    Our friend Google doesn't want to help me with this one:
    I want to use Genesis in a multisite, with different child themes.
    But I would like to rebrand Genesis from inside each child theme. So, on the dashboard menu I would like to have the name of the child theme instead of "Genesis", and also to remove the "Information" tab.

    Can you help me a bit with this?

    Thank you

    So... the link provided by James was helpful, but, unfortunately I still didn't manage to amend the Genesis name in the menu, and also I didn't manage to remove the "Information" tab

    The code for changing menu items is this one, as per article in the link:

    unction customize_post_admin_menu_labels() {
    global $menu;
    global $submenu;
    $menu[5][0] = 'Articles';
    $submenu['edit.php'][5][0] = 'Articles';
    $submenu['edit.php'][10][0] = 'Add Articles';
    echo '';
    }
    add_action( 'admin_menu', 'customize_post_admin_menu_labels' );
    
    

    And works like a charm. I've tried to find what's the number for Genesis, to change [5][0] to [no. for Genesis][0]
    I've tried:
    20 changes pages
    25 changes comments
    30 changes nothing
    35 changes nothing
    40 changes nothing
    45 changes nothing
    50 changes nothing
    55 changes nothing
    60 changes appearance
    65 changes nothing
    70 changes users
    75 tools
    80 settings

    I've tried $menu[58.996][0] = 'Something'; after finding some more articles on the Internet - Still not working (Silly stuff, I know, but I've tried everything from 58.950 to 59...)

    Nothing seems to be working. Same thing, I'm still stuck on "Information" panel...

    Any help is much appreciated.

    Best,
    Marius
