 * I was getting errors after saving a new template in the WP admin so used WP Query
   to find that in save.php the table was not taking into account a custom prefix
 * $wpdb->update(‘wp_posts’,
    [ ‘post_name’ => wp_unique_post_slug( $slug, $post-
   >ID, ‘publish’, $post->post_type, $post->post_parent ), ], [ ‘ID’ => $post->ID]);};
 * In our instance wp_posts is customprefix_posts

 * I’ve hard-coded our prefix for now and it’s working fine. Hopefully it will come
   out in an update

 * Hi [@chrisrixxo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrisrixxo/), I’m just chiming
   in here to let you know that I’ve passed the information along to a developer.
   I’ll follow up here with updates.

 * Hi [@chrisrixxo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrisrixxo/), I just realized
   that I forgot to follow up here with an update, but I’m noticing that version
   3.1.1 of the plugin that was released on December 30 included this in the changelog:“
   Template post types: Support any database table prefix including `wp_`” so I 
   believe this should now be resolved. Not sure if this thread was marked as resolved
   previously as a result of this release, but I figured I’d follow up here in case
   you missed the release. Let me know if you notice any other issues 🙂
