Custom Post Type Name

Hi, I noticed on the tutorial that the custom post type Testimonial now has the option to Add New Testimonial rather than the default Add New Project. Can anyone advise how to make this change? Thanks. Mike

Hi Mike,

In the labels array set your add_new_item value to Add New Project and you're done, for reference see.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your help on this. I read the codex but I am not sure which .php file I can find the add_new_item value. I am beginner so apoloigies if I am asking really basic questions but I would be very grateful if you could point me in the right direction.

Thanks again

Mike
