When managing a large number of articles, I found myself often needing to quickly locate specific posts in the WordPress admin post list, but pure text lists can sometimes be difficult to distinguish at a glance.
So I created a plugin called "Mxwlsoft Post Row Colors" that adds background colors to each row in the WordPress admin post list. You can select colors from the sidebar when editing posts, or set them through quick edit or bulk edit on the list page. Currently, there are 10 colors to choose from, ranging from red to light gray.
This plugin is very simple:
* Works immediately after activation, no additional configuration needed
* Only takes effect in the admin area, doesn't affect frontend display
* Completely free, licensed under GPLv2
* Requires WordPress 6.9+ and PHP 8.3+
I use it personally to mark posts that need review (red), important articles (blue), or content pending updates (yellow), which has significantly improved my management efficiency.
If you have similar challenges or think this small tool might be useful, you can search for "Mxwlsoft Post Row Colors" in the WordPress plugin directory to find it. Feel free to try it out and give me feedback!
(PS: I'm the plugin developer, and I'm happy to listen to any issues or suggestions for improvement)
