i get this error: "You cannot use this slug because it is already used or a reserved word. Please choose a different slug."
when i try to update this post type: hidden link

i'm not changing the slug - i just want to remove editor capability from the post type. the slug is remaining the same.

here's exactly what i see in video form: hidden link

is this a bug? I just want to update the post type settings without changing the slug.

you'll probably need to log in, do to so, CLICK HERE: hidden link

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

The admin login link with the access token didn't work, but, this message can show if the website has the same post type slug ( i.e. "vibration-mount" ), set for any single page/post or the taxonomy term.

It is possible that such a single page/post or the taxonomy term was created after this post type and now you're seeing this message on when trying to update the post type settings. I'll recommend checking existing posts/pages and terms change the slug where it matches and then you'll be able to update the post type too.
( please also look for the items in the trash )

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.

regards,
Waqar
