 [1]. Modify WordPress Admin Menu Items
 For the admin menu, you can hook into the **admin_menu** action to change
 the labels of the "Add New" menu items. Here's an example:

 function customize_admin_menu_labels() {
     global $menu, $submenu;

     // Update "Posts" submenu
     if (isset($submenu['edit.php'])) {
         foreach ($submenu['edit.php'] as &$item) {
             if ($item[0] == 'Add New') {
                 $item[0] = 'Add New Post';
             }
         }
     }

     // Update "Media" submenu
     if (isset($submenu['upload.php'])) {
         foreach ($submenu['upload.php'] as &$item) {
             if ($item[0] == 'Add New') {
                 $item[0] = 'Add New Media';
             }
         }
     }

     // Update "Pages" submenu
     if (isset($submenu['edit.php?post_type=page'])) {
         foreach ($submenu['edit.php?post_type=page'] as &$item) {
             if ($item[0] == 'Add New') {
                 $item[0] = 'Add New Page';
             }
         }
     }

     // Update "Plugins" submenu
     if (isset($submenu['plugins.php'])) {
         foreach ($submenu['plugins.php'] as &$item) {
             if ($item[0] == 'Add New') {
                 $item[0] = 'Add New Plugin';
             }
         }
     }

     // Update "Users" submenu
     if (isset($submenu['users.php'])) {
         foreach ($submenu['users.php'] as &$item) {
             if ($item[0] == 'Add New') {
                 $item[0] = 'Add New User';
             }
         }
     }
 }
 add_action('admin_menu', 'customize_admin_menu_labels');

 [2]. Modify Admin Page Links

 If there are "Add New" links within admin pages (e.g., on the Posts,
 Pages, Media, etc.), you can use a script to update these links
 dynamically. Here's a basic example using jQuery:

 function customize_admin_add_new_links() {
     ?>
     <script type="text/javascript">
         jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
             // Update the "Add New" links
             $('a.add-new-h2').each(function() {
                 var href = $(this).attr('href');
                 if (href.includes('post-new.php?post_type=post')) {
                     $(this).text('Add New Post');
                 } else if (href.includes('post-new.php?post_type=page')) {
                     $(this).text('Add New Page');
                 } else if (href.includes('post-
 new.php?post_type=attachment')) {
                     $(this).text('Add New Media');
                 } else if (href.includes('plugin-install.php')) {
                     $(this).text('Add New Plugin');
                 } else if (href.includes('user-new.php')) {
                     $(this).text('Add New User');
                 }
             });
         });
     </script>
     <?php
 }
 add_action('admin_footer', 'customize_admin_add_new_links');
