Product “Modified” Flag WordPress Function
What it does?
-
New admin column (after Date): Shows a Modified column in the Products table.
-
Inline toggle (AJAX): Tick/untick a checkbox per product to mark it as modified; saves instantly and highlights the cell for feedback.
-
Sortable by status: Click the column header to sort products by their modified flag.
-
Edit screen metabox: Side panel checkbox to set the same flag while editing a product.
-
Light styling: Ensures the column has a consistent width and centered content.
Why it’s useful?
-
Faster editorial workflow: Quickly tag products that were updated (e.g., content, images, specs) without opening each item.
-
Prioritize reviews: Sort by the flag to batch-review products that still need QA or publishing checks.
-
Team clarity: A visible, consistent status reduces back-and-forth and missed updates.
