Adds an Edit Content link to the WordPress admin bar so you can quickly jump between
editing pages, posts, and other custom post types. Very helpful if you’re doing
a lot of content editing.

A really time saver feature !
Why this is not
natively included in WP?
Why the natural way to access editing it's not like
this?
So please, come back to your plugin development !

I love this! Simple, effective, very clean. Saves so much time, wish this were part
of WordPress core!
### [Just what I needed!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/just-what-i-needed-517/)

Switching between pages while editing was driving me crazy, this is great! Why isn't
this function a standard part of the tool bar? Just one thought: If a page is set
to "private" visibility it does not show in the drop-down menu. A minor thing for
me, but perhaps there's a way to fix it?

This plugin is simple and works, but it only works with standard WordPress content.
It does not allow custom links and custom content types.

## Changelog
#### 1.4.2.1
* Made the ‘abepl_exclude_post_types’ filter more reliable – will now remove the
checkbox from the settings screen as well as prevent a previously checked, valid
post type from displaying in the admin bar menu.
* Made the ‘bs_abep_query_args’ filter more reliable – now resets to defaults each
time through the list of post types.
* Changed filter from ‘abepl-exclude-post-types’ to ‘abepl_exclude_post_types’.
* Cleaned up some code formatting.
#### 1.4.2
* I was pushing updates way too early in the morning. I accidentally reverted the
plugin to a VERY old version.
* I’m sorry. Don’t hate me. 🙂
#### 1.4.1.1
* Left a little debugging line in v 1.4.1 – It’s gone now. 🙂
#### 1.4.1
* Moved to using `WP_Query` instead of `get_posts`.
* Fixed bug with default ordering. Children were not always shown below their parents
and some grandchildren or great grandchildren, etc. were missing.
* Note: Hierarchical sorting goes away if you change the `orderby` parameter away
from `menu_order`
#### 1.4.0
* Changed versioning system at 1.1.0 and plugin update was not triggered. This
is just a version bump to trigger an update.
#### 1.1.1

post type while filtering
