Custom post type not appearing in WordPress admin menu

I am facing an issue. I’m new in wordpress. I created a function for custom post types. This is my code.

function my_cpt(){
    $labels = array(
        'name' => 'SM & Points Templates',
        'add_new' => 'Add New SM & Points Template(s)',
        'add_new_item' => 'Add New SM & Points Template(s)',
        'edit_item' => 'Edit SM & Points Template(s)'
    );
    $args = array(
        'labels' => $labels,
        'menu_icon' => 'dashicons-arrow-right-alt',
        'public' => true,
        'supports' => array('title')
    );
    register_post_type('custom_settings', $args);
    $labels1 = array(
        'name' => 'Fine Print',
        'add_new' => 'Add New Fine Print',
        'add_new_item' => 'Add New Fine Print',
        'edit_item' => 'Edit Fine Print'
    );
    $args1 = array(
        'labels' => $labels1,
        'menu_icon' => 'dashicons-arrow-right-alt',
        'public' => true,
        'supports' => array('title')
    );
    register_post_type('fine_prints', $args1);
    $labels2 = array(
        'name' => 'Post Hints',
        'add_new' => 'Add New Post Hint',
        'add_new_item' => 'Add New Post Hint',
        'edit_item' => 'Edit Post Hint'
    );
    $args2 = array(
        'labels' => $labels2,
        'menu_icon' => 'dashicons-arrow-right-alt',
        'public' => true,
        'supports' => array('editor')
    );
    register_post_type('post_hints', $args2);
    $labels3 = array(
        'name' => 'States',
        'add_new' => 'Add New State',
        'add_new_item' => 'Add New State',
        'edit_item' => 'Edit State'
    );
    $args3 = array(
        'labels' => $labels3,
        'menu_icon' => 'dashicons-arrow-right-alt',
        'public' => true,
        'supports' => array('title')
    );
    register_post_type('states', $args3);
    $labels4 = array(
        'name' => 'Help',
        'add_new' => 'Add Help',
        'add_new_item' => 'Add Help',
        'edit_item' => 'Edit Help'
    );
    $args4 = array(
        'labels' => $labels4,
        'menu_icon' => 'dashicons-arrow-right-alt',
        'public' => true,
        'supports' => array('title')
    );
    register_post_type('helps', $args4);
}

add_action('init',  'my_cpt');

The issue is that First 4 posts are appearing in admin menu. But last Helps is not appearing in menu bar. Where am I wrong? Please see the this image.

After States, there should be Help.

EDIT:

When I was adding the last custom post, I made a small mistake. I added this code.

$labels4 = array(
    'name' => 'Help',
    'add_new' => 'Add Help',
    'add_new_item' => 'Add Help',
    'edit_item' => 'Edit Help'
);
$args4 = array(
    'labels' => $labels4,
    'menu_icon' => 'dashicons-arrow-right-alt',
    'public' => true,
    'supports' => array('title')
);
register_post_type('states', $args4);

Now the last two custom post types had same id states. But when I saw it, I changed it to helps. It was appearing when I added it for the first time with states id. But when I changed it to helps, It disappeared. In the top menu, Helps is visible under New but not in admin menu.

  1. Well, the final menu must appear because the code is right..Try to make the last menu in a separate function and hook..maybe it appears like:

    function my_custom_post_type(){
      $labels = array(
        'name' => 'Help',
        'add_new' => 'Add Help',
        'add_new_item' => 'Add Help',
        'edit_item' => 'Edit Help'
    );
    $args = array(
        'labels' => $labels,
        'menu_icon' => 'dashicons-arrow-right-alt',
        'public' => true,
        'supports' => array('title')
    );
    register_post_type('helps', $args);
    }
    
    add_action('init',  'my_custom_post_type');`
    
  2. I found the issue. There was a conflict with plugin WooCommerce Deals. When I deactivated it, the issue was resolved.
