   Would this also work to change the name on custom post types created for a specific theme?

   Is there a way to get this to change the “New+ > Post” text as well? Also on the actual screen it says “Posts” still. I would love if there was a code this short that a ‘do it all’ type.

   Ahh! That’s pretty neat. I’m not handy with codings myself, but would this work using ‘change_post_to_tutorial’ instead of ‘change_post_to_article’? I got a tutorial website, so I figure that would suit it well
