Filter Admin Published Default

Description

Enables all public post types (posts, pages, etc) in wp-admin to show the Published filter by default. This came out of a need as some clients of mine had a lot of pre-scheduled posts so a LOT of drafts are up top and I got tired of the extra click to filter by published. I tweeted out for ideas and @Norcross answered and quickly whipped up this; which we turned into a plugin for public release and here you go!

Usage

Once activated you don’t need to do anything.

Mandatory plugin

It becomes difficult to find it in the plugin manager directly from wordpress, we have to use your dev name to find it.. but since many years there no website I make without installing this plugin ! it should be already a functionality native in wordpress. Works perfectly all the time. Many thanks !

WordPress 5.7.2

This is a Admin plugin to display published posts (pages, posts, products) by default. To see all you need to select ALL. I test POSTS and PAGES and (woo) PRODUCTS and it works. Still working with WP 5.7.2 This is great when you’ve imported a theme with lots of sample pages. I set them all to Pending Review to keep them out of my way while I build a site.

Easy Peasy – Works! (small quirk)

install and activate – pages default is now published. sweet. many thanks from vegan eating hummus update: Mac, wp 4.9.8 – Dashboard > At a Glance > xx Pages || The list will still default to All. But no biggie – plugin kicks in using sidebar Pages/All Pages links.

Just what I needed

Perfect, and works. I have a so many “drafts” on every site I do, so it’s nice not to have to “turn them off” each time. Exactly what I needed.
