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);

The WordPress Navigation Tool (NAVT) plugin is a powerful tool designed to provide you with complete control over the creation, styling and contents of your web site’s navigation. The plugin gives you the ability to create unique site navigation from your pages, categories and users using a Drag ‘n Drop Interface; arrange the items within a group in any arbitrary order. Navigation groups may be composed of any combination of pages, categories, Authors, (Editors, Contributors, Subscribers), internal/external links and list dividers.
<h4>Plugin Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Navigation items can be duplicated and may appear in more than one group. Each item (even if duplicated) can be independently configured.</li>
<li>List item names (called a menu alias) can be set to a name that differs from the name used as the page title or the category name.</li>
<li>Create navigation items to be displayed in one of the following format:
<ol>
<li>Text only</li>
<li>Text over graphics</li>
<li>Text with side graphic</li>
<li>Graphic only</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Group items can be constructed to appear as a hierarchy – parent/child relationships can be formed between all types of items.</li>
<li>Navigation menus may be styled using NAVT provided CSS classes, standard Word Press classes, or NAVT will apply user specified CSS classes.</li>
