The “Page and Post Description” plugin extends the capabilities of the standard Post-List in the Admin Panel.
Posts and Pages do not have Descriptions by default, but sometimes, when a lot of time passes, it can be difficult to remember what exactly is written in a particular page. And you have to spend time opening this Post to see its contents. A small Description – like a Note, can be of great help in some situations.
It is this new “Description” Field that is added to each Post. And it can be changed both on the Edit page (in the form of a Widget), and directly in the List of Posts (Posts and Pages)
The “Description” field (for brevity in the List named “Note” to make the most of the workspace and at the same time avoid abbreviations) is highlighted on a separate line for the entire width of the List, because these Descriptions can be long and detailed. Otherwise, there is no point in them.
This Plugin gives you this opportunity.

Customize the text labels, menu names or description for any registered custom post type using a simple Dashboard user interface. No PHP file editing is necessary!
<ul>
<li>Want to rename <code>Posts</code> to <code>News</code>?</li>
<li>Want to rename <code>Media</code> to <code>Files</code>?</li>
<li>Want to rename a <code>Portfolio</code> post type to <code>Projects</code>?</li>
</ul>
You can do all of this (and more) using this plugin.
For example, you could customize the following Custom Post Types:
<ul>
<li>The <code>Posts</code> Custom Post Type (created by WordPress Core)</li>
<li>The <code>Pages</code> Custom Post Type (created by WordPress Core)</li>
<li>The <code>Media</code> Custom Post Type (created by WordPress Core)</li>
<li>Any Custom Post Type that is created by a WordPress plugin</li>
<li>Any Custom Post Type that is created by a WordPress theme</li>
</ul>
This means that you no longer have to modify PHP files in order to rename a Custom Post Type!

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!
