Overview

Quickly access your Blog and Home page in the WordPress Admin.
Adds a quick link in the Pages menu and Badges on the Manage Pages screen.

Improve on a common practice

Static front pages (set in WordPress Admin > Settings > Reading > Front Page Displays) are quite common for non blog-centric websites. Often for SEO purposes the page title for the home page isn’t ‘Home’ – which can make finding it amongst the site’s many pages a bit of a hassle.

Quick links

The Pages menu item has, by default, two links – All Pages and Add New. Additional links will be added if a static front page and posts page has been set, allowing users to access these pages in one click from the dashboard.
