 * I’m using the qTranslateX plugin, and on saving a new custom post, it added some
   extra stuffs to my post name. eg: [:en]mypost[:]
 * Where is this post name (plural/single) stored? Can I change it directly in the
   database, so it will not get translated?

 * Ok I found it in wp_options table, with the option_name wpcf-custom-types.
    Name
   is serialized so will have to change the s:xx characters to reflect the new character
   count.
