<p>A simple plugin to show the most-recently edited posts and pages under the Posts and Pages menus, as well as any custom post types you have set up. This lets you quickly jump to those pages to edit them, saving at least one click and some load time too.</p>
<h3>WPML Compatibility</h3>
<p>This plugin is not 100% compatible with WPML: if you edit a post in one language, your menus will change to show all the recent posts in that language. This may be okay for you, or it may not. Either way, full compatibility with WPML is something I definitely want to add for the next version.</p>
<p>If you don’t use WPML (or don’t know what it is), none of the above applies, don’t worry about it. 🙂</p>
<h3>Thanks To…</h3>
<p>Thanks to Hugh Lashbrooke for his excellent <a href="https://github.com/hlashbrooke/WordPress-Plugin-Template" rel="nofollow ugc">WP Plugin Template</a>, and to my friends who tried early versions of this plugin and offered valuable feedback (especially Nico Martin and David Tolnem).</p>
