[support] Content types cannot be renamed

[Neil Coghlan]

Others may be able to help you with the more technical side of things, but you could just use customised language/string replacement module in order to make, for example, "blog" always appear as "journal".

  Subject: [support] Content types cannot be renamed


  I am coming across a very frustrating problem. I want to rename my content types "Human readable name" but they keep on reverting back to the old name the instant I press save content type.
  I even went inside the database to change the content type name but it still reverted to the old name.
  The only method that works is if i also change the system name "the machine-readable name of the content type" before the name can be changed. But some are not editable since it says "This field cannot be modified for system-defined content types." so i cannot change the name in the human readable section nor the machine readable name.

  I am using drupal 5.x

  could this be a bug? or am i doing something wrong?
