 array(
   'labels' => array(
     'name' => __( 'News' ),
     'singular_name' => __( 'News' ),
 'add_new' => __( 'Add New Article' ),
 'add_new_item' => __( 'Add Article' ),
 'edit_item' => __( 'Edit Article' ),
 'new_item' => __( 'New Article' ),

Answer 1

Solved its not actually been released yet, the feature. I had to download the beta version however this version of wordpress is due soon.

Answer 2

Go into permalinks and save the settings to refresh the permalink structure. Wordpress has a problem with the custom post type permalinks you have to do this every time you make a change to you custom post type. This will prevent your from getting a 404 error.
