None of that worked for me; but probably because the CPT's were from the theme it self. "Flora"
What did work: [placed within child theme --> functions.php]
function delete_post_type(){
unregister_post_type( 'wyde_portfolio' );
unregister_post_type('wyde_team_member');
unregister_post_type('wyde_testimonial');
}
add_action('init','delete_post_type');
Then used a plugin to rid DB of the post's data.
CPT Cleanup
None of this worked for me.. Why do we continue to use this horrible CMS? #clownworld
@fgilio it may be built in. - but doesn't work as this thread shows it is a clusterF8ck nightmare of a solution.
If you created the cpti in the admin panel - you have to delete it from the admin panel . functions.php doesn't seem to have any effect at all - shocking , I know. .. smh

@fgilio good find, just note that the function can't be used to remove default post types.
