Thanks for your feedback.
Because sidebars make use of the Custom Post Type API, the saving process is carried out by mechanisms in WordPress Core. Therefore, it should not be possible for a sidebar to suddenly become another type – unless other mechanisms are forcing it to.
Can you give me the list of the activated plugins on your site as well as the full name of your theme?
Hi Joachim, it’s a custom theme in development, basically bare-bones right now, not much more than CSS and a few plugins right now. The plugins I have enabled are:
Enhanced Text Widget
HTTP Authentication
Post Type Switcher
Ultimate Post Widget
Wordpress Sass
Wordpress SEO
I haven’t had time to do a lot of testing enabling/disabling plugins, but I did try a few combinations that didn’t seem to make a difference.
Thanks!
Without knowing the listed plugins, my first guess is that Post Type Switcher might be at fault. This is because this plugin has the functionality to change the post type. I might be wrong, of course.
Can you disable Post Type Switcher and confirm/deny whether the problem persists?
That seemed to fix it, it looks like Post Type Switcher wasn’t able to see your custom post type (when I tried to use it revert, sidebar wasn’t an option) and was defaulting it back to a normal post. Thanks!
