WordPress Admin Switcher

Quickly log into and switch to/from the WordPress Admin with a single keyboard shortcut or click.

WordPress Admin Switcher is a productivity-focused Chrome extension designed for power users who want to quickly access the WordPress admin area. Instead of manually typing "wp-admin" or clicking links, users can set a custom keyboard shortcut to switch between the front end and admin area seamlessly.

Key features include:

  • Instant login navigation to the WordPress admin login page.
  • Quick toggling between the front end and the relevant admin edit screen with one keystroke.
  • Customizable keyboard shortcut set via chrome://extensions/shortcuts.

This extension enhances workflow efficiency by minimizing mouse usage and manual URL editing, allowing WordPress users to focus more on content creation and site management.

User reviews

Users find the WordPress Admin Switcher extension to be a great time saver, simple and effective for quickly accessing WordPress admin areas, including drafts. It is especially appreciated by WordPress admins for improving workflow. However, some users report issues with custom admin URL setups where the extension fails to function properly, and occasionally the switch to the current page's edit screen redirects incorrectly to the admin home. Overall, it is well-liked but has specific limitations in more customized environments.
