IMPORTANT NOTE
If all your posts or pages are only published, nothing in the display will change. This plugin doesn’t add anything to regular Published posts, otherwise the screen will look way too colourful. To see the plugin in action, you will have to set at least one of your posts or pages to DRAFT, PENDING, PROTECTED, PRIVATE or any status other than published, to make it show something.
Notes
- Icons appear inside the tag, if enabled.
- Published status: color, no tag.
- Scheduled status: color, with tag (WP 4.3+)
- Protected status: overrides color, but still adds tag (multiple tags support)
- Sticky status: tag only (multiple tags support).
- Front Page, Blog Posts: tag only (WP 4.2+)
- Privacy Policy Page (WP 4.9.6+)
Acknowledgements
- Some inspiration for the tags was taken from the WordPress Landing Pages plugin.
- Thanks to Brad Vincent for his Dashicons Picker with some minor modifications and updates.
