<p>A plugin to insert a stylized link to edit posts and pages</p>
<p>New in <code>0.3.0.0</code>:<br />
– Link types: <code>Button</code>, <code>Circle</code>, and <code>Plain Text</code><br />
– Behavior controls: position (<code>Above</code>/<code>Below</code>) and open target (<code>New Tab</code>/<code>Same Tab</code>)<br />
– Hover customization: animation presets and hover color options<br />
– Live preview in settings that updates as options change<br />
– Better translations support for option-driven UI behavior<br />
– Security and accessibility hardening (validated settings, focus styles, larger circle hit area)<br />
– Block (FSE) themes: on single templates the edit link is also output after the post content using the Block Hooks API (WordPress 6.4+). The Above/Below position setting applies to classic <code>the_content</code> / <code>the_excerpt</code> output; block themes use the hooked placement after post content.</p>

<p>Slash Edit saves you time by adding a simple admin shortcut to WordPress that lets you edit posts and pages quickly by adding <code>/edit</code> to almost any URL.</p>
<p>Instead of navigating through wp-admin or relying on the admin bar, just append <code>/edit</code> and go straight to the edit screen.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>https://yoursite.com/about/edit</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This makes it easy to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Edit posts quickly</li>
<li>Edit pages quickly</li>
<li>Use a reliable quick edit shortcut</li>
<li>Access a clean admin shortcut to edit content</li>
<li>Securely share admin edit links with clients</li>
</ul>

<h3>A True WordPress Shortcut for Editing – /edit</h3>
<p>Slash Edit is built for speed. Whether you’re a developer, editor, or site owner, it gives you a consistent shortcut to edit posts and pages without relying on the admin bar.</p>
<ul>
<li>No more searching through the dashboard  </li>
<li>No more long admin URLs  </li>
<li>Just a fast and predictable edit shortcut that is there when you need it</li>
</ul>
<h3>Replace Complex Admin URLs</h3>
<p>Stop sharing links like:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><code>https://yourdomain.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=123&action=edit</code></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Instead, send a clean edit page shortcut:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><code>https://yourdomain.com/about/edit</code></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Perfect for clients and teams who need a simple way to quick edit content or for email senders who mangle URLs.</p>
<h3>What You Can Edit</h3>
<p>Slash Edit works across your entire site:</p>
<ul>
<li>Posts and pages  </li>
<li>Custom post types  </li>
<li>Users  </li>
<li>Categories and tags  </li>
<li>Taxonomies  </li>
<li>Author archives  </li>
<li>Front page (if assigned)</li>
<li>Blog page (if assigned) </li>
</ul>
<p>If you are not logged in, you will be prompted to log in and then redirected to the correct edit screen.</p>
<h3>Why Use This Edit Shortcut?</h3>
<ul>
<li>You want to edit posts and pages quickly  </li>
<li>You need a reliable admin shortcut without the admin bar  </li>
<li>You want to send clients a simple edit page link  </li>
<li>You prefer a fast quick edit workflow</li>
</ul>
<h3>Slash Edit is Perfect for WordPress Plugin and Theme Demos</h3>
<p>When a WordPress Playground or demo site is generated, you don’t always know the final ID or URL of an item. With Slash Edit installed, give them a relative link such as:</p>
<pre><code>/about/edit
</code></pre>
<p>If you have theme demos you can <strong>take your users right to the customizer or Full Site Editor</strong> with a shortcut: <code>/theme/edit</code></p>
