How do I safely change the name of a custom post type?

If you have no posts in your portfolio yet.

It would be really simple. Rename everything with “Portfolio” into “Projects”.
You will lose nothing and change the name.

Edit :

Try use this plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ptypeconverter/ to export the current posts safely and import it into your new custom post type.

So the steps are :

1 Download and use the plugin : http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ptypeconverter/

2 Copy your custom post type “portfolio” file somewhere save. call it for example portfolio_post_typeBACKUP.php

3 Now you are sure when this method fails. you can recover it.

4 Change “portfolio” into “projects“

5 Import the posts with the plugin and viola!

Hope this works.
