# Invalid post type when bulk-editing posts

 * Hello,
    This is a great plugin. However, we found that, when enabled, this plugin
   causes an error “Invalid post type” when bulk-editing posts. When we disable 
   the plugin, the bulk edit completes without issues. What I mean by bulk-edit:
   go to Posts, select a few, click Edit, (change categories, or authors) and then
   save the edits. If we ever need to to these edits, we have to disable the plugin.
   On a busy site, this is a bit painful, because we then have to put the site in
   maintenance mode. Disabling the event calendar creates empty pages/errors, which
   we don’t want users to see.

 * Hello,
    I have found the same problem…
 * This issue been discussed before but without any solution, perhaps due to a the
   lack of step-by-step instructions on how to reproduce the error.
 * _Se old thread posted by someone else; [https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/invalid-post-type-bulk-edit-post-tags/](https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/invalid-post-type-bulk-edit-post-tags/)_
 * **How to reproduce error:**
    1. Go to Posts -> All Posts 2. Click on a tag i 
   the tag column to filter by a tag (adress should be something like wp-admin/edit.
   php?tag=music) 3. Now select 2 or more posts and Bulk Edit. 4. Try to add another
   tagg and Update 5. You should get Invalid Post Type error.
