Step-by-step workflows

Common tasks, step by step

Open a FleekDash page from the sidebar

  1. In the sidebar, click the item you want (e.g. Dashboard, Posts, Media, Settings).

  2. 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.

  3. No full page reload; you stay in FleekDash.

Switch to WP mode from a grid page

  1. You're on a FleekDash page that has both a grid and a WordPress view (e.g. Posts at #/posts).

  2. In the page header, open the Page Mode menu (e.g. dropdown or "View").

  3. Select WP Mode. 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.

  4. Optional: use Set as default so that next time you click "Posts" in the sidebar, it opens in WP mode by default.

Reorder and rename menu items (menu builder)

  1. Open the user menu at the bottom of the sidebar and choose Menu (or Customize menu). The Menu Management drawer opens.

  2. Reorder: Drag menu items up or down. The list in the drawer and in the sidebar (after overrides are applied) update.

  3. Rename: Click an item's label, edit the text, and confirm (e.g. blur or Enter). The sidebar shows the new name.

  4. When done, close the drawer. Overrides are saved; the sidebar keeps the new order and names.

  5. To undo everything: in the drawer use Reset to default (or in the sidebar use Reset Menu when available). The menu returns to the original WordPress order and labels.

Configure the admin bar

  1. Go to SettingsAdmin Bar (#/settings/admin-bar).

  2. Set Admin bar theme to Auto, Light, or Dark.

  3. 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.

ActionResult
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).
