# [Plugin: Post Type Switcher] Conflict with ACF plugin

 * Just thought I’d pass on that if I am creating or updating an Advanced Custom
   Field group, on either publishing or updating, Post Type Switcher automatically
   changes the post type to “post”, which in turn breaks ACF. Deactivating Post 
   Type Switcher, making my changes, and then reactivating works, but is a little
   counter-productive.

 * This is an outstanding issue, that seems to be with ACF and the way it saves 
   post data. I’ve put a filter in PTS to bypass this, but it’s not optimal.
 * I’ll be updating this plugin soon, hopefully bypassing these potential conflicts.

 * Should be fixed in 1.2.
