Fast Page Switch

Description

This plugin adds a metabox to the edit screen for any post type. The metabox lets you quickly switch between all available posts using the Select2 jQuery plugin. No need to visit “All Posts“ first. You can use the settings page to determine for which post types (e.g. Pages, Posts, etc.) the metabox should be available.

Please do not use the rating system for your support requests. Simply leave a message in the plugin support forum and I will get back to you right away.

If this plugin saves you time, please consider supporting it with a good rating. Thanks.

As this plugin was not updated for 3 years, I hesitated to give it a try. However it still works in may 2019 on WP 5.2.1 Hope the author would consider keeping it up to date in the future. Thanks, Annie

A very useful Plugin. Switching between pages/posts can also be achieved w/o this plugin by opening another tab. But I agree with the author (Marc Wiest) that it might be easier on your cognition (it is on mine) to be able to switch between pages without having to scan through a bunch of tabs on top of the browser. (Marc wrote why he created this plugin on WP Tavern in an article by Jeff Chandler: https://wptavern.com/fast-page-switch-adds-a-quick-way-to-switch-between-pages-in-the-wordpress-backend).
