# Change Admin Panel Label????

 * I am currently making a stripped down version of WordPress so that I can let 
   the non-technical people that I work with manage content on the various sites
   that we run. Some of the feed back I got was that non-savvy folks did not get
   what the difference was between a post and a page. I just want to change the ‘
   Write Post’ tab in the admin panel so that it says ‘Front Page’ or something 
   like that. Does anybody know which file this is in? I have been poking around
   for a while; however, I am still fairly new to WordPress (looking forward to 
   becoming a contributing member to the community) and am not yet familiar with
   the structure. If someone could point me in the right direction I would greatly
   appreciate it.

 * Still have not found a solution… for the same reasons I am also looking to remove
   the ‘Discussion’ and ‘Post Slug’ drop down menus on the ‘Write Post’ Page. If
   somebody could just tell me which files to take a look at I would greatly appreciate
   it.
 * Thanks much.

 * _I just want to change the ‘Write Post’ tab in the admin panel so that it says‘
   Front Page’_
 * In the wp-admin/ folder… find the **edit-form.php** file, open, then find this
   line of code: `<h2><?php _e('Write Post'); ?></h2>`
 * Change to: `<h2><?php _e('Front Page'); ?></h2>`
 * Save it as: **edit-form.php** then, reupload it to your wp-admin/ folder again..
 * As elz said above, in the **menu.php** file, in same wp-admin/ folder.. find 
   this line:
 * `$submenu['post.php'][5] = array(__('Write Post'), 'edit_posts', 'post.php');`
 * Change to this:
 * `$submenu['post.php'][5] = array(__('Front Page'), 'edit_posts', 'post.php');`
 * Save it as: **menu.php** then, reupload it to your wp-admin/ folder.. that should
   be it?? As for those other menu things, I’m not too sure about, but..maybe someone
   with more knowledge of it, can help ya then. 😉 =)

 * Thank you so much… there sure are a lot of files to go through. I am still having
   a tough time finding the ‘Discussion’ and ‘Post Slug’ stuff in the files… I managed
   to remove ‘Discussion’ by hacking up the edit-form-advanced.php file, but there
   must be a better palce because all the functions that show up in the sidebar 
   on the write page, and write post admin panels are not here in sequence… if anybody
   knows where I could do all this (remove/edit them) please let me know… all I 
   need is the file name. If I find it I will post back to this thread.
 * Thanks for all the help (*salutes*)

 * wp-admin/edit-page-form.php has the stuff you can hack outto remove the menu 
   tabs on the write page admin panel. Now all I needs is the file to remove the
   stuff on the write post… er I mean on the write to front page page 😉
