I started developing a site with over a dozen custom post types. I’d like to rename a few of them, not just the display value, but the actual custom post type name. I’m worried however that by just running a SQL update query that I’ll miss some places where I need to change things or overwrite part of serialized data. I have already inputed over 3,000 items, so I can’t just restart with a clean database.

Here’s a post that looks like a good starting … Read more
I know this question has been asked in different forms. But as far as I can tell from searching Google and SE/WP it’s never been satisfactorily answered.
I have deep hierarchical taxonomy and I want to have all parent term assigned when I select a child term. I need it for category structure on a online listing/classified site.
I have a custom post type called shows and taxonomy called podcast. Using taxonomy-podcast.php, I having hard time finding a function that will generate next/previous Term URL Archive.
