This Plugin extends the Admin Bar by adding a button that allows to publish an entry from the front end. 
If the entry is already published, the button functionality changes to allow to switch it to a draft.
Publishing the post not only changes the post status from ‘draft’ to ‘publish’. It will run all the actions associated with publishing as if you were doing it in the WP Admin side.

Does what it says on the tin!
So what is the plugin? The name says it all really, this just adds a Save and Close button to all pages, posts and custom post types. We’ve done away with the click so no longer do you need to hit “Update” or “Publish” then click back your post/page listing. Save and Close will just take you right back to your list of posts! Simples!
At Lightbulb we love to give a little back and this is our way of saying thanks to WordPress. Also to all of our comrades populating websites or doing lots of edits this one is for you! Saving those precious seconds and making your lives happy and RSI free.

Save and Close

Used to have Save & Close button in Joomla and was very frustrated, when none was found in Wordpress. This little plugin helped me restore my belief in humankind. Thank you!
P.S.: Works perfectly on WP 4.5.2 despite that it hasn't been updated for quite a while.



Great plugin, thank you

Adds a Save and Close button to the admin post edit screen which allows you to return to the post listing page after editing.
