Add Back Buttons To Edit Screens In The Wordpress Admin Image

Okay, okay. Seriously now… This is almost always the first snippet I install because when it’s not active I start twitching and can hardly function without it. Also, it’s sooooo handy when you’re editing your site on a mobile device, so you don’t have to dig through menus. Lazy===Good.

How it does it…

Use the JSON file for easily importing into your CodeSnippetsPro plugin. Use the PHP file or just copy/paste the code sample into your functions.php if you’re not using CodeSnippetsPro.
