 * Hi,
 * Just wondering if there’s a straightforward way to change the custom post type
   label in the WP Admin backend (i.e., Store and Stores to something else) without
   hacking the plugin.
 * Thanks.

 * fyi: in case this helps anybody else… I was able to get this to work by using
   the technique at [http://wpsmith.net/2013/use-registered_post_type-hook-to-modify-post-type-registration/](http://wpsmith.net/2013/use-registered_post_type-hook-to-modify-post-type-registration/)

 * There is also a [filter](https://wpstorelocator.co/document/wpsl_post_type_labels/)
   available in the plugin allowing you to do the same thing.
