[Plugin: Custom Content Type Manager] Where does CCTM keep its data?

    I was using CCTM to create a new custom post type by duplicating and old one, but suddenly after finishing this action ALL of my custom post types and custom fields disappeared from the menu (and they are not accessible in the frontend).

    Where CCTM should keep my custom post types and custom fields? I was checking the database but I didn’t find anything? Should I search in the files? The amount of work I put in creating and configuring my custom post types was really huge, so I have to find some of them in one of my backups at least (or check existing files/database if they still exists but are not accessible for some reason).

    All the data is stored in the wp_options table under the key cctm_data. Can you export your data under the CCTM –> Tools menu?

    I was able to execute an export, but my data wasn’t in it, as if the plugin was used.
    Fortunately, knowing where to look, I was able to replace the record in the database with the one from my most recent backup and recover most of the data. It saved me a lot of work, thanks.

    Sorry for the panic there — I do check duplication functionality before releasing versions. If you can provide any additional info as to what lead up to this I can look into it further. Once I see a case where something fails I can fix it.

    I looked into the problem and it seems that it’s not caused by the duplication itself.
    The problem here are the characters specyfic to Polish alphabet. I was trying to put them in Menu Name of the new post type. Although the post type is created, trying to do anything with it (editing, duplicating etc.) results either in Invalid post type or Unrecognized post_type error. Every existing custom post type is erased in both cases.

    Sorry for causing a commotion if the problem was already known.

    Man, the UTF8 characters have already caused me so many headaches that I know the issue # by heart: issue 88. It would be very helpful for you to file a bug report on this with steps to reproduce.

    Thanks!

    Did you file a bug report for this? It is a serious issue, so I want to rectify it, but I know I’ll forget about it if it’s not in the bug tracker. Thanks!
