When you’ve got lots of post meta-boxes, your post edit screen can become difficult to search. Make your post edit screen easier to navigate and manage by creating a set of tabs, with the Tabify Edit Screen plugin. And manage it all from the WordPress back-end!
There are still lots of things changing in the code base. There are some hooks you can use but they can change from implementation till 1.0. I will always try to maintain backwards-compatible but till 1.0 I can’t be sure for that.
Screenshots & previews.
- 01Upload the folder tabify-edit-screen to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
- 02Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
- 03Go to the Settings -> Tabify edit screen to enable tabs for a specific post type
Can you define metaboxes that will always be visible?
At this moment the title and submit box are always visible. You can change this by using the following filters: * tabify_default_metaboxes – $defaults, $id, $type * tabify_default_metaboxes_$type – $defaults, $id
The $id is for example the post type name when $type is posttypes.
Can I place the tabs under the title input field?
Yes, you can use the filter ‘tabify_tab_location’ and passing the value ‘after_title’ to it. You can also check on the second argument what the location is. Now always ‘posttype’
