Hi Dan, Thanks so much for your report! I haven’t tried to replicate the issue yet, but have you re-saved your permalinks after adding the CPT? That might solve the “invalid post type” error. Please let me know if it helps, otherwise I’ll investigate deeper. Best regards, timmse ---

yes i have tried re-saving permalinks and also cleared cache too. Spun up a brand new site last night and the issue still persists. For me anyhow ---

Hey, I followed your steps and created a CPT “Artists”, re-saved the permalinks, and can edit child posts as usual as you can see: ![CleanShot 2023-02-02 at 11.47.29@2x](https://forum.bricksbuilder.io/uploads/default/original/2X/9/937665d37665e66d52fbda63901f5b160f4d4707.png) 1. Do you have any custom code or other plugins installed that might influence the permalink behavior? 2. Can you provide us with login credentials (please send them + a link to this thread to [help@bricksbuilder.io](mailto:help@bricksbuilder.io) using the email address from purchasing Bricks)?

Hmm, interesting. I tried this on 3 different sites and did not work on any of them, even after saving permalinks. Let me spin up some new sites and test some more over the weekend ---

I have spun up a couple of new sites and not getting this error. There is 1 site that is still causing problems but i suspect it is something with a plugin. Getting lots of errors on this site tbh so it could be anything. Happy for this to be marked as no bug though as a new clean install is working as intended. ---
