#63326: Edit Site no longer directly opens Template editing
--------------------------+-----------------------------
Reporter: LilGames | Owner: (none)
Type: defect (bug) | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: Awaiting Review
Component: General | Version: 6.8
Severity: major | Keywords:
Focuses: |
--------------------------+-----------------------------
ISSUE:
When viewing a post, page or archive, clicking "Edit Site" in the Admin
bar used to open the related Template directly, ready for editing.
RESULT:
In 6.8, the above click of "Edit Site" just opens the first page of
"Appearance -> Editor"
WHY IT'S AN ISSUE:
What could be accomplished in 1 click prior to 6.8 now takes 5 clicks and
some scrolling!
Try to comprehend this:
1 click replaced with:
1. Click Edit Site
2. Click Templates
3. Scroll to find the template you wanted to edit (good luck if you have
many of them and forgot which one was attached to the post you started
from!)
4. Click the 3 dots button next to the correct template
5. Select "Edit" from the menu
I'm sorry to be hyperbolic, but this is insanity!
