IMPORTANT NOTE FOR WORDPRESS 2.0 USERS: This plugin doesn’t work under WordPress 2.0. I honestly do not know that it ever will, but I won’t say “never.” As you can tell, I haven’t upgraded to 2.0 myself. When and if that happens and I reach the same point of frustration with the limitations of the post viewing interface in that version, I may have the impetus to update it. Sorry for any inconvenience.
At long last, it’s finally ready for an initial release. Announcing the Enhanced Views plugin for WordPress. This plugin replaces the original Posts functionality in the WordPress administration interface with a new version that include increased functionality, including:
- Paging through posts with easy-to-use Next and Previous page links as well as links to individual page numbers.
- Easily selectable number of posts per page.
- Browsing by Category, Author, and Date.
- Sorting by selectable columns.
If you want it, go get it.



Will you please give some tips for a little modification in Enhanced View. It is nice the Month wise selection, but I need date wise. Can suggest some additional code in your script?
This plugin change the page wp-admin/edit.php; it insert in the layout some new functionality (show category , etc…).
But it replace all the file or insert in the original file this new functionality?
For example if I want only remove the original functionality ‘Show Month’ what is the minimal code for to do this?
This because I want in the menu Write>Post (post.php) remove some functionality in the right box; I want to have only 2 links; thanks
That’s excellent, stilgar. Feel free to host it. If you want to post back with a link, I’ll link to it in this post.
hi
i too am very keen for this plug-in to run on wp2.0, as i have a blog with about 250 posts in 12 categories, so this would make life so much easier!
maybe stilgar’s version could be offered alongside your original one?
cheers simon
Hi, thanks for this great plugin. I made some small changes to it to make it work with WordPress 2.0. If you want I can send it to you, or I can put it on my site if you don’t want to maintain it, but I’d prefer to have your permission first.
C’ya, stilgar
Not in the foreseeable future, unfortunately. Never say never, but I have no plans to diddle with WP 2.0 at this point.
Love the enhanced view plugin. But just upgraded to, and doesn’t seem to work with, WP 2.0.
Any suggestions? Thanks KAM
is there going to be a version of enhaced views for wp 2.0?
Likely not as I don’t work in wpmu. You could certainly see if someone in the wpmu support forums felt like giving it a shot.
Hello,
I have been using your plugin for quite a while, now trying to get wpmu up and running, I realized your plugin won’t work with wordpressmu.
any chance to get it working?
regards Ovidiu
Thanks for this — it’s amazingly super awesome and is just what I needed. I was about to write a new edit page which restricts on category, but now I don’t have to.
Please see this comment.
thanks for this plug-in. Will you make this working for the “pages” too? Except only the posts. I happen to have 400+ pages, and way less posts…
Great plugin! Uploaded, activated and works like a charm. Now it’s easier to edit posts of the same category.
Thank you.
Not really, especially not to support the management interface which is used sparingly in relation to your actual blog hits. As soon as the page is done rendering that memory is released anyway, so it’s not like you’re taking up massive server resources and holding them indefinitely either.
In terms of why it’s set low, I guess it’s set to account for the majority of uses. If you have a high memory limit with, for instance, a rampant, poorly programmed script that does a lot of recursion or something it will take longer for it to run its course than if it ran out of memory quicker.
That’s the first time I’ve seen a memory problem in that management interface. I basically modified the plugin to free some resources a bit sooner rather than the previous method. Since you still had to bump up the memory allocation I assume WordPress is using quite a bit of memory leaving not a whole lot for my use by the time my plugin runs, but at least it helped you some. Glad you got it running.
ColdForged, do you know if there is any drawback to setting the memory limit that high? If not why do they set it so low by default?
The plugin is working great. I was really surprised that the edit by categories function was missing in 1.5, glad to have it back.
Version 4 looks like it is working but I had to change that line in the config file to (@iniset(â€memorylimitâ€,’16M’);) before it would.
Very cool, thanks I’ll give it a shot. Yeah I had a similar error message when I first upgraded to 1.5. I finally found some help that involved adding a line (@iniset(“memorylimit”,’12M’);)to the config file that increased the memory limit. And yes my blog is huge.
New version, Version 0.4, has been released. Give it a shot and see if it helps with your memory limitations.
Is this for the photo blog that you have as your author URL here? If so, I have a feeling that the problem is that you have a large number of categories and the plugin is simply running out of PHP memory trying to construct the category dropdown. Let me see what I can do to free up some memory. I might have to release a new version for you.
The ‘manage’ page does not change, except that this error message appears on the bottom of the page about ten seconds after the page loads. Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 12582912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 35 bytes) in /home/httpd/vhosts/wrybread.com/httpdocs/gammablog/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1116

Cool. It works great with the fix !
Interesting, both the zipfile and tarball have the 0.3 version. Where’d you download from?
hmm the plugin file still says version 0.2 is it actually 0.3?
Fixed! Thank you.
Snag it guys.
LOL. Quick work! …when do I get the bill? :p
Absolutely… wait a few minutes for the release I’m about to stick up there
. Thanks for the feedback!
Hmm. I downloaded Opera and it appears to be working for me. I was going to investigate getting it working for Opera before the next release, but I don’t see an issue. Well, the titles above the columns aren’t displaying perfectly, but I don’t know that I have the patience to deal with it

Ah! Yes, it does. That’s unfortunate — is there a work around other than removing the apostrophe?
