        'menu_name' => _x( 'Case Studies', 'case_study' ),
    );

    $args = array(
        'labels' => $labels,
        'hierarchical' => false,
        'description' => 'Case studies',
        'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'excerpt', 'thumbnail','genesis-seo' ),
        'taxonomies' => array( 'industries' ),
        'public' => true,
        'show_ui' => true,
        'show_in_menu' => true,

        'show_in_nav_menus' => true,
        'publicly_queryable' => true,
        'exclude_from_search' => false,
        'has_archive' => true,
        'query_var' => true,
        'can_export' => true,
        'rewrite' => true,
        'capability_type' => 'post'
    );
