New dashboard : enhancement suggestions

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi there!
    I am looking for posts/topics/threads regarding button “Save and continue editing”.
    How is that possible that they removed a basic feature for all the ppl in the world working with a PC??
    The basic rule is save while working, as often as you can.. and now saving you navigate out?
    It is amazing I cannot find any answer from Matt and other creators about THIS topic!!
    Good you propose the improvement.
    I hope to find other references!
    Regards..

    I think that’s because you’re the only one experiencing this. I’ve seen the opposite. I responded in the other thread.

    Widgets :
    – Text widgets : Give the possibility to widden the window for editing text widgets ; it is too small.
    – do not let the “delete” button right next to the “save” button : it is dangerous, you could accidentally hit this “delete” button ; you might set the “delete” button on the lower right corner, for example.
    – deleting a widget : add a confirmation question (with “Ok” and “Cancel” as usual).

    This may be off topic to the Dashboard, but it is a suggestion for improvement to the way ( I think ) it use to be.
    When uplpading an image remotely, I used to be able to include the <img src> address, without the dimensions, this no longer seems to work, I cannot know the dimensions, working on a smartphone, I think it is the dimensions, certainly it seems no longer possible to just include the image address, which means remote hosting the images like on photobucket etc. Then it works.

    >>On editing posts :
    >>Restore the button “Save and continue editing”.

    I agree with it. Also, with the old dashboard, when I clicked the “edit” button from an entry of the blog page to go to admin area to edit it, finished editing, and saved it, the page was returned to the initial blog page. Now with the new dashboard, it remains in the same window. As I modify my posts continuously on the blog, it was far friendlier for me to be redirected to the initial blog post when finishing editing (if I didn’t want to go back to the blog post, I just had to clilck “Save and continue editing”). Now I have to click “Visit site” or “View this post” to go back, and what happens is that “Visit site” doesn’t bring me to the original post, and “View this post” gives me another page which is not always necessary. I DON’T LIKE IT.

    For the “Most used” categories, I think it’s fine for some, but as I don’t use this option and always have to click “All categories”, all the time, I hope WordPress people let me choose which option should be default.

    Also, with the old dashboard, when I wanted to do the same thing to another blog (say, manage categories), I just had to click the name of the other blog. Now with the new dashboard, it brings me to the top page (“wp-admin/”) and I have to click twice to get to the option I want.

    This is my idea. In short, I think the “Latest Posts” lists (in your main dashboard page) should be language-specific, just like “Top WordPress.com blogs today”, “Top Posts from around WordPress.com”, and “Fastest Growing WordPress.com blogs”.

    On deleting a comment :
    Add a confirmation question.

    I would like to voice my thought on this remark. I have had many numerous calls where I almost clicked on delete on one of the comments! It would then appear as I don’t like some of the comments people give me if I was to accidentally delete them….. and well, we know we can never get them back once we press delete..

    Please make the editing comments feature available as you had on the old dashboard.

    Thank you.

    Global Dashboard > My Comments

    I think it would be useful if there was a link to see a list of post feeds you’ve commented on, so you could track down a site or comment that hasn’t be recently added to.

    I’d like to see Stats moved to the bottom of the main dashboard page, to encourage people to look at the other blogs in the community. Nobody is more stat-focused than me, but I’d scroll down without complaint. The way it’s set up now, most of the time I don’t even glance at the other blogs.
