So, we could make the flyout menu items css/js to load on header so it doesn't wait for to load the whole page and make the backend accessible to and less annoying to low speed users..

You can actually use placeholder text instead of labels, for a minimalistic form layout, but only if you correct this flaw.
So here's a potential solution:

Unfortunately this means the tables are often really slow for no benefit (most of the time I don't need them all). A better solution would be a way to intelligently select all items without needing to show them on the page.
The best example of this that I know of is Gmail, which adds a line above the list of emails when you click the select all box that looks something like this: ""All 50 conversations on this page are selected. Select all 653 conversations in Spam"". The second sentence is a link that, as expected, selects all of your emails that fit the current view, regardless of paging. Screenshot attached." evansolomon

Beside tests focused on functionality (where I directly call my plugin functions) I write some basic integrations tests, which should test that WordPress will call my function, pass data in expected format and recognize data returned from it. For frontend it is quite easy - theme API is well-defined, so I can write something like this:
{{{
public function test_something() {
// add new post
$post_id = wp_insert_post( array( ... ) );
$this->assertGreaterThan( 0, $post_id );
// go to post page
$this->go_to( get_permalink( $post_id ) );
// main loop
$checked_post = false;
while ( have_posts() ) {
the_post();
if ( $post_id == get_the_ID() ) {
$checked_post = true;
// test that content is modified
ob_start();
the_content();
$result = ob_get_clean();
$this->assertEquals( '...', $result );
}
}
// make sure test above was executed
$this->assertTrue( $checked_post );
}

Unfortunately this is not true for admin backend - there most of code is written directly at file level (not in functions and classes), so I would need to either duplicate this code in my tests (bad approach, because would have to monitor original code for changes), or test using whole file (either load it directly or use Selenium) - in this case test would be more complicated.
Therefore I logged this ticket, to start discussion how we can perform refactoring of admin backend to make it more tests-friendly, and how to test it more thoroughly. Most probably we would also need to modify the testing framework (e.g. introduce new `admin_go_to()` method)." sirzooro

20956 Navigation changes: Posts/Pages Administration 3.4 normal normal Awaiting Review enhancement new has-patch 2012-06-14T14:42:25Z 2013-01-22T03:30:06Z "1. Explaining the difference between Posts and Pages to new users is time consuming and often frustrating. We've all done it, have our best/fastest version of the talk down pat, but it still takes longer than it should to get many new users to the point of understanding the difference.
2. Back in 2.7, when we set up the left navigation we put Pages at the bottom of the content nav section because in testing 2.5/2.6 so many people complained about accidentally clicking Posts/Pages by accident because they were close together in the old UI and both started with P (blame it on capital_p). Because of this, Pages falls below the less-frequently accessed areas of Media and Links, and people don't necessarily see it right away because they expect it to be higher up.
I've been testing out two changes to the left navigation aimed at reducing these two issues on my test blog for some time now, and have been using it during demos with both new and existing users to great success, so I think it's time to propose it for core.
Change 1: Change the Posts label to Blog. All Posts can remain as is, or could be reduced to just Posts, since the reason we added the All in the first place was that Matt thought it looked weird to have the same word shown twice.
This change reduces the amount of time it takes me to get a new user really understanding the difference between posts and pages by about 75% (very informal testing, have kept track with about 30 new users by just keeping an eye on the computer clock to see how long it is before we move on). The dynamic blog/static site difference is much easier to grasp when they see that familiar word Blog instead of Posts because ""posting"" is an action that applies even to static content, and even posts are displayed in web pages (vs Pages).
Change 2: move Pages up the menu to sit below Blog, so the two most important content types are at the top. Since they wouldn't look similar (ha ha capital_p) there would be much less risk of accidental misclick based on letter shape (poor manual dexterity would not be affected, but in that case those people are already clicking the wrong things, right?)
I've attached a screenshot showing what the navigation would look like with these changes. " jane

Not realizing they were parent/children(I thought they were 4 independent themes that were identical except for color schemes), I deleted the parent theme first through the WP-Admin's theme screen (/wp-admin/themes).
Now, the parent theme is gone. But WordPress still lists the child themes as broken themes with the disclaimer: ""The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.""
However, there's no option to delete them from the WP-Admin. Being a longtime WordPress user, I know I can FTP into my server and manually remove those directories. But I'll admit, I love how the newer versions of WordPress have made it possible to install/upgrade/delete themes and plugins right from the Admin system, without the need to open up the ol' FTP client and do it all manually. I'm sure there are also newer users of WordPress who may or may not be aware they'd need to go through FTP to delete a broken theme.

23233 Radio Button instead of Checkboxes on Comment Moderation option? Administration 3.5 normal trivial Awaiting Review enhancement new close 2013-01-18T16:26:23Z 2013-01-19T03:13:00Z "Hi! I've been a loyal Wordpress user for years. This is nothing urgent, but something that may improve the user experience.
In Settings > Discussion > Before a comment appears, there are two options: ""An administrator must always approve the comment "" and ""Comment author must have a previously approved comment""
Perhaps I have missed something here, but aren't these options pretty much either/or? If the first box is checked, it's rather irrelevant if the second box is checked, because the first checkbox would override it?
If I'm correct, shouldn't this be changed from a both/and checkbox to an either/or radio button?" danielmount

The Discussions Settings page (options-discussion.php) always trips me up when setting up a new site. There's a lot of options, descriptions, directions, etc on that page — much of which is probably unavoidable. When I visit it, I always think that the hierarchy isn't quite right.
To help with this, I thought of two half-measures.
1. A very simple solution:
Put the ""Allow people to post comments on new posts"" at the top of the options list, with a little space below it. That would make that option the most prominent on the page, without making it stand out too much.
Like this:

2. A more involved solution:
I really like the new click-to-reveal-the-options at work in the ""Page on Front"" (#16379) workflow and thought it might work well here.
*Something* in this direction:

The first could be accomplished for 3.5, but the second re-working could be a further down the line item.

I propose that these styles be removed from any global element. If borders need to stay, they should be applied using a more descriptive selector so if I wanted to use default browser styling in a plugin I can.
I tested this in Firefox (Mac), Safari (Mac), Chrome (Mac), Firefox (Win) and IE 8 by looking at various pages with select boxes (Posts, Settings, Quick Edit, Categories). The only difference is that on Firefox (Win) the border is blue instead of gray and I believe if it's desired to keep this, then a targeted class can accomplish the same task without affecting other operating systems.

The UX on this section is fairly terrible. We give the user an editable ""rel"" field and then don't let them edit it via javascript. Note that if you disable javascript and then edit that field, then your changes are indeed saved and then even show up on the resulting pages correctly. That javascript just won't let you manually edit the field.
I propose that the javascript on this section be changed to allow manual editing of that field, and to make the checkbox/radio sections just add/remove the relevant bits from the field when they are selected/deselected. Result should allow user to manually insert stuff into the rel field and leave those manual insertions unaltered when changing the radio/checkboxes, unless they conflict with the selections being made directly.
Also, side note, would be nice to add a nofollow checkbox to this section as well, to allow easy addition of nofollow to the rel field, which would be handy for the somewhat over-controlling SEO oriented people. ;)

- I use the word tabs loosely. They do not necessarily have to look like traditional tabs. Creative solutions to this would be awesome.

Why can't I see the whole comment? It only shows me an excerpt here, and in order to actually read the comment I have to click over to Comments on the admin menu and find what I'm looking for manually.
Why does the most prominent link for the comment take me to the post editing screen? When is this ever useful?
Why is the post link displayed as a tiny little ""#""?" miqrogroove
21189 We should improve the nonce failure page Administration normal normal Awaiting Review enhancement new 2012-07-08T09:07:17Z 2012-07-08T13:14:00Z "Currently when a admin nonce expires, in most cases we catch this condition using `check_admin_referer()` which presents expired nonces with a rather ugly uninformative error message:

I'd like to propose that we make this page a bit nicer to end users - who although are unlikely to hit it (I hope) it'd be nice to let them know what's actually happened.
My initial approach would be to change the page to
- Include a !WordPress logo, and a link back to the Admin area
- Change the message to something like ""The link you've followed has now expired, In order to complete the action you were performing, please return to the previous page, refresh it, and attempt to follow the link again."".
- In the case where this is happening within the !WordPress admin, it would make sense to have some kind of UI on the page as well - This can currently be done by not using `check_admin_referer()` and using `wp_verify_nonce()` directly and redirecting to an error page.
The current message could often cause confusion, as of course the user wants to do it (They just followed a link!) but as there's no continue button, they're left confused." dd32
16856 When registering custom post type, menu_position isn't honored if it's a number passed as a string Administration 3.1 normal normal Future Release enhancement new has-patch 2011-03-14T16:52:18Z 2013-03-31T02:52:15Z "When registering a custom post type, if you use '50' instead of just 50, is_int() will fail and the position will be set to ++$_wp_last_object_menu. Seems safer to use isset() instead, since position doesn't technically need to be an integer. ($menu gets sorted before being output, and '50' is the same as 50 in that case)
This has the added benefit of allowing MANY more spaces in the $menu variable. For instance, if you passed '50.555' as menu_position, there's very little chance that this will conflict with another theme/plugin register a custom menu or custom post type, and will successfully go between 50 and 51 in the $menu array.
There are currently no checks on $position when using add_menu_page() ... but the checks on register_post_type() currently make this an invalid universal solution.
Personally, I don't see a downside to letting menu_position be a string. Anything other than a number (whole or decimal) will just go to the bottom of the $menu array, anyway, after the sort.
I'm submitting two patches ... one is type independent, and the other casts menu_position as (int) after the isset() check." nathanrice

I propose something similar to the register_sidebar function, looking like this:
add_settings_section( $id, $title, $callback, $page, $args )
$args would accept 3 parameters: before_section, after_section, and section_class.
This way you can style each individual section with relative ease. Just a thought and enhancement to the Settings API.

There isn't a rule or guideline whether a plugin should make a tab or link under settings or if it even has to do any of the above. We all agreed that all plugins should have a link under settings. If the plugin enhances a different part of the site, the settings page could just tell you where the plugin feature is located.
We also agreed that themes should put features like a static front page under customize like most already do, though I heard Responsive doesn't. I was told it puts static front page under settings. If it is a theme feature, then logically you should be able to at least find a link to where the features are under themes.
Implementing general rules for plugins and themes would make !WordPress easier to use. Does anyone else agree?

22862 Consider a CSS preprocessor Administration normal normal Awaiting Review feature request new 2012-12-11T22:01:36Z 2013-01-16T10:33:34Z "The WordPress admin UI CSS is woefully doomed to a life of inadequacy unless we can amenably agree to use technology already available to build a better future for us and our children.
I propose the introduction of SASS for the WordPress admin styling. SASS is a CSS pre-processor that allows us to write DRY, structured, lightweight CSS. In terms of licensing, SASS is GPL-compatible, licensed under the MIT license.
'''Why use SASS over LESS?'''
The answer is simple. SASS is easier to learn and easier to use because it follows the conventions of CSS at its core. In addition, for developers itching to contribute, there are some extremely useful and easy-to-follow reference docs for SASS, making it easy to set up your local development environment and build websites.
'''What are the advantages?'''
The biggest advantage is that we can write less CSS and offer advanced features for theming the WordPress Admin UI. Developers can more easily reskin the WordPress admin.
Another major benefit is that SASS offers the use of variables within our stylesheets. For our purposes, these variables can be used to calculate layout widths, generate color schemes, font sizes, etc.
Another simple advantage is the fact that we can combine all our CSS styles into a single stylesheet, saving precious HTTP requests. In addition, we can easily minify generated CSS files in bundled versions of WordPress, saving file size and killing unnecessary white space, thus decreasing load times of the admin even further.
'''What are the disadvantages?'''
Developers will need to install Ruby and SASS in order to modify styles for the WordPress Admin. For plugin authors, we should write admin UI CSS in such a way that it is easily overridden with a custom CSS file.
In addition, developers would need to learn SASS if they are going to work directly on the styles for the WordPress admin. For the most part, once you've got the idea of variables, mix-ins, and the structure - you're ready to rock.
Last, but not least, when SASS files are modified, they would need to be compiled and committed to Core every time they change. So instead of pushing a single CSS file, you would be pushing potentially many SCSS files and a generated CSS file.
'''In Summary'''
SASS is a great way to reduce code overhead by adhering to DRY principles and will improve performance and modularity in the WordPress admin, which is a top priority." chriswallace

When you make a new custom post type, if you have WordPress register a UI for it, it outputs a screen named ""All XXXX's"". Within these, WordPress automatically adds filters. So let's say I've registered a CPT called Downloads.
So I can now use the built in UI for Downloads and filter the page to show just pending downloads, or just published downloads, for instance.
However, the issue becomes what if you want to display a column for some views, but not others. For instance, if Downloads has a column called ""Sales"" where the number of sales of that particular download is stored, it makes no sense to show that column on Pending Downloads (since they can't have sales before being published).
Currently, at least after days of trying to find a way of doing this, there is no way to do this for the tables registered by WordPress. If I make my own List_Table, then I can do this.
However, there should be a way of adding columns based on filter, so that a developer who adds a column programmatically can go:
{{{
if($view != pending){
// register sales column
}
}}}
Feel free to correct me if I've overlooked a method of doing this.

15289 Make it easier for a non-standard URL to be used to access wp-admin Administration 3.1 normal normal Future Release feature request new dev-feedback 2010-11-02T13:27:05Z 2013-02-07T21:51:15Z "For some sites it is vital that the admin be accessible via a path other than {{{/wp-admin/}}}. Clients sometimes require this because it is easier for their users. Also, it is useful if replacing another CMS with WordPress for the root of the admin to have the same URL, although this can be partially fixed with a redirect.
Even when not ''required'' per se, some of us prefer to use a different URL to access the admin because it is more intuitive for our users to use something like {{{/admin/}}} instead of {{{/wp-admin/}}}.
To be clear: I am not suggesting renaming the wp-admin directory, nor am I suggesting adding an option in the UI to change the path.
Rather, I am suggesting that small tweaks be ade to make it easier for power-users to enable the use of a different URL to access the admin area.
I suggest making the following changes :
'''1.''' Use relative urls within the admin where possible without affecting standard installations.
'''2.''' Allow power-users to add a constant to wp-config.php to change the path of the admin for those links which have to be absolute.
I don't think there is much work involved and I am happy to do it.
Core devs have in the past stated that the user of alternative urls to access the admin is 'not supported', but it is unclear whether this simply means that it doesn't work at the present time or that the core team is opposed to allowing it to happen.[[BR]]
If the latter is the case, I would appreciate an explanation - I'm sure there is a good reason if that is the case, but I can't for the life of me think what it could be. ;)" caesarsgrunt
14676 Moderation email option is confusing, limited Administration normal normal Future Release feature request reopened 2010-08-23T17:06:23Z 2012-05-22T00:53:20Z "The setting is ""E-mail me whenever a comment is held for moderation"" but in that sentence ""me"" is inaccurate; moderation emails are sent to admin_email.
""Email the admin ($admin_email) whenever"" would be accurate.

23930 Screen option for post formats UI Administration trunk normal normal 3.6 feature request new needs-unit-tests 2013-04-03T18:28:10Z 2013-05-14T18:16:58Z "As discussed in IRC, there should be a screen option for the post format UI on the post editing screen.
Nacin would like the UI to be hidden by default when the current theme does not support post formats and there are no non-standard format posts in the database. In this case, the UI would have to be enabled by the user. The UI would need to be automatically enabled when a theme that supports post formats is activated.
Willing patchers, make yourself known.

12004 Select Sidebar when adding Posts/Pages Administration 3.0 normal normal Future Release feature request new 2010-01-25T13:26:16Z 2010-01-25T23:28:01Z "Hey all,
I think it would be a cool feature to be able to create sidebars in WP, and then when creating a page you can choose that specific sidebar.
I think that this can be accomplished by using the ''Parent'' page technique of selecting if the Page has a Parent and if so which one.
Can we develop an option to choose a Sidebar created in the Widgets panel?
Cheers,
Aron

11972 Sort View Post/Pages by Column Administration 3.0 normal normal Future Release feature request new 2010-01-21T21:46:27Z 2010-03-21T01:51:40Z Recently I discovered in WPMU in Site Admin options, you can sort for instance Site Admin->Blogs by last activity date. That is a very handy feature, and certainly would useful for a site with hundreds of nested pages. To be able to sort that list by date, rather than just title would be useful, as it sorts by title of the parent page, and finding a 3rd level child can be difficult to say the least. The search feature is lacking but that is for another ticket. Likewise, sorting posts by category, author, etc could be useful. Since the functionality seems to already be there for sorting these type columns, and the code's been moved in already, I'd think it'd be a nominal change. I simply don't know what direction these menus are going yet to offer a working suggestion. Just wanted to get my 2¢ in before it's too late. miklb

As there is simply no easy way to do this at the moment, I think there should also be a better way of registering hidden menus. I have to jump through loads of hoops just to do this.

18179 WP_Meta_Box Administration normal normal Future Release feature request new has-patch 2011-07-20T01:05:50Z 2013-03-08T16:31:47Z "Ryan, Nacin, and I would like to see a Meta Box class in 3.3. Let's make it happen.
Attached is a first pass (in plugin form, for ease). It provides a basic API and supports multiple instances. Instances are stored in a static meta box registry, which should require minimal interaction.
Keep in mind that meta boxes are not just registered on CPT pages — they are also used on the dashboard, in menus, and in custom UIs. The parent class should be suitable for each of these cases.
I think we should move caps to the main Meta Box class (and allow subclasses/instances to specify/override the cap through $args), and also provide $args to enable/disable any checks we perform before saving (e.g. autosave, etc).
It would also be interesting to integrate this with the proposed metadata API improvements.
