Is there a way to change the color of a row in Post Administration based on the type of post?

2 Views

What I’d like to do is have the entire row be a different color – for example, a light blue for draft posts. That way I can visually see at a glance what’s a draft, what’s scheduled, and what’s published on a given time period (I am working on a system for scheduling posts out weeks in advance).

It would seem the logical way to do this is to alter the row color, since there is a CSS class (“status-draft”) for example. However, it appears that altering the row color doesn’t work since the individual cells as well have overriding colors.

  1. you mean something like this?

    enter image description here

    then here you go:

    add_action('admin_footer','style_posts_list');
function style_posts_list(){
?>
<style>
.status-draft{background-color: #008866 !important;}
.status-pending{background-color: #F53162 !important;}
.status-publish{background-color: #FFF700 !important;}
<?php
}

  2. Yes you can add this to your functions.php file on your current theme

    <?
add_action('admin_head', 'post_color_css');

function post_color_css() {
    //Change the #ccc to what hex color you want
    print '
        <style type="text/css">
        #the-list .status-publish {background-color: #ccc}
        #the-list .status-draft {background-color: #ccc}
        #the-list .status-pending {background-color: #ccc}
        </style>
        ';
}
?>
