My argument for having that option in the plugin, in my case anyway, we were building a new website that needed to be kept under wraps. The <title> for the site we were designing had the title in it, and on the under construction page, we needed it to have a different title so that visitors wouldn’t know what we’re up to.
Any solution to this problem? I’m having it too and there doesn’t seem to be any other support around. Below is the code that I’m using:
register_post_type('portfolio', array(
'label' => __('Portfolio Items'),
'singular_label' => __('Portfolio Item'),
'public' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'menu_position' => 5,
'capability_type' => 'post',
'hierarchical' => false,
'rewrite' => false,
'query_var' => false,
'supports' => array('title', 'editor', 'thumbnail', 'revisions', 'custom-fields'),
'can_export' => true
));
