Create plain text files through WordPress using a custom post type.
This came about because I needed a way to edit a JavaScript file on a blog that’s 
part of a multi site network setup, and I didn’t want to do a child theme for 
just that one blog and keep up with updating the JS through FTP. This way I can 
edit it directly inside of WordPress as I need to without firing up Notepad++ or 
FileZilla.
If you select either CSS or JavaScript as the file type you’ll have the option 
for the plugin to automatically link to the file within your page header, assuming 
your theme supports the wp_head callback. The links are created using either 
 wp_register_script / <code>wp_enqueue_script</code> or <code>wp_enqueue_style</code> / <code>wp_enqueue_style</code>.
And a thank you goes out to Ted Devito for his 
<a href="http://teddevito.com/demos/textarea.html" rel="nofollow ugc">Tabby jQuery plugin</a> that allows 
the capture of tabs inside the edit text area.

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!
