CPT Commands

Description

This plugin adds a set of new search results to the WordPress command palette (CMD+K/CTRL+K) for all entries from registered types, and thus, enables quick jumps through all posts and pages which are not limited to the built-in Post and Page types.

WordPress has a great time-saving feature— the command palette. Before WordPress v6.9, the command palette was available only in the editor. Since WordPress v6.9, the command palette is available anywhere inside the admin area. It is quite useful to perform quick commands and navigate through pages or posts using keyboard alone. However, it is limited to the core Post and Page types. It does not populate entries from user customized types. So, for the users of Custom Post Types, this workflow that partially breaks due to the absense of custom post types.

This plugin fills up this gap in WordPress core. It injects those missing Custom Post Type entries into the command palette. It requires no complex setup. Just install, activate and it is ready to go!

If you find this plugin useful, then please leave an appropriate review.

FAQ

Is CPT Commands free?

Absolutely free and it will remain free forever.

I cannot see any custom types in the command palette. Why?

You must have at least one custom post type registered with code or using a plugin like SCF, ACF, Pods, Simple CPT, etc. CPT Commands does not create any custom post types (except inside the preview/playground). It only injects existing posts from registered custom post types into the command palette.

I have registered a custom post type, but I cannot see it in the command palette. Why?

Make sure that you have some posts saved under the custom post type. If there is no posts, then there is nothing for the plugin to inject into the command palette.

It takes too long for the posts to appear inside the command palette. What can I do?

If you have too many custom types registered and you do not need to jump through all of them, then turn off unnecessary types from the Settings CPT Commands options page.
