# Old Install: Remove Post Type from post, without theme support.

 * I have a WP 4.8.1 install, and one of the posts has somehow been set as a Quote
   post (there’s an inverted comma logo proceeding its name in the post list). My
   theme doesn’t support post types, and this is the only post on the site to have
   a post type assigned.
 * I don’t have any options in the UI to remove the post type, presumably because
   the theme doesn’t support them.
 * What’s the solution to this? Enabling post types via functions.php, then setting
   that post to Unassigned, then removing post type support in functions.php?
 * I want to avoid inadvertently adding post type “unassigned” or similar to all
   my posts.
 * Thanks.

 * ahh no worry, switched the theme to twenty seventeen, set it to unassigned, then
   switched back, problem solved.

 * Nice if it could be solved that way. You are welcome to set the topic to solved.
