Change the Divi Project Post Type Name and Slug

Written by Dan Mossop

Divi includes a "Project" Custom Post Type (CPT) which can be used to create projects for display in the Divi portfolio module and Divi filterable portfolio module. If you'd like to change the name / slug of the project post type to something else, there are several ways you can do it.

Renaming the Project Post Type using Divi Booster

Divi Booster includes the option to rename the project post type and slug. You can find the option at:

Divi > Divi Booster > Projects > Rename the Project Custom Post Type

Like so:

This option is available in Divi Booster v4.1.6 upwards.

Renaming the Project Post Type using Divi Toolkit

Divi Toolkit also includes the option to change the Project CPT name / slug.

Renaming the Project Post Type using Divi Pixel

Another plugin offering the option to change the Project CPT name / slug is Divi Pixel.

Renaming the Project Post Type using PHP

The following PHP code can be used to change the name / slug of the Project Custom Post Type:

function dbc_projects_custom_slug($args) {
    $slug = 'photos';
    $slug = sanitize_title($slug, 'project');
    if (is_array($args) && !empty($slug)) {
        $args['slug'] = $slug;
    }
    return $args;
}
add_filter('et_project_posttype_rewrite_args', 'dbc_projects_custom_slug');

function dbc_projects_custom_name($args) {
    $name_singular = 'Photo';
    $name_plural = 'Photos';
    if (isset($args['labels']) && is_array($args['labels'])) {
        if (!empty($name_plural) && $name_plural !== 'Projects') {
            $args['labels']['name'] = esc_html__($name_plural, 'et_builder');
            $args['labels']['search_items'] = esc_html__("Search {$name_plural}", 'et_builder');
            $args['labels']['all_items'] = esc_html__("All {$name_plural}", 'et_builder');
        }
        if (!empty($name_singular) && $name_singular !== 'Project') {
            $args['labels']['singular_name'] = esc_html__($name_singular, 'et_builder');
            $args['labels']['add_new_item'] = esc_html__("Add New {$name_singular}", 'et_builder');
            $args['labels']['edit_item'] = esc_html__("Edit {$name_singular}", 'et_builder');
            $args['labels']['new_item'] = esc_html__("New {$name_singular}", 'et_builder');
            $args['labels']['view_item'] = esc_html__("View {$name_singular}", 'et_builder');
        }
    }
    return $args;
}
add_filter('et_project_posttype_args', 'dbc_projects_custom_name');

In the example above the slug is changed to "photos" and the name to "Photo" (singular) and "Photos" (plural). Simply replace the references to these to your own desired slug / name.
