 * My apologies in advance if this has been discussed before. O DID search and couldn’t
   find instructions.
 * I have multiple users for my site ([http://thecommunitymarketplace.com](http://thecommunitymarketplace.com)).
   What I would like to do is change the “publish” button in the post.php screen
   to “Post Ad” and also change the “Save” button to something like “Save Draft”
   or something similar.
 * If this can be done through a plug in, all the better.

 * Be careful when editing, but the files you’re looking for are /wp-admin/edit-
   form.php and /wp-admin/edit-form-advanced.php.
 * Just look for the text of the buttons. If you have other questions, well… you
   know where to ask 🙂
