Custom Post Type Editor

I was tinkering with events plugins and finally found they were all over-qualified for what I needed. 

After spending 10 minutes with some serious thinking over a Rum Orange, I decided I actually didn’t need default Posts for this project—they’d be my “events”! I’d just have to rename the default “Post” post type labels which I knew was possible, but I didn’t feel like looking up what exactly I’d need to code. (Did I mention Rum Orange? Yeah …)

Finding this plugin and getting the job done was a matter of 6.491 minutes.

Cheers! 🍹

Had to rename default Posts post type while drunk—worked!
