WordPress Site

The Posts view provides a full-featured table for managing WordPress posts. Browse, filter, edit inline, add custom field columns, and perform bulk operations - all without leaving the app.

Features

• Inline-editable table with sorting, filtering, search, and saved views
• Custom field columns from ACF, Meta Box, and Post Meta with inline editing
• Import and export posts between sites with field mapping
• Inline browser for editing or viewing posts without leaving the table
• Post detail widget panel, bulk actions, and clipboard support

Table

The main content area is a virtualized data table. Default columns include ID, Title, Status, Slug, Author, Categories, Tags, Date, Modified, and Permalink. All columns are sortable and most are editable inline - click any cell to edit directly in the table.

• Title cells show an Edit button on hover to open the post in the inline browser.
• Status cells display color-coded pills and edit via a dropdown.
• Author cells show user avatars and select from all site users.
• Categories and Tags use searchable dropdown editors.
• Permalink cells show an icon to open the post in the browser.

Custom Field Columns

You can add columns for custom fields from three sources, accessible via the buttons at the bottom of the left sidebar. Fields can be browsed, added as table columns, and edited directly in the app without switching to wp-admin:

ACF (Advanced Custom Fields)

• Browse all field groups and fields organized by group
• Each field shows its type (Text, Textarea, Number, Email, URL, Select, Color, Taxonomy, Date, etc.)
• Click + to add any field as a table column
• Edit field settings directly: label, name, instructions, required, default value, placeholder, and character limit
• Shown with a green ACF badge

Meta Box

• Browse field groups with typed fields, same as ACF
• Code-defined groups are shown as read-only
• Create your own groups to add editable fields
• Shown with a purple MB badge

Post Meta

• Lists all raw wp_postmeta keys registered on your site
• Useful for custom fields not managed by ACF or Meta Box
• Add any field as a column or create new fields from the panel
• Shown with an amber Meta badge

Once added, custom columns support inline editing based on their field type (text, number, date, select, boolean, color, etc.) and show a source badge in the column header.

Custom Taxonomies

Beyond the built-in Categories and Tags, RightPlace supports custom taxonomies registered on your site. Access them from the Taxonomies button in the left sidebar (shown with a green Tax badge).

Managing Taxonomies

The Taxonomies panel on the right side lists all custom taxonomies with their term counts. For each taxonomy you can:

• Browse terms - expand a taxonomy to see all its terms with names and slugs
• Add terms - click + Add term to create new terms directly in the app
• Remove taxonomies - click the x button to remove a taxonomy from the panel

Taxonomy Columns

Custom taxonomies can be added as table columns. Once added, the column header shows a TAX badge. Clicking a taxonomy cell opens a searchable dropdown with checkboxes, letting you assign or remove terms from any post directly in the table.

Column Manager

Open the column manager from the Columns button in the toolbar. From here you can:

• Reorder columns by dragging
• Show/Hide columns
• Configure each column - header name, width, alignment, type, pin position, and toggles for sortable, filterable, editable, and resizable
• Add new columns or Delete existing ones

Views

Views let you save and switch between different table configurations. Each view stores:

• Which columns are visible and their order
• Column widths
• Sort state (column and direction)
• Filter criteria

Use the view selector at the bottom of the table to create, edit, rename, or delete views.

Open in Browser

Posts can be opened in an inline embedded browser without leaving the table view:

• Edit - opens the WordPress post editor
• View - opens the public permalink

Browser tabs appear in the left sidebar grouped by post type. Each tab shows the post title and a type badge (Edit or View). You can have multiple browser tabs open at once.

Create Post

Click New Post in the toolbar to open a side panel with a creation form:

• Standard fields: Title, Status, Content, Excerpt, Category, Tags
• Custom fields: ACF, Meta Box, and Post Meta fields are shown in collapsible groups
• Fields currently visible as table columns are marked with a green dot

The post is created via the WordPress API and the table refreshes automatically.

Import / Export

Export

Export posts to a .rp-export.json file:

1. Choose scope - All posts or Selected rows only.
2. Toggle whether to include post content.
3. Save the file. The export includes post metadata, custom fields (ACF, Meta Box, Post Meta), and media references.

Import

Import posts from a .rp-export.json file through a step-by-step wizard:

1. Upload - Select the export file.
2. Preview - Review source site, post count, media count, and a sample of posts.
3. Field Mapping - Map source fields to destination fields. Fields are auto-matched by name.
4. Options - Choose post status (keep original or all as draft), duplicate handling (create new or skip if slug exists), and whether to import media.
5. Importing - Progress bars for media and posts.
6. Results - Summary showing imported, skipped, and failed counts.

You can also paste posts from the clipboard (copied from another site) to skip the upload step.

Post Detail Panel

Clicking a row opens the post detail panel on the right side of the screen. The panel shows:

• Post title and ID
• Status badge
• Permalink (clickable, with copy button)
• Author, slug, date, and modified date
• Taxonomies (categories and tags as chips)
• All custom field values
• Live preview (expandable)

Bulk Actions

Select multiple rows with checkboxes to reveal the bulk action bar:

In normal mode:

• Delete - move to trash

In trash mode:

Context Menu

Right-click a row for quick actions:
