## Descripción

**Handy Archive Link** is a simple yet powerful WordPress plugin that adds a «View
Archive» button to your admin screens, making it incredibly easy to preview archive
pages without having to remember URLs or navigate away from your workflow.

#### Key Features

 * **One-Click Archive Access** – View archive pages directly from post type list
   screens
 * **Smart Detection** – Only shows the button when an archive page exists
 * **Customizable Settings** – Choose your preferred icon, icon position, open behavior,
   and disable for specific post types
 * **Automatic Management** – Intelligently handles the default Posts type based
   on your Reading settings
 * **Developer-Friendly** – Includes filters for advanced customization
 * **Lightweight** – No bloat, just the essentials
 * **Translation Ready** – Fully translatable

#### Perfect For

 * Content managers who frequently preview archives
 * Developers building custom post types
 * Anyone who wants faster WordPress admin navigation
 * Sites with multiple custom post types

#### How It Works

Once activated, Handy Archive Link automatically adds a «View Archive» button next
to the «Add New» button on all public post types with archives enabled.

The plugin intelligently detects:
 * Whether a post type has `has_archive` enabled*
If a «Posts page» is set in Settings > Reading (for default Posts) * Automatically
disables the button for Posts if no posts page is configured

No configuration needed – it just works! But if you want to customize, head to **
Settings > Handy Archive Link**.

#### Customization Options

**Open in New Tab**
 Choose whether archive links open in a new browser tab or the
same window.

**Button Icon**
 Select from 5 different icons: * External Link (default) * Eye *
Link * Archive * Portfolio

**Icon Position**
 Choose whether the icon appears before or after the button text
for a personalized look that matches your workflow.

**Disabled Post Types**
 Choose which post types should NOT display the «View Archive»
button. Note: The default «Posts» type is automatically disabled if no posts page
is configured in Settings > Reading.

#### Developer Features

Handy Archive Link includes filters for developers who need advanced control:

**Post Type Filters:**
 * `handy_archive_link_show` – Control button visibility 
per post type * `handy_archive_link_url` – Modify archive URL per post type

Example usage:

    ```
    // Hide button for specific post type
    add_filter('handy_archive_link_show', function($show, $post_type) {
        if ($post_type === 'my_cpt') {
            return false;
        }
        return $show;
    }, 10, 2);

    // Custom archive URL
    add_filter('handy_archive_link_url', function($url, $post_type) {
        if ($post_type === 'product') {
            return home_url('/shop/');
        }
        return $url;
    }, 10, 2);

    // Conditional logic based on user role
    add_filter('handy_archive_link_show', function($show, $post_type) {
        if ($post_type === 'product' && !current_user_can('manage_woocommerce')) {
            return false;
        }
        return $show;
    }, 10, 2);
    ```

#### Compatibility

 * Custom post types created by any plugin (ACF, Metabox,
Pods, Toolset, etc.) * Any theme * Multisite installations * Page builders

 * English (en_US) – Default*

## FAQ

### Does this work with custom post types?

Yes! Handy Archive Link works with any public post type that has archives enabled(`
has_archive => true`), regardless of how it was created (ACF, Metabox, code, etc.).

### Why don’t I see the button for my post type?

The button only appears if the post type has `has_archive` set to `true`. For the
default «Posts» type, a «Posts page» must be set in Settings > Reading.

### Why is «Posts» disabled in my settings?

If you haven’t set a «Posts page» in Settings > Reading, the plugin automatically
disables the button for Posts since there’s no valid archive URL to link to. Configure
your posts page in Settings > Reading to enable it.

### Can I customize the button appearance?

Yes! Go to Settings > Handy Archive Link to choose your preferred icon, icon position,
and opening behavior.

### Can I change the icon position?

Yes! In Settings > Handy Archive Link, you can choose whether the icon appears before
or after the button text.

### Can I hide the button for specific post types?

Yes! You can either:
 1. Use the Settings page to check/uncheck post types 2. Use
the `handy_archive_link_show` filter for conditional logic

### Will this slow down my admin?

No. The plugin is extremely lightweight and only loads on relevant admin screens.

### Does it work with WordPress multisite?

Yes, Handy Archive Link is fully compatible with multisite installations.

### Is it translation ready?

Yes! The plugin is fully translatable and uses the text domain `handy-archive-link`.
