Is any one else able to get this working?

I can't get this to work. I know sometimes the instructions for setting up something in a plugin (in this case, the custom post type ui), change, but if someone else has gotten this to work recently, I know it's just a typo or something.

Thanks for the help!

I was able to get it to work! I just had to visit Settings>Permalinks to refresh the permalinks.

Thanks, that helped me too! I don't understand why that helped, but it did.

Should have been either creating a CPT coded from scratch or using Generate WP. Instead of using a dependency like Custom Post Type UI.
