Slash Edit saves you time by adding a simple admin shortcut to WordPress that lets you edit posts and pages quickly by adding /edit to almost any URL.

Instead of navigating through wp-admin or relying on the admin bar, just append /edit and go straight to the edit screen.

https://yoursite.com/about/edit

This makes it easy to:

Edit posts quickly
Edit pages quickly
Use a reliable quick edit shortcut
Access a clean admin shortcut to edit content
Securely share admin edit links with clients

A True WordPress Shortcut for Editing – /edit

Slash Edit is built for speed. Whether you’re a developer, editor, or site owner, it gives you a consistent shortcut to edit posts and pages without relying on the admin bar.

No more searching through the dashboard
No more long admin URLs
Just a fast and predictable edit shortcut that is there when you need it

Replace Complex Admin URLs

Stop sharing links like:

https://yourdomain.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=123&action=edit

Instead, send a clean edit page shortcut:

https://yourdomain.com/about/edit

Perfect for clients and teams who need a simple way to quick edit content or for email senders who mangle URLs.

What You Can Edit

Slash Edit works across your entire site:

Posts and pages
Custom post types
Users
Categories and tags
Taxonomies
Author archives
Front page (if assigned)
Blog page (if assigned)

If you are not logged in, you will be prompted to log in and then redirected to the correct edit screen.

Why Use This Edit Shortcut?

You want to edit posts and pages quickly
You need a reliable admin shortcut without the admin bar
You want to send clients a simple edit page link
You prefer a fast quick edit workflow

Slash Edit is Perfect for WordPress Plugin and Theme Demos

When a WordPress Playground or demo site is generated, you don’t always know the final ID or URL of an item. With Slash Edit installed, give them a relative link such as:

/about/edit

If you have theme demos you can take your users right to the customizer or Full Site Editor with a shortcut: /theme/edit
