The admin bar is a featured introduced by WordPress 3.1. It adds useful options such as adding new posts or editing an existing one. But it do not feature a “delete” button, so you can’t trash a post without accessing the post lists on the dashboard. Here is a cool hack to add a “delete” button to WordPress admin bar.
To apply this tip, simply paste the following code into your functions.php file:
<?php function fb_add_admin_bar_trash_menu() { global $wp_admin_bar; if ( !is_super_admin() || !is_admin_bar_showing() ) return; $current_object = get_queried_object(); if ( empty($current_object) ) return; if ( !empty( $current_object->post_type ) && ( $post_type_object = get_post_type_object( $current_object->post_type ) ) && current_user_can( $post_type_object->cap->edit_post, $current_object->ID ) ) { $wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array( 'id' => 'delete', 'title' => __('Move to Trash'), 'href' => get_delete_post_link($current_object->term_id) ) ); } } add_action( 'admin_bar_menu', 'fb_add_admin_bar_trash_menu', 35 ); ?>
Thanks to WP Engineer for the great hack!
