Wordpress, add a custom button on the post type list page

Question

I am trying to add a custom button on top of a message type page, for example this image

Is there any filter or action that I can use to add a custom button?

thanks

I found a way to do this, but I am not very happy with this procedure. Please add your answer if you find a better way. Average time, this can be useful.

add_action('admin_head-edit.php','addCustomImportButton'); 

I only need this on the edit page, so I use the admin_head-edit.php , but you can use admin_head or some other (not very specific requirements)

 /** * Adds "Import" button on module list page */ public function addCustomImportButton() { global $current_screen; // Not our post type, exit earlier // You can remove this if condition if you don't have any specific post type to restrict to. if ('module' != $current_screen->post_type) { return; } ?> <script type="text/javascript"> jQuery(document).ready( function($) { jQuery(jQuery(".wrap h2")[0]).append("<a id='doc_popup' class='add-new-h2'>Import</a>"); }); </script> <?php }

We dig into the main WordPress code, I did not find a single hook or any filter for this button, you can also see this code from line no 281 to line number 288 . But you can add here according to this filter .

 add_filter('views_edit-post','my_filter'); add_filter('views_edit-page','my_filter'); function my_filter($views){ $views['import'] = '<a href="#" class="primary">Import</a>'; return $views; } 

Hope this helps you.

The accepted answer, unfortunately, remains the only thing that works.

But since the admin header has changed since the response, the correct script should be as follows:

 jQuery(jQuery(".wrap .page-title-action")[0]).after('<a href="#" class="page-title-action">Import</a>');
