Description
WP Admin Label Renamer is a lightweight admin-only plugin that allows administrators to rename common WordPress admin labels to better match their workflow or client terminology.
The plugin is intentionally simple and focused. It only changes the visible labels shown in the WordPress admin dashboard and does not modify post types, capabilities, URLs, permissions, or database structures.
This makes it suitable for client sites, internal dashboards, and teams that want clearer naming without altering WordPress core behavior.
