 * The plugin seems to work only when adding a new post.
 * it should also existing posts or at least add them when newly saved. any chance
   to implement this?
 * otherwise it’s a cool functionality that is really useful to have one less maintenance
   step.
 * Thx

 * Hello Beat,
    Your question is addressed in the FAQ:
 * “Can I add existing custom post types to the menu
 * Some users have many existing cpt’s and want to change them to a new menu. This
   can be done by selecting all your custom post types
    and setting them to ‘draft’
   status, then back to ‘publish’. The plugin will detect them as new, and they 
   will be added.”
 * This should still work, but you’ll have to test it out and let me know.
    thanks,
   Ken
