 * I don’t know if this is even possible and I can’t find any threads that are really
   what I’m talking about.
 * I have bought and installed a template that I really like the look of, but the
   problem is it is a real estate template and I want it for selling businesses,
   not houses. So I made it work on the front end, but if there is any other web
   developer after I leave, they are going to be confused in the back end. For example:
   In the section where it asks for number of bathrooms, I have the telephone number.
   Or there is the Properties Custom Post type, but it is for Businesses.
 * What I want to know is: can I edit the custom post types in the back-end? Change
   their titles and custom fields? Is this specific to theme?
 * I would appreciate any help on this. I can give more specifics if someone needs
   them.
