 * Tried to install it in every possible way, but it’s not working. Says it does
   not have a valid header. Please fix, thanks!

 * Sorry about that. Works now.
    You will probably need to erase the folder from
   your plugins dir.

 * I figured out that part. Now nothing saves, I can’t add fields nor can I hide
   the areas as suggested.

 * [@dgodfather](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dgodfather/) Did you completely
   remove the old files?

 * Deleted the old files. Now I get “Fatal error: Call to undefined function field_type_edit_default()
   in …wp-content/plugins/content-types-wordpress-plugin/build-fields.php on line
   59”
 * Looks promising though!

 * Yeah. Getting use to the plugin hosting quirks and id10t errors. It’s good to
   go now.

 * Hmm… I get to the add new content type page, but when I click the “Add field 
   button” or links to “hide advanced features” it just takes me to the top of the
   page.
 * If I hover a link it says “….wp-admin/post-new.php?post_type=content-type#”.

 * Let me try reinstalling one more time. Javascript is enable. Might be another
   plugin conflict.
 * Update: It appears to be in conflict with another plugin. Anyway you could get
   it to load yours last or something?
 * I’m testing to find the problem.
