We are creating a custom post type with field names that are easy to identify and remember. Our partner explained that the description field cannot be renamed. Is this true?

    The description parameter when registering a post type? As far as I know it isn't used anywhere unless the theme specifies it but it can be updated to display a different description after registration but the parameter key itself cannot be renamed. Could you edit your question and post an example or use-case, please?

  • Second to Howdy's comment. As long as you have a good backup, you should be perfectly fine to change the description text.
