custom post type showing add new post instead of custom post type label

[yalamber]

I am using wordpress 3.0 and it's multi network system with custom post type setting. I have used following code in themes functions.php

function post_type_movies() {
	register_post_type('movies', array(
	 'label' => __('Movies'),
	 'public' => true,
	 'show_ui' => true,
	 'rewrite' => array("slug" => "movie"),
	 'supports' => array('title', 'editor', 'custom-fields', 'author', 'thumbnail','comments')
	));
	register_taxonomy_for_object_type('post_tag', 'movies');
}
add_action('init', 'post_type_movies');

I get the custom post type block but when i add new post in custom post type I see it says Add new post instead of Add new movies.

Look at using the labels parameter and the post_updated_messages filter as described in ​http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type

Closing this as worksforme.

I encountered this same issue, and was able to resolve it by explicitly setting it explicitly as follows:

'labels' => array(

'name' => 'Movies',
'singular_name' => 'Movie',
'add_new_item' => 'Add New Movie',

),

But the 'add_new_item' setting should be automatically determined from 'singular_name' (which it is not).

Replying to kingjeffrey:

But the 'add_new_item' setting should be automatically determined from 'singular_name' (which it is not).

That would not be translatable. #12968
