WP mode

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 a "grid" view and a "WordPress" view (e.g. Posts, Comments, Plugins), the header has a Page Mode dropdown or button. It typically offers:

    • WP Mode – Navigate to the corresponding #/wp/... URL so the iframe shows the WordPress screen.

    • Set as default – When available, you can save "open this page in WP Mode by default." A toast confirms; the next time you open that menu item (e.g. from the sidebar), it can open directly in WP mode.

    • On the iframe page itself, the same control may offer Rich Table (or "Back to grid") – a link back to the FleekDash grid (e.g. #/posts).

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.

Benefit: No tab switching; WordPress is one click away and still inside FleekDash.

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).
