v1.1.1 · by BPOTechHue

Create and manage custom quicktags for different post types with a dedicated management page.

About this plugin

BPOTech Custom Quicktags Manager allows WordPress administrators to create and manage custom Quicktags — quick action buttons that insert custom HTML or text into the editor. Each quicktag can be selectively assigned to specific post types so it only appears where needed.

Key Features

  • Custom Quicktags Management: Add, edit, and delete quicktags from a clean, modern admin dashboard.
  • Per Post-Type Controls: Assign each quicktag to specific post types (posts, pages, or any custom post type).
  • Full HTML Content: Define complete HTML content (opening and closing tags) to insert at cursor position in one click.
  • Multi-Editor Support: Works with the Classic Editor (Text and Visual tabs) and the Gutenberg Block Editor.
  • Select All Toggle: Quickly select or deselect all post types with a single checkbox.
  • Default Samples: Ships with sample quicktags (Highlight, Info Box) to get you started immediately.
  • Multilingual Ready: Fully translatable with English, Vietnamese, and Japanese translations included.

Developer Hooks

This plugin provides several action and filter hooks to allow third-party developers to extend and customize the Quicktags manager without editing the plugin core files.

Filter Hooks

  • bpotech_custom_quicktags_manager_data (array $quicktags)
    Filters the list of quicktags retrieved from the database before rendering them in the editor or admin list.

  • bpotech_custom_quicktags_manager_post_types (array $post_types)
    Filters the list of public post types displayed on the settings screen.

  • bpotech_custom_quicktags_manager_editors (array $editors)
    Filters the list of editors displayed in the settings form checkboxes.

  • bpotech_custom_quicktags_manager_default_data (array $default_tags)

Action Hooks

  • bpotech_custom_quicktags_manager_admin_form_bottom (array|null $edit_tag)
    Fires at the bottom of the quicktag creation/edit form. Useful for adding custom input fields.

  • bpotech_custom_quicktags_manager_after_save_tag (array $new_tag, array $all_tags, bool $is_new)
    Fires after a quicktag is saved or updated. You can use this to save custom form inputs.

  • bpotech_custom_quicktags_manager_after_delete_tag (string $tag_id, array $updated_tags)
    Fires after a quicktag is deleted. Useful for clearing out custom metadata linked to the deleted tag ID.
