Classic WordPress admin inside FleekDash
WP mode means viewing the classic WordPress admin (or a plugin screen) inside FleekDash, in the same layout (sidebar + header), so you don't leave the app.
How it works
Route: WP screens are under the hash route #/wp/*. For example:
#/wp/edit.php?post_type=post: Posts list (WordPress)
#/wp/post-new.php: New post
#/wp/users.php: Users (WordPress)
#/wp/plugins.php: Plugins (WordPress)
Content area: The main content area shows an iframe that loads the WordPress URL (e.g. edit.php?post_type=post). So you see the real wp-admin screen (or plugin UI) without opening a new tab.
Page Mode menu: On FleekDash pages that have both a FleekDash view and a WordPress view (e.g. Posts, Comments, Plugins), the header has a Page Mode dropdown or button. It offers:
WordPress view: Navigate to the corresponding #/wp/... URL so the iframe shows the WordPress screen.
Table view (and other FleekDash views): Switch back to the FleekDash UI, e.g. the grid at #/posts.
Set this view as default / Make WordPress view the default: Save your preferred view for that screen. A toast ("Switched to WordPress view" / "View switched") confirms, and the next time you open that menu item it opens in your preferred mode.
When to use it
You need a plugin that only works in the classic WordPress admin.
You prefer the WordPress list or editor for a task (e.g. bulk edit in wp-admin).
You want one layout (sidebar + header) and only the content area switching between FleekDash and WordPress.
No tab switching; WordPress is one click away and still inside FleekDash.
Gutenberg and the block editor
When you open the block editor (Gutenberg) through WP mode or from Edit on a post, FleekDash loads it inside the same layout.
Scoped styling: FleekDash applies theming only where it should. Native editor toolbars, buttons, and panels stay aligned with WordPress. Third-party block plugins (for example Kadence) keep usable sidebar controls and checkboxes.
Light mode canvas: On recent WordPress versions, the editor canvas stays white on first load in light mode instead of flashing a gray background.
Toolbar shape: Block toolbar corners match WordPress again so rounded bars are not wrapped in a square outline.
If block panels look broken after a WordPress core update, update FleekDash to the latest stable release and hard-refresh the editor screen.
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).
