When you register your custom post type there’s an argument called ‘labels’ you can pass to register_post_type(). The argument is an associative array with named labels for the menu and screens of your post type. Specifically, the label you are looking for is called ‘all_items’.
I don’t know your code for registering the post type, but here’s a short example that does what you asked for:
function video_gen_init() {
register_post_type( 'video_gen', array(
'public' => true,
'labels' => array(
'name' => 'WP Video Gen',
'all_items' => 'Videos',
),
) );
}
add_action( 'init', 'video_gen_init' );
Other available labels are (according to the WordPress Codex by the time of writing):
- ‘name’ – general name for the post type, usually plural. The same as, and overridden by $post_type_object->label
- ‘singular_name’ – name for one object of this post type. Defaults to value of name
- ‘add_new’ – the add new text. The default is Add New for both
hierarchical and non-hierarchical types. When internationalizing this
string, please use a gettext context matching your post type.
Example: _x(‘Add New’, ‘product’); - ‘all_items’ – the all items text used in the menu. Default is the
Name label - ‘add_new_item’ – the add new item text. Default is Add New Post/Add
New Page - ‘edit_item’ – the edit item text. Default is Edit Post/Edit Page
- ‘new_item’ – the new item text. Default is New Post/New Page
- ‘view_item’ – the view item text. Default is View Post/View Page
- ‘search_items’ – the search items text. Default is Search
Posts/Search Pages - ‘not_found’ – the not found text. Default is No posts found/No pages
found - ‘not_found_in_trash’ – the not found in trash text. Default is No
posts found in Trash/No pages found in Trash - ‘parent_item_colon’ – the parent text. This string isn’t used on
non-hierarchical types. In hierarchical ones the default is Parent
Page - ‘menu_name’ – the menu name text. This string is the name to give
menu items. Defaults to value of name
