Common tasks, step by step
Open a FleekDash page from the sidebar
In the sidebar, click the item you want (e.g. Dashboard, Posts, Media, Settings).
The app navigates to the matching route (e.g. #/dashboard, #/posts, #/media, #/settings/appearance). The content area updates; the sidebar highlights the selected item and expands the right section.
No full page reload; you stay in FleekDash.
Switch to WP mode from a grid page
You're on a FleekDash page that has both a grid and a WordPress view (e.g. Posts at #/posts).
In the page header, open the Page Mode menu (view dropdown).
Select WordPress view. The app navigates to the corresponding #/wp/... URL (e.g. #/wp/edit.php?post_type=post). The content area shows the WordPress screen in an iframe.
Optional: use Make WordPress view the default so that next time you click "Posts" in the sidebar, it opens in WordPress view by default.
Customize menus and submenus (menu builder)
Open the user menu at the bottom of the sidebar and choose Menu. The Menu Management drawer opens.
Top level: drag to reorder, Edit name to rename, toggle visibility, or Change icon on any row.
Submenus: on a parent with children, click Show submenus. Edit submenu rows the same way. Collapse when done.
Spacing: hover between rows and choose Add spacing. Set a section title, adjust height with the slider, or hide the divider line only.
Role check: use the role dropdown to preview what another role will see.
Close the drawer when finished. Overrides are saved and the sidebar keeps your changes.
To undo everything for the current role: Reset to default in the footer and confirm.
See Menu Management drawer for full detail.
Set sidebar defaults for your site
Open Menu Management from the user menu.
Click Sidebar settings in the drawer footer.
Under Sidebar defaults, turn options on or off (floating style, dark sidebar, auto-hide, WordPress-style parent clicks). These apply to users who have not changed the sidebar themselves.
Under Sidebar layout, set site-wide options such as User menu, Menu search, and Popover submenus.
Close the modal. Changes save automatically.
If users already customized the sidebar gear menu, use Remove all in the banner to clear personal overrides.
Reorder and rename menu items (quick path)
Open the user menu and choose Menu.
Reorder: drag items up or down.
Rename: click Edit name, edit the text, confirm.
Close the drawer. The sidebar shows the new order and names.
To restore WordPress defaults: Reset to default in the drawer footer.
Configure the admin bar
Go to Settings → Admin Bar (#/settings/admin-bar).
Set Admin bar theme to Auto, Light, or Dark.
Save. The admin bar uses the chosen theme so it fits the rest of the interface.
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.
| Action | Result |
Click | Open that screen inside the FleekDash window (same browser tab) |
Ctrl/Cmd + click | Open the same FleekDash route in a new tab |
Click and hold (~750 ms) | Open that WordPress screen in a new browser tab (not inside the FleekDash window) |
Ctrl/Cmd + click and hold | Open native classic wp-admin for that item (fleekdash=off) in a new tab |
Middle-click | Same as click and hold: new browser tab, outside the FleekDash window |
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).
