Adds an "Add New" button to the Block Editor (Gutenberg) toolbar, so you can easily…
A razor sharp plugin that does just one thing: allow you to quickly create new posts from the Block Editor toolbar. You can create new posts in one of two ways:
- Create a brand new empty post.
- Duplicate the current post.
This brings back the ability to create new posts, pages, custom post types quickly and easily even when you’re in Fullscreen Mode in the Editor.

ChangeLog
0.1.5 – Feb 27, 2023
- Adds a new keyboard shortcut to create a new post directly from your keyboard (Ctrl + Option + N on Mac or Alt + Shift + N on Windows)
0.1.4 – May 10, 2022
- Looks like the last release didn’t get pushed correctly, so this is a push to actually fix the
common.min.css problem.
0.1.3 – May 6, 2022
- FIX: the
common.min.css file was getting enqueued unnecessarily to the front-end, this fixes that. Thanks for the report @mrwweb!
0.1.2 – May 1, 2022
- NEW FEATURE: You can filter the visibilty of the entire QuickPost button using the filter
QuickPost.Display. QuickPost has a property called visibility, which you can set to true or false depending on a condition of your choosing.
- ENHANCEMENT: The
Add New button into a true semantic link to allow folks to open the new post in the current tab/window, new tab, or new window.
- ENHANCEMENT: When you choose to duplicate a post, on success, not only does the entire menu item transforms into a semantic link (for the same benefits as the
add new button transformation, but also with the call to action Edit duplicated {post type label}, to correctly indicate they’ll be taken to the editor for the newly duplicated post.
- FIX: the translations weren’t working correctly because of an incorrectly enqueued file, that’s been fixed.
0.1.1 – February 27, 2022
- Fixes a small bug that causes a fatal error on installs running PHP versions lower than PHP 7.3
0.1.0 – February 21, 2022
