Description

A plugin to insert a stylized link to edit posts and pages

New in 0.3.0.0:
– Link types: Button, Circle, and Plain Text
– Behavior controls: position (Above/Below) and open target (New Tab/Same Tab)
– Hover customization: animation presets and hover color options
– Live preview in settings that updates as options change
– Better translations support for option-driven UI behavior
– Security and accessibility hardening (validated settings, focus styles, larger circle hit area)
– Block (FSE) themes: on single templates the edit link is also output after the post content using the Block Hooks API (WordPress 6.4+). The Above/Below position setting applies to classic the_content / the_excerpt output; block themes use the hooked placement after post content.

UPDATE: Now that I’m using it, I see that the Edit page (the target of the Edit button) doesn’t render properly. The Edit tool bar is mostly cut off. This plugin lets you add an edit button at the top or bottom of any post or page. The button is visible anytime you’re logged into your WP site. You can style the button to be as noticeable or as subtle as you like. Much handier than having to open the posts edit page any time you need to edit.
