Slash Edit: Admin Shortcuts to Edit Posts and Pages Faster

Slash Edit adds a simple admin shortcut to WordPress that lets you edit posts and pages quickly by adding /edit to any URL.

Instead of navigating through wp-admin or relying on the admin bar, just append /edit and go straight to the edit screen.

Replace Complex Admin URLs

Stop sharing links like:
