Posts by Type Access

This plugin adds menu items to the admin menu in WordPress to allow one click access to the drafts, posted, scheduled items and categories under posts, pages and other post types.

Included is a administration menu to allow for options to be set, including which types of posts are added to the menu and how the number of posts in each category are displayed in the menu.

This code is released under the GPL v2, see license.txt for details.
