About EuroNur Editorial Markers
From the official readme · v3.4.2Description
EuroNur Editorial Markers adds color-coded editorial markers to the WordPress administration area. Markers can be assigned to posts, pages, and selected custom post types and are visible in post lists, edit screens, quick edit, bulk edit, and an optional Dashboard widget.
EuroNur Editorial Markers is a GPL-based continuation of Mark Posts by Michael Schoenrock and Sven Hofmann. It preserves compatibility with the established marker workflow while adding its own administration, safety, migration, and recovery features.
Features
- Create markers with custom background and text colors.
- Reorder markers by drag and drop.
- Assign markers from the editor, quick edit, and bulk edit.
- Enable markers only for selected post types.
- Dashboard widget with compact marker usage counts.
- Control which user roles can view the Dashboard widget.
- Manual restore points for marker structures and post-marker relationships.
- Automatic undo history for critical marker operations.
- Safe and forced undo modes with clear warnings.
- Configurable automatic history retention.
- Repair and migration tool for sites migrating from Mark Posts.
- Optional cleanup of plugin data when the plugin is permanently deleted.
Migration from Mark Posts
If your site currently uses Mark Posts, deactivate it first but do not delete it yet. Then activate EuroNur Editorial Markers and run EuroNur Plugins > Editorial Markers > Maintenance > Check / Repair Legacy Mark Posts Data once.
After the scan completes, verify your markers and Dashboard counts. The inactive Mark Posts plugin can then be removed. EuroNur Editorial Markers does not require Mark Posts files to operate.
If the site never used Mark Posts, the legacy repair scan is not required.
Credits
EuroNur Editorial Markers is maintained by EuroNur and is based on the Mark Posts plugin by Michael Schoenrock and Sven Hofmann. Their copyright and license notices are preserved in the source distribution.
Installation
- Install and activate EuroNur Editorial Markers.
- Open EuroNur Plugins > Editorial Markers.
- Create or adjust your markers under Markers.
- Select the supported post types and Dashboard roles under Visibility.
- If migrating from Mark Posts, run the legacy data scan once under Maintenance.
Frequently asked questions
How is EuroNur Editorial Markers related to Mark Posts?
EuroNur Editorial Markers is a GPL-based continuation of Mark Posts. It preserves compatibility with the established marker workflow while providing additional administration, safety, history, restore, and migration features.
Do I need Mark Posts installed?
No. If you are migrating an existing site, keep Mark Posts inactive while you run the migration/repair scan and verify the result. You can then remove it.
What is the difference between a manual restore point and automatic history?
A manual restore point stores the marker structure and post-marker relationships at a moment you choose. Automatic history is created around critical marker operations and is intended for undoing those specific actions.
What does Safe Undo do?
Safe Undo avoids overwriting posts that were changed again after the recorded action. Force Undo restores the recorded state even when newer marker changes exist, so it should be used only when necessary.
Does deactivating the plugin delete my markers?
No. Deactivation does not delete plugin data. Permanent cleanup is controlled separately in the Maintenance settings and is applied only when the plugin itself is deleted through WordPress.
Where can I find documentation and support?
Visit https://www.nurplugins.org/euronur-editorial-markers/ for project information and documentation. Support is also available through the official WordPress.org support forum.
