Empty posts/pages still get wrapped in tags, which makes them invalid. This plugin fixes that. It looks like 2.5 no longer places empty paragraph tags in a post/page, however it does still add a br tag. For WordPress 2.5+, this plugin removes that br tag, which can be very nice when you expect to let a template do all the formatting. PHP5 Required.

“Quick Empty Trash” is a small utility plugin that saves you time when emptying the trash for any post type. It adds an ’empty trash’ button to every post type’s list table, so that you can empty the trash for that post type without having to load the list of trashed posts first. This helps if you have a very slow-loading dashboard or if you just feel like saving yourself an extra page load in order to perform a simple action.
There are no settings to configure – just activate the plugin and the button will appear for you.
