Post Scriptum
This was first drafted on 2nd February 2014. This post script was added on 17th April 2014.- The post-type-switcher plugin is broken in WordPress 3.9.
- Saving Draft… never completes and the Publish button remains disabled.
- I’ve tweeted @jjj and performed a few tests just to confirm it.
- Not looked at the code yet.
- I’ve decided to deactivate the plugin.
- It’s a shame… it was really useful for 2 months
