In Admin, is there any way to use a slug instead of a post ID# within the URL that takes you to a post’s edit screen.
So instead of:
http://example.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=5562&action=edit
You would use something like:
http://example.com/wp-admin/post.php?slug=home&action=edit
Or, since the database stores the slug in the column post-name
:
http://example.com/wp-admin/post.php?post-name=home&action=edit
Of course, neither of these actually works. Is there some existing method for doing this using WordPress’ built-in URL parameters?
If not, what sort of function could be used in my theme’s functions.php
file that would make this work?
