I changed the name of a custom post type after seeing it appear twice in dropdowns.
It was "Feed Items." After seeing it twice in dropdowns, I changed its name to Feed Articles... and I still see "Feed Items"

I visited this URL:

I expected to see: No more listing of "Feed Items"

Instead, I got: it's still there, along with the new name.

Hi Jon

Seeing it twice in the dropdowns shouldn't happen in the first place. In your debug info I can see your registered post types and it shows only Feed Articles and not Feed Items.

I suspect a conflict with another plugin may be responsible. Can we first eliminate that possibility?

Disable all of your non-Toolset plugins and then re-check. If it is a plugin conflict you can re-enable them one-by-one or in batches to track down which.

Similarly, can you test your theme by switching to twentyseventeen and re-testing.

Let me know what that reveals.

It's WP RSS Aggregator... it had already created that CPT, it seems. Deactivating it causes the duplicate to disappear.
So, I'll use the Types CPT and just avoid the other..:)
