Menu Management

One menu, zero clutter

Menu Builder is how you move around FleekDash and, when needed, the classic WordPress admin, without losing your place or hunting for settings.

• Menu that makes sense: The sidebar menu is built for clarity: main items, submenus, search, optional pinning, and section titles between groups. Structure comes from WordPress admin menu data. Use the Menu Management drawer to reorder, rename, hide, and restyle items at every level, including nested submenus.

• WP mode when you need it: On pages like Posts or Comments, a Page Mode control in the header lets you switch to WordPress view: the same screen opens inside FleekDash as a WordPress iframe (e.g. #/wp/edit.php?post_type=post). You get classic wp-admin or a plugin screen without leaving the layout. You can set a default view (e.g. "Make WordPress view the default" for Posts) so the sidebar and first click match your habit.

• Full menu builder with live preview: The Menu Management drawer lets you reorder top-level items and submenus, rename or hide any row, change icons, add spacing and section titles, and set sidebar defaults for your site. Changes save as overrides and the sidebar updates immediately. Use role preview to validate menus for each team.

• Admin bar that fits: A clean, modern admin bar fits the FleekDash experience and stays consistent with your theme. You can configure it (e.g. light/dark/auto) under Settings → Admin Bar.

• Settings that find you: Access to settings is designed to be intuitive: inline editing and sidebar panels (see In-Place Editor) so you spend less time navigating and more time doing.

• One sidebar for FleekDash and quick access to WordPress when needed. See keyboard & pointer shortcuts for click, click and hold, Ctrl/Cmd combinations, and middle-click.

• Reorder, rename, hide, and restyle menus and submenus with instant feedback in the sidebar.

• Group items with section titles and spacing blocks from Menu Management.

• Switch to WP mode (or back to grid) without losing the layout; set a default view.

• Admin bar consistent with your theme and configurable in settings.

How to access the menu and navigation

• Sidebar menu: The sidebar is part of the main layout (LayoutOne). It appears on the left (or right, depending on theme) on every FleekDash page (Dashboard, Posts, Media, Settings, etc.). You don't "open" it from a URL; it's always there. On small screens it may collapse to an icon or a hamburger that opens the full menu.

• WP mode: On pages that support it (e.g. Posts, Comments, Plugins), a Page Mode dropdown or button in the page header offers WordPress view. Clicking it navigates to #/wp/... (e.g. #/wp/edit.php?post_type=post). The content area then shows the WordPress admin in an iframe. To go back to the FleekDash view, use the same menu and choose Table view (or another FleekDash view), or click the sidebar item for that page (which opens in your saved default view).

• Menu Management (menu builder): Open the Menu Management drawer from the user menu (e.g. your avatar or name at the bottom of the sidebar) or from a Settings entry (e.g. "Menu" or "Customize menu"). The drawer slides in from the side; the sidebar stays visible and updates as you change order or names.

• Admin bar settings: Go to Settings → Admin Bar (#/settings/admin-bar) to configure the admin bar (e.g. theme: light, dark, or auto).

Shortcuts

Available on every sidebar item (main items, submenus, collapsed popover items). Added in 2.6.3.

Click and hold means pressing the mouse button on a menu item and keeping it down for about 750 ms before release. Same idea as long press on a touchscreen, but with a mouse or trackpad.

Use click for everyday in-shell navigation. Use click and hold or middle-click to open full WordPress admin in its own tab while FleekDash stays open in the current tab. Use Ctrl/Cmd + click and hold for classic admin on that menu item only (toolbar Classic mode, but per item).
