Admin Management Xtended Plugin// Easing WordPress Administration

As a whole, the new WordPress Admin panel is organized fairly well, however when it comes to editing posts or pages quickly without having to open each post or page in a new tab or window, it isn't a very efficient process. For those who are using WordPress as a CMS, it's important to be able to manage contents easily and quickly. That's what this plugin helps to do.

It adds some icons to the posts/pages management panel with AJAX-driven CMS-known functions like toggling post/page visibility, changing publication date and title without having to open the edit screens or reload the page, plus changing page order with drag'n'drop, inline category management and inline tag management, plus much more.

The plugin requires WordPress 3.2+

  1. Download the plugin and unzip it.
  2. Upload the folder admin-management-xtended/ to your /wp-content/plugins/ folder.
  3. Activate the plugin from your WordPress admin panel.
  4. Installation finished.

  1. Deactivate the plugin from your WordPress admin panel.
  2. Upload the folder admin-management-xtended/ to your /wp-content/plugins/ folder and overwrite the existing file.
  3. Activate the plugin from your WordPress admin panel.

Notes on changing page order via Drag'n'Drop

Since Version 1.0 it is possible to change page order via drag'n'drop. Currently it's only possible to drag top level pages, that means only those pages with no parent pages. It is planned to make it possible for child pages, though.

  2. As an admin, I’m not able to change the author of posts and pages in WordPress 3.2.1. Not sure what the reason is. Can you please help? This works in another site of mine (which run WP v3.2)

  6. Hallo, erstmal vielen Danke für das tolle Plugin.
    Ich habe ein kleines Schönheitsproblem in einem meiner Themes bei Verwendung von Admin Management Xtended, das die Funktionalität ansonsten nicht berührt.
    Unter “Kategorien” und “Schlagwörtern” taucht auch “ame_cat_actions” und “ame_tag_actions” auf.
    Wie kann das sein? Eine Idee, wo ich am schnellsten nachgucken könnte? Ansonsten werden die Kategorien und die Schlagwörter aber korrekt angegeben und sind auch editierbar in der tabellarsichen Übersicht.
    Ich habe es bewusst nicht als Bug gemeldet, da wohl nur ich dieses Problem habe. Stattdessen habe ich alle 5 Sterne bei wordpress.org gegeben.
    Gruß
    Jürgen

    • Hallo Jürgen,

      sorry, ich verstehe nicht ganz, was du damit meinst. :) Du meinst, dass die Backend-Actions “ame_cat_actions” und “ame_tag_actions” bei dir auch im Frontend auf den “Kategorie”- und “Schlagwörter”-Seiten auftauchen?

  9. Hi Oliver.

    I like to see the time, not just the date, for a post in the list.It would come in handy when You publishes more than one post a day and sets future date and time for publication.

    It would be perfect because You can change both the date and time for publication of an post with Admin Management Xtended.

    Thanks
    Dan

  16. Fantastic plugin! a real boon!
    Could you please add a feature to load more pages onto the admin page? I manage a large site with hundreds of pages, and it’s nearly impossible to do any meaningful admin with only 30 pages loaded.

    Also, could you add a function to collapse child pages under the parents?

    Cheers!

  17. For some reason, in the order direct input field, if I press “tab”, then it updates via AJAX, but if press “Enter”, it alerts “Error on saving page order”, then it disappears and updates correctly. Any idea what that is? Also, is drag-n-drop available for page-like custom post types?

  18. Hello there,

    great plugin THANX! I’ll give you 5 stars!
    I have an off topic question, I like your admin pannel (saw it in the video) with the tabs on top, which plug-in is that?

    Thanx a lot

  20. Very cool Plugin. Only downside i could find: the url-params are somewhat too long for older browsers (i have a client who’s forced to use FF 3.x, yeah i know) who cannot handle such long urls. is that something than can be fixed (e.g. can those params be send as POST-data?)

    i have put an example of the params here: http://jsfiddle.net/michapixel/UgD4w/

  21. Hi,

    I tried the direct input post order, so I key in the order number, but it doesn’t appear to have any effect on the post order at all

    for example in this link http://www.suttavinaya.com/category/advanced/nikaya-album/

    If it ordered correctly it should display like this;

    Contents
    Album Introduction
    Disc 1 Anguttara Nikaya
    …2,3,4…

    Disc 9 Khuddaka Nikaya
    Refrences

    But as you can see, its all jumbled up.
    What has gone wrong?

    Fyi, I tried this with twentyelenen theme as well and its still not working

    Thanks & regards

  24. I have a field in the admin for the “type” of post. I really need to be able to update this inline as I have a site that Im updating to use custom post types. How can I add that functionality?

  25. In the video, the admin panel displays posts, categories, tags and more in a tabbed view. How do I configure my admin panel the same way? I only see Pages or Posts in a single view in my panel.

    Does your plugin manage categories and tags? The standard view has no sort option, as one example. I’d love to see your plugin extended to the actualy tags & categories admin panel.

    Thanks for a great plugin!

    Zena

  26. OK; it’s an older version. Thank you.

    Is there any way to add your plugin features to the standard WP admin panel view for categories and tags. I have many that need better management than the standard panel provides.

  27. Hello,

    Thank you very much for this great work.
    This plugin is very good.
    When it will be possible to order Posts like pages, with drag and drop, I will vote with 6 stars!

  28. Hi , I just wanted to say thanks for the plugin. It came in very useful recently, when I had to change the postdate on a large number of posts.
    It would be great if some of these features came as standard.
    Anyway thanks again.
    Cheers

  29. Great plugin! I’d like to bulk edit the date of publication of posts. For example, I want me to have 50 posts on one date and time of publication. Possible to implement it?

  30. Hi there! Someone in my Facebook group shared this website with us so I came to give it a look. I’m definitely enjoying the information. I’m book-marking and will be tweeting this to my followers! Wonderful blog and superb design.

  31. Hey Oliver,

    I’ve been using AMX for a while now and although I used to find it really useful, the rather degraded support for CPT makes it a bit tricky to use nowadays.
    The feature I get asked the most by the clients is drag&drop functionality for CPT with capability_type set to ‘page’. Is it a complex update?

    Another thing is with CPT support for Categories or Tags. When these two are enabled, AMX overrides corresponding columns containing incorrect links, e.g.:
    instead of http://site.com/wp-admin/edit.php?category_name=general&post_type=cpt_name it links to http://site.com/wp-admin/edit.php?category_name=general

    You think it’s fixable at some not too distant future?

  32. Just wondering why the plugin changes all the post authors to guest-user when they are already marked with their respective author? Is there a way to leave the original author name as it is instead of having to reset them all again? Thanks.

    • I drop a comment each time I appreciate a post on a website or I have something to valuable to contribute to the discussion. It is caused by the fire communicated in the post I browsed. And on this post %BLOG_TITLE%. I was actually moved enough to drop a comment :-P I do have a few questions for you if you usually do not mind. Could it be simply me or do a few of the comments appear like they are left by brain dead people? :-P And, if you are writing at other social sites, I would like to follow everything fresh you have to post. Could you list all of all your shared pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?|

  36. We got a similar problem to that one of Mendel above. WordPress 3.5.1 german, all other plugins disabled. Admin Management Xtended 2.3.8. When trying to save the new post order, a message appears: “Ajax error on saving page order”. But, unlike Mendel, nothing is changed after the wheel spinned for some seconds. Could it be due to the fact we got the same order numbers several times? Need login for check?
