 * Hi there!
 * I just noticed a strange issue; in post pages on the back end, WP is not displaying
   posts correctly when CPTUI is active.
 * Here’s the query on the Posts admin page when CPTUI is inactive:
    [https://teamrubiconusa.box.com/s/gz4c9xf73gfoq0vni9ju8dlue95d9sow](https://teamrubiconusa.box.com/s/gz4c9xf73gfoq0vni9ju8dlue95d9sow)
 * And when CPTUI is active:
    [https://teamrubiconusa.box.com/s/xgh4ds1mnxkc0l3b4q382cp9frw1hvq7](https://teamrubiconusa.box.com/s/xgh4ds1mnxkc0l3b4q382cp9frw1hvq7)
 * I tested with all other plugins disabled, so I can eliminate that as a potential
   cause.
 * Any thoughts on what’s going on here?
 * Cheers!

 * What post type slugs are you using for all your post types? Same question for
   the taxonomies.

 * Do you mean permalink structure?
 * It’s set to “Post Name: [https://teamrubiconusa.org/sample-post/&#8221](https://teamrubiconusa.org/sample-post/&#8221);
 * Note this is affecting pages as well – it’s not limited to posts.

 * No, I am referring to the slugs used for the post types, first field in the CPTUI
   post type editor.
 * Based on the screenshots, I’m curious if you’re using “fields” as one of the 
   slugs, and part of 1.5.1 has a fix that actually blacklists that slug, since 
   it causes issues like you’re seeing.

 * There’s two post types registered by CPTUI:
    – Author, with the slug “author”–
   Operations, with the slug “operation”
 * There aren’t any taxonomies registered by CPTUI
 * There are a few CPTs that are built into the theme, but none with the slug fields.
   Are there any other slugs that you know are problematic?

 * Looks like “author” is going to be the culprit here.

 * Should be able to move those with almost no issue, in terms of author posts already
   created. Anywhere that’s specifying on the frontend would need manually amended.
 * We have the functionality built in to rename the post type slug, and preserve
   the content, just need to check the appropriate checkbox.

 * That was indeed the culprit!
 * Thanks for the prompt support 🙂
