How To Add ‘Preview’ And ‘Edit’ Back To WordPress 2.1.x?

One of the features that I miss the most from WordPress 2.1.x is the “preview ↓” and “edit ↑” jump links that allowed to you move quickly between the edit textarea and the preview iframe.

Matt Cutts managed to add the links back in by adding the following code:

<h2 id=”write-post”><small class=”quickjump”><a href=”#preview-post”><?php _e(’preview ↓’); ?></a></small></h2>

or

<small class=”quickjump”><a href=”#write-post”><?php _e(’edit ↑’); ?></a></small>

But, I can’t get his method to work. Can anyone help?  Am I just putting the code in the wrong place/file?

   You can easily verify whether what you added is correct. When you are editing, do a “View Source” from browser and check whether these lines appear.

   The code is simple and it points the anchor tag to a id.

   I think what I’m going to do is download a 2.0.x version and compare the files to see what was deleted

   Hi,
   from the admin folder edit the post.php file and at line 71 add this within the h2 header tag
   
   Now edit the edit-form-advanced.php file and at the line 15 and after the “wrap” division tag add this:

   I believe it would be the same in the page.php and the edit-page-form.php files

   hmm didn’t work - are you sure it works with the visual editor?

   There is nothing to do with the visual editor. I tried it locally and it worked!
   Anyway, did you added the code I wrote in the last comment because your blog didn’t accept the code and execute it directly.

   (or did you see it from your admin panel?)
   Anyawy, I think you should use this plugin it`s very useful.
