User reviews

Users find the WordPress Admin Switcher extension to be a great time saver, simple and effective for quickly accessing WordPress admin areas, including drafts. It is especially appreciated by WordPress admins for improving workflow. However, some users report issues with custom admin URL setups where the extension fails to function properly, and occasionally the switch to the current page's edit screen redirects incorrectly to the admin home. Overall, it is well-liked but has specific limitations in more customized environments.
