[wp-hackers] "enter_title_here" filter and Appearance > Menus

[William Satterwhite]

I've always used the following:

function cpt_gettext( $text ) {
        global $post_type;

        if ( is_admin() && 'Enter title here' == $text && 'your_cpt' ==
$post_type ) {
            $text = 'Enter CPT name here';
        }

        return $text;
}
add_action( 'gettext', 'cpt_gettext' );
