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)
New in 0.3.0.1:
– Block theme (FSE) support: 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.
– Plugin icon shown next to the title on the settings page.
- Uncompress the download package
- Upload folder including all files and sub directories to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
- Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
- Select your colors in Settings -> Edit Post Link
