How can I rename the Classifieds plugin and all the links?

I am trying to use this plugin for a real estate website. I want to remove all references to the word 'Classifieds' and replace it with 'Listings' or 'Properties' .

The word Classifieds shows up in the links, menu items, widgets, dashboard etc...

    Hello again @Ocean Digital Corp,

    The Classifieds plugin is translation-ready, so you can use the WordPress translation system to change its wording. Here's what you'll have to do:

    • Step 1: go to your wp-config.php file. You'll see there a line like this:
      define('WPLANG', '');
      Change that line to this:
      define('WPLANG', 'en_US');
      (That's of course provided that you only want to change a few phrases and not completely translate WordPress to another language).
    • Step 2: Install the Codestyling Localization plugin.
    • Step 3: Go from your dashboard to Tools->Localization.
    • Step 4: Pick your plugin. Press on the "Scan Now" button and then add the en_US language.
    • Step 5: Edit the language. You can now search for any text string you want and change it to whatever you need.
    • Step 6: Once you're finished changing text strings, press the "generate .mo" button on the top.
    • Step 7: Install the CodeStyling Localization Preserver plugin. This will prevent your changes from being lost each time you update a plugin or theme.

    I hope that helps!

    Cheers,
    Ari.
