 * Thanks for this very useful plugin.
    I have the following bug to report. It converted
   the post type as intended. That part worked great. However, I notice that when
   I view the Posts > Categories, WP will continue to show that there are posts 
   inside the categories I have converted to another post type. Let’s say I converted
   all posts in the category “Meals” over to a new type called “Recipes”, and I 
   had 10 recipes in total. All 10 change from Posts to Recipes, but I will still
   see “10” as the number of posts in the “Meals” Posts category. If I click the“
   10” it will take me to the “Meals” category, and show that it is empty.
 * This leaves me to believe that perhaps the plugin is not changing everything 
   it needs to in the database.

 * It worked mostly for me as well, although the css on the conversion page was 
   slightly broken. The button itself to begin the conversion is almost blocked 
   by the footer. Probably some missing tag or something.
