[wp-testers] Custom post type changes on updating post title

[Nathaniel Taintor]

No, thats not the issue I'm having. From what I understand, that message can
be overridden by setting arguments to the $labels variable when registering
the post type.

I'm using two custom post types on my site: Videos (non-hierarchical), and
Agents/Locations (hierarchical). The basic arguments passed to register them
are

register_post_type( videos', array( 'label'=>'Videos', 'public'=>true,
'show_ui'=>true ) );
register_post_type( 'agents-locations', array( 'label'=>'Agents',
'public'=>true, 'show_ui'=>true, 'hierarchical'=>true,
'supports'=>array('title','editor','page-attributes', 'custom-fields') ) );

For both types, adding a new post through the "Add new" UI screen works
fine. Editing the content and meta fields and updating the posts also
behaves as expected.

The problem was, I wanted to recategorize some of my existing content into
these new custom post types. I did this through phpmyadmin, changing the
post-type field on these entries.  Now they show up in the right place, and
function as the proper post types.  The only problem arises when changing
either the post title or slug on one of these posts and updating - this
cause the post type to be reset to "post" or "page".
