Enables all public post types (posts, pages, and any CPT with a public URL) in wp-admin to show the Published filter by default.

== Description ==

Enables all public post types in wp-admin to show the Published filter by default: posts, pages, and any custom post type with a public URL. Those are the post types where the distinction actually matters, the ones with a front end, where you want to see at a glance what is live and what is not.

This came out of a real need. Some clients of mine had so many drafts and pre-scheduled posts that the published ones were pushed off the first page entirely, and finding a live post meant paginating through drafts to get to it. I got tired of the extra click to filter by published every single time.

== Usage ==

Once activated you don't need to do anything.

== Changelog ==

= 2.1.0 =
* Fixed a fatal error. The `chuck_admin_publish_link_types` filter is public, and a callback returning a non-string post type reached `rawurlencode()`, which throws a TypeError on PHP 8 and took down every admin page with a white screen. Filter output is now validated before use.
* The "All items" link is now located by matching its URL instead of assuming submenu index 5. Index 5 is core's convention, not a contract, so a plugin that reorders the submenu could previously cause the wrong link to be rewritten.
* A link another plugin has already repointed is now left alone instead of being overwritten.
* Added the Requires PHP header to the plugin and readme.

= 2.0.2 =
* Tested up to WordPress 7.1
* Fixed: post types that are public but hidden from the admin menu no longer get a malformed submenu entry fabricated for them. Writing to a menu key WordPress never registered created an item with no title and no capability, which polluted the global admin menu for anything that walks it.
