If people you want to show publicly on a site are users, i.e. have an account and write posts, in my opinion it’s much better to use the WordPress user functionality: all the information you would put in a CPT can also be put in user metadata, and creating users is mandatory (they have to … Read more
This is my first time participating here on Stack Exchange, but I’ll give this a go and see if I can help point you in the right direction.

Thanks Jan!

I wouldn’t try to localize your slugs. Instead, why not give your users the option to change them by adding another field to the permalink settings page? Hook into load-options-permalink.php and set up some things to catch the $_POST data to save your slug. Also add a settings field to the page. <?php add_action( ‘load-options-permalink.php’, … Read more
You can remove the default meta boxes with remove_meta_box and re-add them in a different position with add_meta_box: add_action(‘do_meta_boxes’, ‘wpse33063_move_meta_box’); function wpse33063_move_meta_box(){ remove_meta_box( ‘postimagediv’, ‘post’, ‘side’ ); add_meta_box(‘postimagediv’, __(‘Featured Image’), ‘post_thumbnail_meta_box’, ‘post’, ‘normal’, ‘high’); } This will remove it from the side column and add it to the main column. change post in this example … Read more
