This plugin provides a quick way to delete or trash a Post from within the Block Editor. Previously, the only way to achieve this required a user to exit the article or post before deleting. Not anymore! Now, from the comfort of your Block Editor, you could easily delete the Post you’re working on with ease.

✨ Getting Started

Create a new Post or open an existing Post. Locate the ‘Trash Post in Block Editor’ icon at the top right corner of the Block Editor and click on it. The inspector panel shows you a Trash Post button where you can click on.

You can get a taste of how this works, by using the demo link.

🔌🎨 Plug and Play or Customize

The Trash Post in Block Editor plugin is built to work right out of the box. Simply install, activate and start using.
