[Resolved] Provide Backend Editor Button Without Needing to Click On Front-End Layouts…

When on the front-end viewing a page I can quickly enter the front-end editor by clicking on the "Front-end Layouts Editor" button in the WP Admin bar.

However, in order to get to the Back-end Layouts Editor for this page I have to first click on "Front-end Layouts Editor" and only then am I shown a button linking to the Back-end Layouts Editor.

Can you make it so that the Back-end Layouts Editor button shows up right from the get-go? This reduces a click, which, as we know, doesn't seem like much but becomes quite the nuisance as the number of clicks increase as we repeat the same action over and over.

Thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave

The developers recently had a discussion about modifying this in response to client feedback, but the decision was made to persist with it as-is for the moment.

The reason being that it was a major change in the UI compared to the prior version of Layouts and they want to give it a little time to bed down without changing it again.

I know that there is a push from some users to change the button to a menu, and I expect that in a few months this will be re-visited, and I will be sure to add your voice when the time comes.

Thanks Nigel!
