Handy Archive Link is a simple yet powerful WordPress plugin that adds a “View Archive” button to your admin screens, making it incredibly easy to preview archive pages without having to remember URLs or navigate away from your workflow.
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>One-Click Archive Access – View archive pages directly from post type list screens</li>
<li>Smart Detection – Only shows the button when an archive page exists</li>
<li>Customizable Settings – Choose your preferred icon, icon position, open behavior, and disable for specific post types</li>
<li>Automatic Management – Intelligently handles the default Posts type based on your Reading settings</li>
<li>Developer-Friendly – Includes filters for advanced customization</li>
<li>Lightweight – No bloat, just the essentials</li>
<li>Translation Ready – Fully translatable</li>
</ul>
<h4>Perfect For</h4>
<ul>
<li>Content managers who frequently preview archives</li>
<li>Developers building custom post types</li>
<li>Anyone who wants faster WordPress admin navigation</li>
<li>Sites with multiple custom post types</li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
Once activated, Handy Archive Link automatically adds a “View Archive” button next to the “Add New” button on all public post types with archives enabled.
The plugin intelligently detects: 
* Whether a post type has <code>has_archive</code> enabled 
* If a “Posts page” is set in Settings > Reading (for default Posts) 
* Automatically disables the button for Posts if no posts page is configured
No configuration needed – it just works! But if you want to customize, head to Settings > Handy Archive Link.
<h4>Customization Options</h4>
Open in New Tab 
Choose whether archive links open in a new browser tab or the same window.
Button Icon 
Select from 5 different icons: 
* External Link (default) 
* Eye 
* Link 
* Archive 
* Portfolio
Icon Position 
Choose whether the icon appears before or after the button text for a personalized look that matches your workflow.
Disabled Post Types 
Choose which post types should NOT display the “View Archive” button. Note: The default “Posts” type is automatically disabled if no posts page is configured in Settings > Reading.
<h4>Developer Features</h4>
Handy Archive Link includes filters for developers who need advanced control:
Post Type Filters: 
* <code>handy_archive_link_show</code> – Control button visibility per post type 
* <code>handy_archive_link_url</code> – Modify archive URL per post type
Example usage:
<pre><code>// Hide button for specific post type
add_filter('handy_archive_link_show', function($show, $post_type) {
 if ($post_type === 'my_cpt') {
 return false;
 }
 return $show;
}, 10, 2);

// Custom archive URL
add_filter('handy_archive_link_url', function($url, $post_type) {
 if ($post_type === 'product') {
 return home_url('/shop/');
 }
 return $url;
}, 10, 2);

// Conditional logic based on user role
add_filter('handy_archive_link_show', function($show, $post_type) {
 if ($post_type === 'product' && !current_user_can('manage_woocommerce')) {
 return false;
 }
 return $show;
}, 10, 2);
</code></pre>
<h4>Compatibility</h4>
Works seamlessly with: 
* Custom post types created by any plugin (ACF, Metabox, Pods, Toolset, etc.) 
* Any theme 
* Multisite installations 
* Page builders
<h4>Translations</h4>
Handy Archive Link is translation-ready and includes: 
* English (en_US) – Default 
* French (fr_FR) – Français

<li>Screenshots</li>
<li>Adobe Photoshop</li>
<li>Gimp</li>
<li>LibreOffice</li>
<li>GoogleDocs</li>
<li>Adobe XD</li>
<li>SVG from Adobe XD, Illustrator, Figma and Affinity Designer (Note: An additional plugin for SVG Support is required. My favorite: <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/safe-svg/" rel="ugc">Safe SVG</a>)</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/mcguffin/the-paste#applications-tested-so-far" rel="nofollow ugc">And some more…</a></li>
</ul>
… and paste it to Classic Editor or directly to the media library.
The most recent Desktop versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari are supported.
Install <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/safe-svg/" rel="ugc">Safe SVG</a> to enable SVG support.

<h3>Known Issues</h3>
<ul>
<li>Firefox does not support pasting multiple files from the OS filesystem.</li>
<li>Safari lacks the support to convert images to the webP format.</li>
<li>Pasting in TinyMCE triggers a JavaScript error if <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/real-media-library-lite/" rel="ugc">Real Media Library</a> is active. Pasting in the media library is still working.</li>
<li>Edge is working suspiciously well, which is very unusal in the Microsoft world and must be considered a bug.</li>
</ul>

The Paste

This is a most excellent tool for giving your pasted images useful names, for your later reference and for better SEO. There's one extra step -- you don't simply paste into the editor, you have to tell it you're inserting an image and do your pasting in the media dialog.

It would be better if you could just paste in the editor and were asked for the filename automatically, but this is probably the best we can do via a plugin.

On my "essential" list

Paste files and image data from clipboard and instantly upload them to the WordPress media library.
