 * As the title suggests, upon activating the plugin it causes special post types
   to return a 404 error (like profile post entries or featured articles, product
   post types etc..) but pages are left untouched.
 * I have to deactiave the plugin and re-save my original permalink settings to 
   fix the issue.
 * Update: I can get it to work and place nicely with custom post types created 
   by my theme by setting permalinks to default. It’s ugly, but does allow the plugin
   to work.
