A lightweight plugin to allows admins to create an admin dashboard widget with frequently accessed links for quick access.
I originally developed this plugin after spending hours creating client/user documentation for every WordPress project. Instead of writing step-by-step navigation documentation, I used this plugin to organise all necessary links on the single widget for non-technical users. As a developer, I also use this script myself to organise frequently accessed links for quick access.
<h4>Links format</h4>
Each link should be entered in a separate line in the following format 
(the fourth parameter, i.e. font awesome icon class is optional)
<code>Link text|Button link|Button text|font-awesome icon class</code>
<h4>Examples</h4>
<pre><code>Post blog|/wp-admin/post-new.php|Post blog
Post blog|/wp-admin/post-new.php|Post blog|fa fa-cog
Post blog|/wp-admin/post-new.php newtab|Post blog|fa fa-cog`
</code></pre>

Dashboard quick links widget


Nice, simple plugin. Solved my problem. Could not find it when searching from within WordPress, but downloaded and installed and everything works. Thanks.

Very good - Does exactly what it says!

I manage many WordPress sites and it's often a pain to find a frequently used menu item buried within tons of options. I actually developed my own plugin for that reason (called Admin Menu Search), but even then I got tired of typing in the filter to find the menu item I wanted.

I found this plugin by searching for "Admin Links" and after a little bit of setup, it's really handy!!

Excellent plugin idea and very useful! Thank You!
