This is a tool for developers who want to turbo-charge their custom post type listings with metadata, taxonomies, and more. An intuitive interface for adding (and saving) complex filtersets is provided, along with a drag-and-drop interface for choosing and ordering columns to be displayed. Metaboxes are also automatically generated for all your metadata-entry needs.
<ul>
<li>Add columns to the post listing view</li>
<li>Filter post listings by custom criteria</li>
<li>Easily add metaboxes to custom post types</li>
<li>Automatically add registered taxonomies to post listings</li>
<li>Sort by post metadata</li>
</ul>
See docs/documentation.html in the plugin directory for full documentation.
The team at The Events Calendar stands by our work and offers light support every Wednesday to the community via the WordPress.org support forums. Feel free to ask a question if you’re having a problem with implementation or if you find bugs.

Advanced Post Manager

This plugin doesn't do anything. It says you have to install it and then get a developer to write some code to make it work. That means this isn't a plugin, it's just a useless piece of code. The plugin repository should only be for plugins that actually add some functionality to your WordPress website. This "plugin" is just taking up space and confusing people. Did the developers just get bored and decided not to finish their plugin? It should be removed from the plugin repository!

Should Be Removed

Turbo charge your posts admin for any custom post type with sortable filters and columns, and auto-registration of metaboxes.

Easy Symlinks lets you create and manage symbolic links (symlinks) directly from the WordPress admin dashboard — no command line required.
Features:
<ul>
<li>Create symlinks by specifying a target directory and link path</li>
<li>Delete symlinks individually through a simple dropdown interface</li>
<li>Automatic environment detection for Pantheon hosting (Dev, Test, Live, Multidev)</li>
<li>Filesystem writability checks — prevents symlink creation in read-only environments</li>
<li>Displays existing symlinks and their targets</li>
<li>Tracks only symlinks created through the plugin</li>
<li>Duplicate symlink detection — prevents creating symlinks that already exist</li>
<li>Preset symlinks — auto-detects plugins like Wordfence and offers one-click symlink setup</li>
<li>Optional database cleanup on plugin uninstall via Settings tab</li>
</ul>
How to use:
Navigate to Settings > Easy Symlinks in your WordPress admin dashboard. The “Presets” tab auto-detects installed plugins that need symlinks (e.g., Wordfence on Pantheon). Use the “Add Symlinks” tab to create custom symlinks, the “Delete Symlinks” tab to remove them, and the “Settings” tab to configure plugin options.
For common symlink configurations on Pantheon, refer to the <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/topic/list-of-common-symlinks-in-pantheon" rel="ugc">list of common symlinks</a>.
Important notes:
<ul>
<li>This plugin only tracks symlinks created within the application. Symlinks created from the filesystem or command line are not tracked.</li>
<li>Best used in Pantheon Dev or Multidev environments in SFTP mode.</li>
<li>Symlink creation is disabled in read-only environments (e.g., Pantheon Test and Live).</li>
</ul>

Easy Symlinks

This plugin is very useful on secured host that only allows writable permission on a particular folder

Very Useful

Manage symbolic links from the WordPress admin. Create and delete symlinks without CLI access, ideal for Pantheon environments.
