WordPress Bookmarklets

Here’s some handy bookmarklets I use while building WordPress websites.

Edit the current post

javascript:(function() { const pageid = Array.from(document.body.classList).filter(function(item) { return item.includes("page-id-"); });
const id = (pageid.length > 0) ? pageid[0].replace("page-id-", "") : 0; if (!id) { alert("No WordPress post found"); } else {  document.location = document.location.origin + "/wp-admin/post.php?&action=edit&post=" + id; } })();

This next one is a modified Nat Taylor’s bookmarklet. It’s modified to skip visiting the login page if you’re already logged in. WP will send you to the login page if you’re not logged in.

This is handy when the WordPress admin bar is hidden.

Go to WP admin / login page

javascript:window.location.href = `${window.location.protocol}//${window.location.hostname}/wp-admin`;

Go to the Site Health admin page

javascript:window.location.href = `${window.location.protocol}//${window.location.hostname}/wp-admin/site-health.php?tab=debug`;

How to use

Add a new bookmark in your browser, paste the JavaScript code into the URL field and give it a meaningful name.
