Floating Publish Button

Description

Floating Publish Button is perfect especially for editors who use the page and post editing interfaces more than regular administrators.

They’ll find this plugin extremely useful, since there won’t be any need to scroll up and hit Publish/Save every time they want to update the post, especially if it’s a really long post or a page with lots of metaboxes.

If this behavior is annoying for some users, it can easily be turned off from the user’s backend profile page.

  • Enable/Disable settings in Admin > Users > Your Profile > Publish/Update button

Screenshots

  • Screenshot took on Add New/Edit Post page in admin panel

  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

Like a previous poster, needed something for a page with many ACF fields – and this still works perfectly.

I’m working on a site with ACF custom fields to add sponsor logos to pages. Some pages have dozens of sponsor logos so the pages get very long. Having to scroll to the top of the page to update was a pain, but this plugin keeps the Publish metabox in sight. And it still works in June 2017 😀

I don’t believe in pithy posts; mine have substance. As such, this plugin is a very useful timesaver. Thanks!
