I tried using the 'Simple Usage' code in my functions.php file. I got it to come up like I needed at the bottom of my posts and then I entered the information.
Once I click update/publish on the post the screen refreshes and says published. Then I scroll down and realize that the content I just entered in the fields has disappeared.
Can someone please help me figure out why this is?
Thanks in advance!

I also noticed this. I'm running WP 3.2.1 and ECF 0.1.
I've poked around a bit and it looks like the plugin is failing on this line:
if ( !current_user_can( $post_type_object->edit_cap ) )
From what I can tell, the $post_type_object, which is from get_post_type_object(), doesn't actually contain edit_cap. The object does contain $post_type_object->capability_type, but as admin returns 'post,' which isn't on this list for current_user_can() (http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities).
In the end, I changed the line to:
if ( !current_user_can( $post_type_object->cap->edit_post ) )
There are several user roles under $post_type_object->cap. I figured if the user is allowed to edit the post, the should be allowed to add custom field data.
Everything *seems* to be working now. YMMV.

Thanks for pointing this out. I updated the plugin accordingly.
