[wp-hackers] Custom post type & hierarchical

[Michael Clark]

Good morning everyone,

Looking through trac I found that when you set up a hierarchical 
custom_post_type, you have to flush the rewrite rules. From 
http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/13490 :

"After registering a post type, you need to flush the rewrite rules 
in order for the new rules to take effect, This is probably whats 
caught you, you've set it up first without the hierarchical flag set, 
then changed it, which has enabled the UI, but the rules are still 
only for non-hierarchical."

I added this code to the bottom of my function create_my_post_types() 
and all is good now.
	global $wp_rewrite;
	$wp_rewrite->flush_rules(false);

Many thanks for your help. Mike
