 Enhancing PHP Compatibility and Coding Standards for register_post_type
 Change Log:
 Version Updated: 4.1 to 4.1.5
 Focus: PHP compatibility and coding standards improvement

 Objective:
 Transform the way custom post types are registered in WordPress by
 introducing a wrapper function. This method facilitates the adjustment of
 custom post type arguments without directly modifying core
 functionalities.
 Steps to Implement Custom Modifications:

 1. Create a Wrapper Function:
 Instead of directly invoking register_post_type, establish a wrapper
 function that applies custom filters to the arguments before registration.
 {{{#!php

 <?php
 function custom_register_post_type($post_type, $args = array()) {
     // Apply modifications to $args before registering
     $modified_args = apply_filters('custom_register_post_type_args',
 $args, $post_type);

     // Register the post type with modified arguments
     register_post_type($post_type, $modified_args);
 }

 }}}
 2. Apply Custom Modifications:
 Utilize the custom_register_post_type_args filter to adjust the post type
 arguments according to specific needs.

 {{{
 <?php
 function modify_custom_post_type_args($args, $post_type) {
     if ($post_type === 'your_custom_post_type') {
         // Modify $args based on your requirements
         $args['rewrite'] = array('slug' => 'new-slug');
         // Additional modifications can be added here
     }
     return $args;
 }
 add_filter('custom_register_post_type_args',
 'modify_custom_post_type_args', 10, 2);

 }}}

 3. Register Your Custom Post Type Using the Wrapper Function:
 Instead of directly calling register_post_type, register your custom post
 type using the custom_register_post_type function.

 {{{#!php

 <?php
 // Example usage
 $args = array(
     'label' => 'Custom Post Type',
     'public' => true,
     // Other arguments...
 );

 custom_register_post_type('your_custom_post_type', $args);


 }}}

 Benefits:

 Flexibility: Modify post type settings easily without altering core
 functions directly.
 Maintainability: Keep modifications organized and separate from core code,
 enhancing readability and ease of updates.

 }}}
 Compatibility: Adhere to PHP and WordPress coding standards, ensuring
 compatibility with future updates and plugins.
 Implementing this approach ensures efficient customization while
 maintaining a clean and manageable codebase, promoting long-term
 sustainability and compatibility with evolving WordPress standards.
