Support › MB Custom Post Type › Newly created custom post type name is not showing up in wordpress dashboard - lResolved
Hello,
The newly created custom post type name is not showing up in the WordPress dashboard - left sidebar. I have deactivated all plugins (except metabox and metabox AIO). still no luck. I am attaching a screenshot for reference.
I have assigned the menu position after "fluorescent proteins". Fluorescent proteins is another CPT created a couple of years ago.
one possible reason is I might have created CPT with this name years ago. Other than that I can not figure out what went wrong.

Hi,
Please try to re-save the permalink settings (Post name) to flush the cache and re-check the CPT.
Hi,
I did and it is not working
any other solution?
Hi,
Can you please share the code that creates the CPT? Refer to this documentation to get PHP code https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/meta-box-builder/#getting-php-code

Hi,
The post type slug must not exceed 20 characters and may only contain lowercase alphanumeric characters, dashes, and underscores. Refer to this documentation https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/register_post_type/
The slug tissue-clearing-method
has more than 20 characters. You can change it to something like tissue-clearing
.
Working now.
Thanks 🙂
