 * Suddenly a client who is running Easy Post Types 1.1 is no longer seeing the 
   custom post type in the admin menu, and the posts themselves are missing. They
   are in the database, but not accessible via the admin. Custom queries are pulling
   the data, but the permalinks are putting them under the “uncategorized” blog 
   category now, which causes the single post type template to break. I don’t see
   the post type or custom taxonomies listed in the Easy Post Types admin. Is there
   any way to fix that without having to start from scratch? I’m scared to update
   the plugin, as it seems something has gone awry with the WP database.

 * Never mind, folks. Rackspace had moved the site to a new storage node, then taken
   it upon themselves to do a global search and replace for the old file paths in
   MySQL. That broke the plugin. I was able to find the DB record in MySQL that 
   had the Easy Post Types config data, and re-replace with the old file paths and
   we’re back up and running again.

 * And… the DB record in question is in wp_options, option_name = ct_content_types,
   just in case anyone else runs into this. Change back any absolute file paths 
   to your old storage node path and it will bring back your custom post types/taxonomies/
   fields.
