 * Hello! I need help. I want to change register_post_type name:
 *  register_post_type(‘**name which i want to change**‘,$args);
 * This is same as page name, so i can’t use pagination, because i get 404 error.
 * But when i changing it, i lose all posts in this type.
 * So how to change it in good way?
 * Please help!

 * Try changing the rewrite rule `'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'other-name' ),`
   when registering your post type:
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type)
 * You probably need to re-save your permalink structure under wp-admin > Settings
   > Permalinks after changing the rewrite rule.
