 * Is there a way to keep the “Post Update” button instead of replacing with “Add
   Link” or whatever? Or, just change the name of the other updates to “Post Update”?

 * Hey there michaelpfaff,
 * Hope you’re well today 🙂
 * The easiest way to do this would be to simply replace the text on those buttons
   with “Post Update” which can be done by using plugin translation files.
 * You’ll find more info on how to use translation files by following this link:
   [http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/how-to-translate-a-wordpress-plugin/](http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/how-to-translate-a-wordpress-plugin/)
 * If you have additional question regarding translation please let me know and 
   I’ll be happy to help 🙂
 * Cheers,
    Bojan

 * Bojan, thanks for that tip, but it’s a little more advanced than I was hoping.
   Is there a way to override the text through my functions.php file? If not, which
   file contains the Post Update / Add Link / Etc. data in the plugin? I can just
   manually change it (though, I guess I’ll have to do that each time the plugin
   is updated).

 * Hey again michaelpfaff,
 * In my opinion using translation files is much easier then editing plugin templates
   or adding code to functions.php.
 * I’ve been trying to look for an easier way to do this and I’ve found the following
   plugin [https://wordpress.org/plugins/real-time-find-and-replace/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/real-time-find-and-replace/).
   Which allows you to replace text on your site.
 * Once you install and activate the plugin you can find it in Tools -> Real-Time
   Find and Replace where you can add words you’d like to change, see screenshot
   [http://screencast.com/t/BwahprQh](http://screencast.com/t/BwahprQh).
 * I’ve tested it with button text and it works, please make sure to use the capital
   A in Add or otherwise it will not work, tested on my site and everything worked
   fine [http://screencast.com/t/qlTSqW8y](http://screencast.com/t/qlTSqW8y).
 * Have a great weekend 🙂
 * Cheers,
    Bojan
