Admin Posts Navigation solves a common WordPress admin workflow problem: having to go back to the post list every time you want to edit the next or previous post.
Key Features:
<ul>
<li>Seamless Navigation: Navigate directly between posts without returning to the post list</li>
<li>Customizable Sorting: Choose between Date Published, Alphabetical, or Post ID sorting</li>
<li>User Preferences: Each user’s sort preferences are saved per post type</li>
<li>Universal Support: Works with posts, pages, and all custom post types automatically</li>
<li>Dual Editor Support: Full compatibility with both Classic Editor and Gutenberg Block Editor</li>
<li>Smart Ordering: Uses appropriate default ordering (date for posts, alphabetical for pages)</li>
<li>Position Tracking: Shows your current position (e.g., “Position: 3 of 15 posts”)</li>
<li>Security First: Rate limiting, nonce verification, and capability checks</li>
<li>Performance Optimized: Intelligent caching and optimized database queries</li>
<li>Developer Friendly: Multiple filter hooks for customization</li>
</ul>
How It Works:
In the Classic Editor, navigation buttons appear below the post title with a sorting dropdown that lets you choose between Date Published, Alphabetical, or Post ID ordering.
In Gutenberg, a “Post Navigation” panel appears in the Document Settings sidebar with Previous/Next buttons and a sorting dropdown for customizing the navigation order.
Sorting Options:
<ul>
<li>Date Published: Navigate by publication date (newest first for posts, oldest first for pages)</li>
<li>Alphabetical: Navigate by post title in alphabetical order (A-Z)</li>
<li>Post ID: Navigate by WordPress post ID in ascending order</li>
</ul>
Each user’s sorting preference is remembered per post type, so you can have different sorting for posts vs. pages vs. custom post types.
Perfect For:
<ul>
<li>Content managers editing multiple posts in sequence</li>
<li>Bloggers reviewing and updating existing content</li>
<li>Developers working with custom post types</li>
<li>Anyone who finds the default WordPress admin workflow tedious</li>
</ul>
The plugin automatically detects all your custom post types and provides navigation for any content type you can edit.
<h3>Developer Hooks</h3>
Filters:
<ul>
<li><code>twf_admin_posts_navigation_excluded_types</code> – Exclude specific post types from navigation</li>
<li><code>twf_admin_posts_navigation_orderby</code> – Customize ordering for specific post types </li>
<li><code>twf_admin_posts_navigation_order</code> – Customize sort direction for specific post types</li>
<li><code>twf_admin_posts_navigation_query_args</code> – Modify the query arguments for finding posts</li>
</ul>
Example Usage:
<pre><code>`php
</code></pre>
// Exclude a custom post type 
add_filter(‘twf_admin_posts_navigation_excluded_types’, function($excluded) { 
 $excluded[] = ‘my_private_post_type’; 
 return $excluded; 
});
// Custom ordering for events 
add_filter(‘twf_admin_posts_navigation_orderby’, function($orderby, $post_type) { 
 if ($post_type === ‘event’) { 
 return ‘meta_value’; 
 } 
 return $orderby; 
}, 10, 2);
// Navigate only through featured posts 
add_filter(‘twf_admin_posts_navigation_query_args’, function($args, $current_post) { 
 if ($current_post->post_type === ‘post’) { 
 $args[‘meta_query’] = array( 
 array( 
 ‘key’ => ‘featured_post’, 
 ‘value’ => ‘1’, 
 ‘compare’ => ‘=’ 
 ) 
 ); 
 } 
 return $args; 
}, 10, 2);

Standard display of pages in WordPress can be a problem if you have a lot of pages with sub-pages causing the widget with list of pages to take a lot of space in the sidebar. With this widget you can use on of the 4 currently supported methods of navigation:

<ul>
<li>Full Hierarchy: Displays complete hierarchy of all pages in the blog.</li>

<li>Navigator: Dynamic list of pages, based on the currently active page.</li>
<li>Selected: Select pages to display, all other will be ignored.</li>
</ul>
