Super WP Jump Menu alternative
by discobrille·1 year ago
I was looking for a WP Jump Menu alternative for a long time.
This is the one, great!
Thank you.
Just awesome!

This is a great timesaving tool.
I was thinking of building something similar on the front end. I know this can work on the front end but I would want a different set of rules (post types etc) exposed to the front end. This would be a welcomed feature!
Thank you for sharing this!

I’m used to these quick search panels in other software and something like this should just be merged into WP core because navigating through the dashboard is painful without it
