Biggest opportunity: Swap “edit” for “edit posts”. “edit” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #13. “edit posts” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 500 of 14.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 3 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

What to do about it
- Swap “edit” for “edit posts”. “edit” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #13. “edit posts” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “edit”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Simple to use and does the job perfectly, saves me so much time. Thank you.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ rhust11.1y ago
Proof that sometimes the simplest things can make a profound difference. It’s making its way into every WordPress install I touch. Thank you!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Christer Carlsson11.6y ago
Such a great idea! On sites with a lot of content (and no admin bar), this is a real timesaver.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ leejosepho12.0y ago
No overhead for any frills or thrills leading to spills, just a great tool for adding ‘/edit’ at the address bar to go right where you want to go! I have just added it to all sites. Many thanks!

The idea behind this plugin is genius, and the plugin is very well written. It even has a filter in just the right place so you can extend it if you have some special needs (e.g. a page is using a template where the main content might not necessarily be the page in the backend).

I am adding this plugin to every one of my sites! Thank you!

Since I’m not above rating my own plugin, here you go 😀
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Jeffro12.0y ago
This is a convenient way top edit posts and pages, especially if you have the admin bar disabled or don’t like it. The shortcut is easy to remember as well.
