But get the message "Form type and post type do not match"
Can't select a post type that maches. They don't appear on "View with: ------ View on front-end" Both on a custom post type and on the Worpress normal Posts.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Toolset support team,

The most common reason for this is that you're trying to edit a different post type than the form is assigned to edit. Given that you say the form is on a page, I'm assuming that it's trying to edit the page itself rather than your intended post type which would cause the issue.

Here are other similar cases that could help you :

- https://toolset.com/forums/topic/error-message-form-type-and-post-type-do-not-match/

Hopefully I was able to provide some clarity on this one for you.

If there are any further questions, please let me know.

Hello,

I would like to ask for temporary access to your site’s wp-admin and FTP to investigate the issue further.

Kindly guide me with the steps on how to replicate the problem.

It is important to note that you should back up your site and database before proceeding, and you can use a plugin like Duplicator for this purpose. Here’s a link to the plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/

For your privacy and security, please ensure that you make your reply a private one.

Best regards,

Oké,

The most important thing to me is that the edit post forms are being displays in a normal Toolset "empty" template.
