For WP versions before 3.5.0
, use the media_buttons_context
filter:
add_filter( 'media_buttons_context', function($context ) {
global $pagenow;
if ( in_array( $pagenow, array( 'post.php', 'page.php', 'post-new.php', 'post-edit.php' ) ) ) {
$context .= '<a href="#" class="button">Button</a>';
}
return $context;
} );
For 3.5.0+, use the media_buttons
action:
add_action( 'media_buttons', function($editor_id){
echo '<a href="#" class="button">Button</a>';
} );
Both will add a button beside the “Add Media” button above the post editor.
