I set up some custom post types in custom press on a few of my sites. I know that classifieds and custompress don't play nice together right now, but if I were to delete custompress and install classifieds, would it see the post types that were already created? I would test it, but it's on a live site, and I don't want to risk it breaking.

Hi kewalter,
I've just tested the inverse and it works perfectly. The Classifieds custom post types remain intact with Classifieds deactivated, yet with CustomPress activated.
It would take a while longer for me to recreate the Classifieds custom post types but it I think it would be better to test your particular custom post types with it, no? If you'd like to attach a sample post from it (export tool xml file with a single post output perhaps), I can check it for you, though I could only say whether it works on my end here.
Would that work for you?
Cheers,
David

I appreciate you checking it. It looks like it should work and I'll have a chance this weekend or next week to test it on my live site.

Sure thing! Technically, it should work fine, especially given that the inverse of CustomPress using Classifieds post types after Classifieds is deactivated. But more so because the custom post type name is exactly the same. In any case, we'll be glad to know how it all works out! :)
Cheers,
David

Alright, I'll post after I try it out, just to verify it works.

I've removed custompress and completely deleted it, but when I install and enable Classifieds, it is breaking my site as if custompress is still activated. I'm receiving ever error message on the plugins page, the plugin options aren't all there and front end pages are all missing. I've double checked that custompress has been completely delete from the directory. Are there any other plugins that it has issues with. I don't have the directories plugin installed either, so that's not it.
edit: I set up a test site locally and I'm having no problem switching between custompress and classifieds.

The error I'm getting isn't the same as the fatal error from running Classified alongside custompress or directory. Attached is the error I get when activating Classified. When this happens, I can't change any plugin settings and have to directly delete the classified plugin folder.

I'm reading through it now, but here's the output from WP_DEBUG when I load the pages with errors. It looks like a lot of mysql errors.

Sorry, wasn't thinking. Here's a few examples:
WordPress database error MySQL server has gone away for query UPDATE 'wp_sitemeta' SET 'meta_value' = 'a:2: ...
PHP Notice: Undefined index: ct_delete_post_type_secret in C:\www\wp-content\plugins\classifieds\submodules\content-types\ct-core\ct-core.php on line 239
PHP Notice: Undefined index: page in C:\www\wp-content\plugins\classifieds\core\admin.php on line 124
There's a long list of errors like this. Seems like I'm getting mysql errors starting with classified. Also getting errors for the updates plugin and anything that tries to get loaded after classified

Strangely, the going from Classifieds to CustomPress seemed to work without a hitch. And I haven't seen Classifieds have issues with other plugins.
Just to check, did you by any chance export any of the Classifieds custom post types before all of this? Also, have you yet tried reinstalling CustomPress to maybe see if the Classifieds custom post types are still available to it?
Cheers,

Hiya kewalter,
Any further developments here? It's been about a week since we've heard from ya so I'm gonna go ahead and mark this one as resolved. If you need further assistance/troubleshooting feel free to re-open this thread or start a new one and we'll continue.
Thanks!

I'm going to have to bump this tread up as this is the most relevant place for it. I installed the classifieds plugin on my site and 3 days later got suspended by my hosting company. When I asked them to explain what was causing the issues they replied that:
Site is running the following query against the database server which is degrading performance for all other customers:
(my database name here)@UPDATE
wp_sitemetaSETmeta_value='a:2:{s:8:\"versions\";a:2:{s:7:\"version\";s:5:\"2.0.2\";s:10:\"db_version\";s:3:\"2.0\";}s:4:\"data\";a:3:{s:17:\"post_types_loaded\";a:36688:
there's a lot more gibberish code following this, but the main problem is pretty much the same as stated in the posts above.
I guess my question is this: is this plugin to heavy to run on shared hosting and needs a vps and if thats not the case then what is?
Thanks

Hiya Alex,
Apologies as this post seems to have been overlooked.
Try updating to the latest version:
http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/classifieds
That definitely shouldn't be happening. That process also shouldn't be running continually.
If it's a new or test install of the plugin, you may want to delete the database entry (in wp_sitemeta) as well.
The plugin should be just fine on most shared hosting accounts. We recommend at least 128mb of memory for WordPress + the plugins.
Hope this helps.
Thanks!
