WordPress posts, pages, custom post types and a lot more! All these contain tons of data. But default WordPress admin columns show only limited data. Managing such a huge chunk of data is cumbersome.
This article will tell you how to view and manage all the important data in one place for all posts, pages and custom post types along with the custom fields. Not just these, but also for WooCommerce products, orders, coupons and users.
Make inline edits, perform bulk edits, sort columns, export data and do a lot more. Clear enough?
Let’s get started.
What are Admin Columns in WordPress?
Admin Columns is a feature in WordPress that lets users customize the columns displayed on admin screens.
It allows users to show or hide and filter the columns content to suit their needs better.
But to better manage these columns and streamline the content creation and management process, you need plugins.
How to manage WordPress post types efficiently?
Running a WordPress site means you are constantly dealing with a high volume of content. Be it a blog post, web page, or other post type. This can become difficult to manage and edit easily.
Options such as search, export, edit and filter are also limited with default WordPress.
For example, for posts and pages, it offers details such as date, title, and other basic information only.
However, if you are using Smart Manager, that’s simply not the case.
Smart Manager for WordPress and WooCommerce plugin will display all your data in an Excel-like spreadsheet. That’s how you’ll be able to view your data in a neat, clean and well-organized manner.
You can quickly sort, filter and edit WordPress admin columns content and effortlessly access vital information.
Manage and edit all default fields, advanced custom fields for any WordPress post type
Didn’t your WordPress admin dashboard look clean when it was installed?
Eventually, when you add a few plugins, things get messy. More plugins, more data, more custom fields.
Analyzing data becomes difficult and the daily business operations could go off-track.
That’s where Smart Manager plugin shines.
Be it posts, pages, media, or anything else, Smart Manager lets you edit (also bulk edit) column data for all fields and custom post types as well. You can do so without visiting individual content pieces to make edits every now and then.
No hooks, no filters, or any coding is required. Everything is offered to the user to access seamlessly. Smart Manager will automatically pull custom field data from the database if available.
