## Description

This plugin adds menu items to the admin menu in WordPress to allow one click access
to the drafts, posted, scheduled items and categories under posts, pages and other
post types.

Included is a administration menu to allow for options to be set, including which
types of posts are added to the menu and how the number of posts in each category
are displayed in the menu.

This code is released under the GPL v2, see license.txt for details.

Special thanks to the translators:

 * Spanish – Andrew Kurtis (www.webhostinghub.com)

## Installation

 1. Extract the archive file into your plugins directory in the posts-by-type-access
    folder.
 2. Activate the plugin in the Plugin options.
 3. Customize the settings from the Options panel, if desired.

## FAQ

### Why is the category count incorrect in version 2.0?

WordPress only counts published articles as being ‘in’ a category so any drafts 
you have will not be reflected in the category count.

Version 2.1 replaced the built in WordPress function with a custom SQL query that
properly reflects the category count for each post type and status of the posts.
