Compact Tables

Dense post list tables in the admin—fit more posts, pages, or custom types on one screen.

Overview

Makes post list tables denser for the post types you choose—tighter row height, cell padding, and font size so more items fit on screen. Optionally replaces the Date column with a compact “Published” date column. Designed to work alongside Admin Columns Customizer (includes a filter so compact date maps correctly). Defaults to posts and pages; Media and many internal types are excluded from the picker.

Who is this for?

Editors working long post lists daily
Sites with many pages or CPT entries
Teams that want denser wp-admin tables without custom CSS
