Is there an easy way to change the “Custom Fields” label in the back end? I have a client who has one specific use for the custom fields. He has a bunch of writers and it would be great if I could just name it “Product Features” instead of custom fields.

It’s not a deal breaker, just wondering if it’s possible to do from the theme level.

I found this wp-admin-menu-classes on Github, it works really well! You can pretty much rename, remove and copy any item or section within wp-admin. Very powerful and very handy!

That class plus this little bit of code I was able to change the navigation to suit my needs.

// Change wp-admin menu
add_action('admin_menu','admin_menu_changes');
function admin_menu_changes() {
  rename_admin_menu_section('Custom Fields', 'Product Features');
}
