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,

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.

Is there a way to increase the character limit in the URL? This is not good for our SEO, to choose less than 20 characters.

Hello Jordan,

You can try to use the rewrite option to set the unlimited characters for CPT slug. It is not restricted by WordPress. Refer to the documentation https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/register_post_type/#rewrite
