Client Request
Hi support,
The Developer that worked on my site created a custom post type for me that I need to
make some edits to.
Apparently it was done using a plugin called ACF, but it looks complicated and I'm not
sure how I can make changes mentioned below.
- Change wording in admin - All book text is using plural values, so if you go to add new
book it says "Add New Books", it should be "Add New Book"
- When I edit regular posts, I can get back to my previous edits by using Revisions that
show in the sidebar while editing posts. I don't see this option for books, is it possible to
add it?
- Can I have the Books menu item to be first in my admin section, above Dashboard?
This is the main item I use on my site and I want it to be on top. Also, is it possible to
change the icon from pin to a book?
- Is it possible to add something like categories for my Books? Same as the Posts have
Categories, I would like to have Book Authors for book posts.
Oh yeah, I did figure out how I can export stuff from ACF. Can you make the edits and
send me back a new file that I can then import?
ACF Export File
Best,
John

Hello John,
Sorry you had to go through all that stress. I can understand how things can be when you are trying to implement an idea you are working, but you are been faced by some challenges. Not to worry I have helped you fixed the issue.
Here you will find steps to rectify such issues incase it happens again.
- I setup a Staging site, and installed the Advanced Custom Field (ACF) plugin. This enabled me to see and understand what was really happening.
- After viewing it I tried making changes to the ACF post type details, but was not getting any headway. I then reversed back to the Json script you sent.
- Inside the label object of your Json file, I traced the Key names with
_item
or _new
and removed the additional āsā from each key value, and left the āsā on any Key names that had _items
.
