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.

FAQ

Where are the settings?

You can click the Settings link on the plugin install screen, or find it under SETTINGS: Post State Tags.

Why are there no default settings to make it look like the screenshots?

On some installations, the plugin setup doesn’t work correctly (haven’t figured that out), so the settings appears blank. Just click on the [RESET SETTINGS] button at the bottom to reset the settings, make change after and then SAVE.

Can I change colors?

Yes. In the settings admin screen, you can change the color values using the color picker. The lighter background color is automatically calculated using RGB/HSL values.

Can I change icons?

Yes. In the settings admin screen, you can pick new dash icons using the picker, or enter the dash icon class, see DashIcons.

Are there default colors and icons / How can I reset to defaults?

You can simply go to the settings and click the reset to defaults button at the bottom to reset all the colors and dash-icons to their default values.

Can I temporarily disable the plugin?

Yes. In the settings admin screen, there is a checkbox to disable the output (preserve settings).

Can I hide the little dash icons?

Yes. In the settings admin screen, there is a checkbox to disable the tag icons (if you prefer).

How do I change the light background color value

There is a back-end setting to change the value of the lightness. The default is 0.97 which creates a 97% lightness of the primary status color setup for each status. The values can range from 0 = black/dark to 0.5 = full saturation of the color to 1.0 = full white/light.

Incompatible with WP 5.5.1

Hello, your Plugin unfortunately poses a problem with WP 5.5.1, it makes the customization panel of a theme problematic: not possible to save the changes. In addition, a kind of breadcrumb trail is placed at the top left of the Admin. Are you thinking of updating your plugin? Because he is really very nice very useful, thank you.

Fantastic plugin for a better view

I like to install it to my clients for make it an easier experience for them to use their websites. It works for Woocommerce order status too, you just have to customize the colors in the settings. This should be part of core.
