About this plugin
Slash Edit saves you time by adding a simple admin shortcut to WordPress that lets you edit posts and pages quickly by adding /edit to almost any URL.
Instead of navigating through wp-admin or relying on the admin bar, just append /edit and go straight to the edit screen.
>
com/about/edit
This makes it easy to:
- Edit posts quickly
- Edit pages quickly
- Use a reliable quick edit shortcut
- Access a clean admin shortcut to edit content
- Securely share admin edit links with clients
A True WordPress Shortcut for Editing – /edit
Slash Edit is built for speed. Whether you’re a developer, editor, or site owner, it gives you a consistent shortcut to edit posts and pages without relying on the admin bar.
- No more searching through the dashboard
- No more long admin URLs
- Just a fast and predictable edit shortcut that is there when you need it
Replace Complex Admin URLs
Stop sharing links like:
>
post=123&action=edit
Instead, send a clean edit page shortcut:
>
com/about/edit
Perfect for clients and teams who need a simple way to quick edit content or for email senders who mangle URLs.
What You Can Edit
Slash Edit works across your entire site:
- Posts and pages
- Custom post types
- Users
- Categories and tags
- Taxonomies
- Author archives
- Front page (if assigned)
- Blog page (if assigned)
If you are not logged in, you will be prompted to log in and then redirected to the correct edit screen.
Why Use This Edit Shortcut?
- You want to edit posts and pages quickly
- You need a reliable admin shortcut without the admin bar
- You want to send clients a simple edit page link
- You prefer a fast quick edit workflow
Slash Edit is Perfect for WordPress Plugin and Theme Demos
When a WordPress Playground or demo site is generated, you don’t always know the final ID or URL of an item. With Slash Edit installed, give them a relative link such as:
/about/edit
If you have theme demos you can take your users right to the customizer or Full Site Editor with a shortcut: /theme/edit
