Why Texel?

  • Beat the page builder blues: When visual editors break, Texel keeps publishing flowing with a dependable fallback UI.
  • One console for every post type: Browse and edit posts, pages, and custom post types from a single screen.
  • Instant authoring triage: Jump between entries, update metadata, swap featured images, and fix taxonomies in seconds.
  • Privacy-aware by design: No tracking scripts, no front-end payload, just server-side efficiency.
  • Built for real operations teams: Clear permissions and WordPress-native workflows empower editorial staff without extra training.

Core Features

  • Unified list table with search, taxonomy filters, and pagination for any public post type.
  • Rich textarea editing enhanced with the WordPress CodeMirror experience (line numbers, syntax highlighting).
  • Inline author reassignment plus visibility into user roles for quick ownership changes.
  • Seamless featured image and attachment management, without leaving the page.
  • Bulk insight into custom fields and metadata for troubleshooting complex setups.
  • Localization-ready copy and consistent use of WordPress APIs for long-term maintainability.

Tailored to Developers & Administrators

  • Developers: Inspect and correct problematic posts, migrate content between types, and adjust meta values without custom SQL.
  • Site Administrators: Recover from failed page builder saves, resolve stakeholder requests, and keep high-traffic sites humming.
  • Agencies & MSPs: Standardize support playbooks — Texel turns fire-drills into predictable, teachable tasks.
