Need to change Custom Page name in WordPress from "services" to "products"

Question

Have a wordpress Website in development a theme which has following url for a services

url for custom page type :

localhost/website/service/mechanical-engineering/
localhost/website/service/automotive-parts-systems/

need to change it to :

localhost/website/product/mechanical-engineering/
localhost/website/product/automotive-parts-systems/

I am not able to change it in permalinks, also i am a designer and know little about php

Have tried changing page name and tags in permalinks also not able to find any plugin which can do this

This would need to be a post-launch thing but if you're using an Apache server maybe research how to add a rewrite rule to .HTACCESS. — Shoelaced, Nov 09 '22 at 11:24
@Shoelaced there are more than 35+ products can this be done from .htaccess — Sachin Dasar, Nov 09 '22 at 11:44

You can change your post type slug using register_post_type_args filter.

try out these code in your theme functions.php.

function change_post_types_slug( $args, $post_type ) {
   /*item post type slug*/   
   if ( 'service' === $post_type ) {
      $args['rewrite']['slug'] = 'product';
   }
   return $args;
}
add_filter( 'register_post_type_args', 'change_post_types_slug', 10, 2 );

Then save permalink Settings => permalink => save.

its not working, as there is no child theme adding this through code snippets plugin – Sachin Dasar Nov 12 '22 at 06:19
Its not post i think its custom page type – Sachin Dasar Nov 12 '22 at 06:40
what do you mean by custom page please explain. is it any page template Or generated using a plugin? how you are adding a new service page? – theboss_dev Nov 12 '22 at 10:16
Its a theme, its a page template. A create new service tab is there, similar to create new page. Its a custom theme. using Elementor. – Sachin Dasar Nov 13 '22 at 20:14
check the add new service page url in admin is it look like `http://example.com/wp-admin/post-new.php?post_type=service` ? – theboss_dev Nov 14 '22 at 03:13
@ziilionera_dev Yes it works it adds a new service - it is post type – Sachin Dasar Nov 14 '22 at 06:12
@SachinDasar try adding the code in main theme's functions.php or create a child theme then add this in functions.php. code is tested and working. if your issue resolved then mark the answer as accepted. – theboss_dev Nov 14 '22 at 06:30
