Admin Starred Posts lets you mark posts, pages and custom posts within the WordPress admin with stars. 
This helps you highlight a post, or mark it so you remember is important.
For example, you might have tons of pages, but are always editing one or two. In that case, star those pages, 
and they’ll be easily recognizable in your list of posts.
If you’ve used Gmail before, you’re very familiar with this feature. Similar to that email client, this plugin 
let’s you click on a star in your list of posts, pages and custom posts to ‘star’ it.
The plugin works out of the box, but you also get some configuration options to help you customize it to your workflow.
Configuration Options
<ul>
<li>Rotate between 12 different “stars”</li>
<li>Drag and set the orders of your stars</li>
<li>Enable/disable this feature for any post type in your WordPress install</li>
<li>Decide whether you want stars to be visible to every one, or in a per user basis.</li>
</ul>
Other Features
<ul>
<li>You can display only starred posts by using the “Stars” filter available at the top of the posts list.</li>
</ul>
This plugin requires WordPress 3.8 or higher

Admin Starred Posts

Nicely does the job of marking like email inbox. Some feature enhancements like adding from post edit page with a note will be great. 

Excellent plugin


This plugin is so useful for managing site wide updates and status of pages especially when working with a group- which are done, which need attention, which haven't been started. I install it on every site I've ever worked on, so I'm probably responsible for at least a hundred of the active installations. Please keep it updated and tested!!


I absolutely love this plugin!

Mark posts, pages and custom posts in your WordPress admin; pretty similar to the stars feature in Gmail.

Your WordPress admin menu gets messy fast. Plugins add their own items. Settings end up scattered. Finding what you need takes longer than it should.
<a href="https://dlxplugins.com/plugins/sortacular/" rel="nofollow ugc">Sortacular</a> fixes this instantly.
It keeps the default WordPress menus exactly where you expect them, and neatly sorts everything added by plugins and themes alphabetically. This makes your admin menu easier to scan and much faster to use.
No setup. No settings.
Activate the plugin, and your menu is instantly organized.
A simple divider separates the default WordPress items from everything else, so you can clearly see what belongs to WordPress and what has been added by plugins or themes.
<h3>What gets organized</h3>
Sortacular keeps the main WordPress menus in their original order. Nothing moves or breaks.
Everything added by plugins and themes is grouped and sorted alphabetically.
This applies to:
<ul>
<li>Settings</li>
<li>Appearance</li>
<li>Tools</li>
<li>Dashboard</li>
</ul>
In multisite, it also works with:
<ul>
<li>Settings</li>
<li>Dashboard</li>
<li>Themes</li>
</ul>
<h3>What changes after you install it</h3>
Instead of scrolling through a long, cluttered menu, you get a clean and predictable layout.
You will see:
<ul>
<li>Core WordPress items at the top, unchanged</li>
<li>A clear divider</li>
<li>All plugin and theme items sorted from A to Z</li>
</ul>
This means you no longer have to guess where a plugin placed its settings and in what order. You can find things quickly, every time.
<h3>Who this is for</h3>
This plugin is especially useful if:
<ul>
<li>You install a lot of plugins, and your admin menu feels crowded</li>
<li>You manage client websites and need to move quickly</li>
<li>You waste time clicking around trying to find settings</li>
<li>You want a cleaner, more organized WordPress dashboard</li>
<li>You like a sorting plugin, but want your Core items left alone</li>
</ul>
It is also helpful for beginners who feel overwhelmed by how messy the admin menu can become over time.
<h3>Why this matters</h3>
A messy admin menu slows you down.
When plugins add items in random places, it becomes harder to navigate your site. You spend more time searching and less time actually working.
By organizing everything into a clear structure, Sortacular makes your workflow faster and less frustrating.
It is a small change that makes a big difference, especially on sites with many plugins.
<h3>No configuration needed</h3>
There are no settings to manage.
You do not need to learn anything new or configure options.
Just activate the plugin, and your menus are automatically reorganized.
<h3>For developers</h3>
If you need more control, you can customize which items are treated as core using filters. Please check out <a href="https://github.com/DLXPlugins/sortacular" rel="nofollow ugc">the Sortacular GitHub repo</a> for filters, examples, and ways you can help extend and contribute to the plugin.
There is also optional support for sorting top-level menus, but it’s off by default.
This plugin has no admin options or settings, and it works automatically when activated.
