Currently, copying a post or page permalink from the admin area requires
opening the post or using the "View" link and copying the URL from the
browser.
This ticket proposes adding a "Copy Permalink" action to the post list
table in wp-admin. The action allows users to copy the permalink to the
clipboard with a single click, improving editorial workflow and usability.
The change applies to:
- Posts
- Pages
- All public custom post types
The implementation:
- Adds a "Copy Permalink" row action in the admin post list table
- Uses JavaScript to copy the permalink to the clipboard without page
reload
- Does not introduce any database changes
Accessibility considerations:
- The action is implemented as a button element
- Keyboard accessible
- Includes appropriate screen-reader text
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to wp-admin → Posts → All Posts
2. Hover over any published post
3. Click "Copy Permalink"
4. Paste the link elsewhere
Expected Result:
The post permalink is copied to the clipboard and a confirmation message
is displayed.
Actual Result:
Currently, WordPress does not provide a direct way to copy permalinks from
the post list table.
