Description

We attempted to add a post type the other day which was more than 20 characters, this resulted in the post type not being registered as per documentation: ​https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type

Limit is var char 20.

There are scenarios where you want to use a unique prefix and this combined with a descriptive name of the post type exceeds 20 characters.
