Dashboard Shortcuts lets you create a personalized menu of links to any page in your dashboard: including posts, pages, settings, builders, theme dashboards, and more.
You can also add links to external resources, even outside your dashboard.
Use it as your bookmarks or favorites list to quickly access your most-used tools, documentation, or external resources, all from the admin bar.
Perfect for developers, site administrators, and content managers who want faster navigation to their frequently used pages.
The plugin is fully compatible with popular page builders (WPBakery, Elementor, Beaver Builder, Oxygen, Brizy, Visual Composer, etc.) and will not render or load the shortcuts bar in builder/editor iframes, preventing conflicts and ensuring a clean editing experience.
<h4>Features</h4>

<li>Custom Shortcut Links: Add unlimited custom links with titles and URLs</li>
<li>Admin Bar Integration: Your shortcuts appear under the admin bar for instant access</li>
<li>Bookmark Any Page: Add links to any dashboard page (posts, pages, settings, builders, themes) or any external website</li>
<li>Page Builder Compatibility: The shortcuts bar automatically detects builder/editor iframes and will not render or load in those environments (WPBakery, Elementor, Beaver Builder, Oxygen, Brizy, Visual Composer, etc.)</li>

<li>Easy Management: Simple settings interface to add, edit, remove and order your shortcuts</li>
