Post type 'Posts' missing from admin menu

Hello all,

I took over a project for a company who’s developer left in a hurry. Not the best way to get involved, but it’s going okay. One of the things I’m having a hard time tracking down is the omission of ‘Posts’ from the Admin menu.

Things of note:

• Types Plug-inemployed
• Looking at the global $menu; array, posts appears in at $menu[5][0]

I have searched all configurations for – but there is nothing outright saying not to appear:
remove_menu_page('edit.php')

I have read somewhere that Custom Post Types suppress the display, but no longer can I find that blog post and it doesn’t appear to be a common constraint.

Any ideas?
