [8 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-post-type-on-wp-adminedit-php/#post-9268258) * Yes, also started to work for me and I got the same explanation from Wedos. * [mrioa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrioa/) * (@mrioa) * [8 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-post-type-on-wp-adminedit-php/#post-9270676) * I also had the same problem on my local development system today after updating to Apache 2.4.26. There’s already a [bug report](https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=61202) for it. * A quick fix, if you don’t have access to your webserver config, is to add a line in your .htaccess file: * `ProxyFCGIBackendType GENERIC` * According to the Apache 2.4.26 [changelog](http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/CHANGES_2.4.26) they changed this setting to FPM and created this new setting to let server admins change it back to the old GENERIC value. * [Ivan Arnaudov](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ivanarnaudov/) * (@ivanarnaudov) * [8 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-post-type-on-wp-adminedit-php/#post-9270945) * @mrioia: `ProxyFCGIBackendType GENERIC` did not work for me but I was able to switch from FPM to FCGId because I run my own host. A big THANK YOU for this valuable info. * [francdore](https://wordpress.org/support/users/francdore/) * (@francdore) * [8 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-post-type-on-wp-adminedit-php/#post-9316491) * THANK YOU!! * It worked like a charm. * Had this problem on my local machine and added ProxyFCGIBackendType GENERIC to my htaccess file and it worked. * Thanks! * [Zane](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xane_777/) * (@xane_777) * [8 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-post-type-on-wp-adminedit-php/#post-9349714) * Worked 100% as well.
