    It would be really helpful if their was a checkbox next to options like “Update and List” on the settings page where you could tick to tell the plugin to return to the referring page when pressed. So for example lets say you have another plugin that displays a list and then opens the post page editor and the user presses the Update and List button. At the moment it takes them to the Post List page rather than the plugin page that they came from which is confusing for the user. Please would you consider adding this option. Thanks.

    Hello,

    Thank you for your suggestion. Do you have an example of a plugin that lists posts where you would like to be returned after a “Save and list”. I will do some tests.

    Thank you,

    Hi nathanwright, a new “Save and Return” action was added that probably does what you want. I hope you like it!

    Hi

    That is brilliant, thanks for add the feature. It does exactly what I wanted and now makes editing in WP so much faster and works really well with other plugins.

    Thanks so much.

    The new Save and Return function is great and works well. One little downside is that the idea of the feature is to take people back to the previous list page where they came from etc but it has a bit of an odd effect when you use the normal Public button a few times within an edit and the press the Save and Return button. It takes you back to the previous page from the Publish and does not return you to the page from where you originally came. The logic should be that when you first display the Save and Return button your should store in say a transient the page where you came from and then each time the Save and Return button is pressed the transient should be cleared. This way you will be returned to the list page rather than the previous page.
