 * first check the first argument in register_post_type (in you functions.php of
   you theme) this value is the post_type key.
 * Comment the register_post_type function.
 * add a new post type with MF, set the value in Type name field. customize all 
   options you need.
 * All post created when post type (theme) be available in you post type (Magic 
   fields)
