WordPress: Page Editor Upgrade

There are several editor options that you can integrate into WordPress to make designing your sites pages easy, My favourite has to be Page Builder by SiteOrigin. This plugin makes it easy to build responsive grid-based page content that adapts to mobile devices which means your page content is always displayed accurately.

It has a simple drag and drop interface and is backed up by a collection of widgets which means you shouldn’t have to modify any code.  Page Builder also uses WordPress’s built in widgets and with access to some impressive plugins. This has to be one of the easiest WordPress editors available.

WordPress: Clone Posts & Pages

Sometimes you can spend ages setting a page up and you realise you would like to create a new post, but keep all the work you have done in formatting a page in place. This plugin allows users to clone posts of any type, or copy them to new drafts for further editing.

It is extremely versatile:

In ‘Edit Posts’/’Edit Pages’, you can click on ‘Clone’ link below the post/page title: this will immediately create a copy and return to the list.

In ‘Edit Posts’/’Edit Pages’, you can select one or more items, then choose ‘Clone’ in the ‘Bulk Actions’ dropdown to copy them all at once.

In ‘Edit Posts’/’Edit Pages’, you can click on ‘New Draft’ link below the post/page title.

On the post edit screen, you can click on ‘Copy to a new draft’ above “Cancel”/”Move to trash” or in the admin bar.

While viewing a post as a logged in user, you can click on ‘Copy to a new draft’ in the admin bar.

Post Type Switcher

This plugin adds a simple post-type drop-down to the post editor interface, allowing you to reassign any post to a new post type. It allows you to switch post’s type while editing your post.

SUPPORTED TYPES

The plugin can convert nearly every combination of posts, pages, and even custom post types:

  • Page to Post
  • Post to Page
  • Post to Custom
  • Custom to Custom

BULK EDITING

BLOCK EDITOR

With block-editor (aka Gutenberg) support you can switch between post-types that use either the Block Editor and the Classic one, without losing any of your embedded content.

WordPress Admin Menu Editor

Customize the Admin Bar (WordPress Toolbar) Hide toolbar items, change their order with drag & drop, rename items, add new links, and more….

If you use a variety of plugins to manage your web site sometimes the location on the menu bar is not quite as convenient as it could be. You can make using WordPress easier to use by moving frequently used menu items to the top. You can also move menu items from one submenu to another, or to the main menu.

You can add your own links to the admin menu, make a custom menu’s  and it’s possible to create non-clickable items, which can be useful for things like section headers in complex admin menus. So, if you want a top-level link to “Add New Post” or to a specific plugin? You can do that. If you have an unruly plugin that puts its admin page in the wrong place? Move it to “Settings” instead.

This is probably one of the most useful plugin’s available and one of the best things about it is, you can simplify the menu system for your clients. If you can make things simple, then things work!

User Role Editor

User Role Editor WordPress plugin by Vladimir Garagulya allows you to change user roles and capabilities easy.
