WordPress Admin -> Button

Hi,
When you click the WordPress Admin button from the navigation, it takes you to a page edit section like /post.php?post=12&action=edit/

I sort of expected this to take me to a WP dashboard instead?

Hi @rafalkukla,

It’s actually always done this if you’re editing a Page (or any Content). Instead of the main dashboard URL, it takes you to the current post in case you need to change meta settings from a plugin or things otherwise unavailable in the builder.

Got it, In my case, once page has the right page attributes setup, I rarely would need to go and edit the page from within WP, so I am always clicking on this button thinking I’ll take me to a dashboard, because there isn’t any other way?

Just a feedback.

The biggest difference recently is that WordPress hides the rest of the admin area by default when you’re editing. Try turning off their full screen option:

That will make it feel like you’ve gone back into the dashboard because you’ll immediately be able to see all your navigation items like before
