Link to all posts page?

Question

So I have my admin bar hidden by default, because it's ugly, instead of writing a bunch of if statements so certain elements to the WP-admin panel only appear for logged in users, so far so good.

The one I'm having trouble with is the 'all posts' screen, the url is wp-admin/edit.php, yet that gives me a 404 error.

This works, takes the user to the new post screen.

<?php 
            global $user_login;
            get_currentuserinfo(); 
            if ($user_login) :
            ?>
            <div class="sectionblocktwo">
                <div class="writeurl">

                    <a href="/wp-admin/post-new.php">Write</a>

                </div> <!-- end div loginurl -->

            </div><!-- end div sectionblocktwo -->

        <?php endif; ?>

This does not work. This only fails to work when on the single.php, since it's an looking for the url sitename.com/single-post-name/wp-admin/edit.php, the other links work fine on single pages.

              <?php 
        global $user_login;
        get_currentuserinfo(); 
        if ($user_login) :
    ?>
        <div class="sectionblocktwo">
            <div class="loginurl">

                <a href="wp-admin/edit.php">My Posts</a>

            </div> <!-- end div loginurl -->

        </div><!-- end div sectionblocktwo -->

<?php endif; ?>

Is there some php code or something I can use to link to the all posts part of the dashboard?

Answer 1

Your 2nd example omits the leading / in the URL -- does /wp-admin/edit.php work?

Also, you're wiser to use admin_url(), since it's possible to change the Admin URL to something other than /wp-admin. Instead of <a href="/wp-admin/edit.php">, use <a href="<?php echo( admin_url( 'edit.php' ) ); ?>">. It's more complicated, but much safer.
