Rename “Portfolio” slug?

I have a WordPress theme that I am working with called “Forte”. Yes, it is a premium theme. I have reached out to the developer but apparently he doesn’t really want to help in this situation. Well I need to change the “portfolio” slug to something else. “Portfolio” doesn’t really work at all with the website I am working on. In the past what I’ve done is find ‘rewrite’ => array(“slug” => “portfolio”), in functions.php and I would change it to ‘rewrite’ => array(“slug” => “NEW-SLUG-NAME”),. However, in this theme the developer seems to do it differently. Below is the code in a file called pix_post-types.php which seems to handle this. I am not a PHP developer but I can do a good deal of editing and understand it more-or-less. I would really appreciate some help!

<?php
add_action('init', 'register_testimonial');

function register_testimonial() {
  $args = array(
    'labels' => array(
  'name' => __( 'Testimonials' ), 
  'singular_name' => __( 'Testimonial' ),
  'add_new' => _x('Add new', 'testimonial'),
  'add_new_item' => __('Add a new testimonial'), 
  'edit_item' => __('Edit testimonial'),
  'new_item' => __('New testimonial'),
  'view_item' => __('View testimonial'),

  register_post_type( 'testimonial' , $args );

add_action('init', 'register_portfolio');

  1. Re-save your Permalinks after changing the name and slug from portfolio

    Looks like you need to add this line to your code

    'rewrite'      => array( 'slug' => 'portfolio', 'with_front' => false ),
    

    And change this to true

    'public'       => true,
    
  2. The slug is stored in this line:

    register_post_type( 'portfolio' , $args );
    

    Also I recommend change and names (they are shown in admin).
