Description
Admin Starred Posts lets you mark posts, pages and custom posts within the WordPress admin with stars.
This helps you highlight a post, or mark it so you remember is important.
For example, you might have tons of pages, but are always editing one or two. In that case, star those pages,
and they’ll be easily recognizable in your list of posts.
If you’ve used Gmail before, you’re very familiar with this feature. Similar to that email client, this plugin
let’s you click on a star in your list of posts, pages and custom posts to ‘star’ it.
The plugin works out of the box, but you also get some configuration options to help you customize it to your workflow.
Configuration Options
- Rotate between 12 different “stars”
- Drag and set the orders of your stars
- Enable/disable this feature for any post type in your WordPress install
- Decide whether you want stars to be visible to every one, or in a per user basis.
Other Features
- You can display only starred posts by using the “Stars” filter available at the top of the posts list.
This plugin requires WordPress 3.8 or higher

FAQ
- Admin Starred Posts plugin is activated, but I don’t see any stars in my posts list
-
First make sure the feature is enabled for the post type you want to use. You can set this in Settings>Starred Posts.
You can also check if the Stars column is enabled in the post list. Go to “All Posts” in your admin, and click on “Screen Options” on
the top right corner. There you can choose what columns you want to display. Make sure “Stars” is checked. Click “Apply” after you make
any changes.
