 * Thank you for this great plugin which I use on different sites.
 * I am using the latest version of the plugin to use the new option of assinging
   exisiting posts after renameing a slug of a custom post type.
    As I am using 
   the WPML plugin I have e.g. 34 posts in German and 34 posts in English which 
   should be assigned to the changed slug. In my case I have a cpt with a slug in
   German (`publikationen`) which needs to be changed to an English slug (`publications`)
   to get it work with the latest version of the WPML plugin (due a bug in WPML)
   and assign all posts in German and English to the `publications` slug without
   loosing their language set. By using the “assign posts to renamed slug” option
   my cpt posts lost their multilanguage support so no language is defined for my
   cpt `publications`. I appreciate any help on this problem.

 * Honestly, I’m not sure what’s going on with this one. The post type switching
   that I introduced in 1.1.0 should only be affecting one specific column in the
   wp_posts table, everything else related to each post should be staying intact
   for all previous settings.
 * I don’t have a copy of WPML so I could test anything, but my hunch is that there
   is a setting somewhere that still has the old german slug and thus the disconnect.
   Perhaps some post meta?

 * Hi Michael,
 * thank you for your response and shame on me …
    I just forgot to assing the correct
   cpt also in WPML again, so everything is working fine and saved me a lot of time
   as I do not have to edit the database table column for changing the slug. Thank
   you again for this great new feature in your plugin.
