I'm registering the following post type:

register_post_type( 'post', array(
    'hierarchical' => true,
    'public'       => true
) );

Now I have duplicate "Pages" menu items in WordPress Admin Menu. It should be not "Pages" but rather "Posts".

In older versions of WordPress ( < 4.4 ) everything was alright. Any suggestions to do the same? Most important is to make my posts hierarchical.

    Well posts aren't hierarchical - pages are. Trying to change that potentially opens a can of worms. Why don't you just use pages? Or a custom post type? Any reasons?

  • @kraftner is correct. Trying to clobber a Core Post type is a bad, bad idea. Why are you (and why do you need to) convert the "Post" type into, essentially, the "Page" type? You already have pages.

I can only speculate onto why the labels are "Pages" and not "Posts" but I do know that post is on the list of reserved post types. The fact is that post is already registered by default as your normals Posts so you cannot re-register it. Here's a list of Default Post Types with their respective post type slugs.

What you want to do is actually create your own Custom Post Type. Steps to register Custom Post Type.
