Overview
WordPress admin work often means a lot of clicking and waiting. Finding a post, jumping into a page editor or checking a plugin can take several screens and several reloads. CommandUI replaces much of that with one command bar. You type what you want, and the action runs right away, with no page reload between steps.
The search forgives typos, so you can find a page, post, user or plugin even when you do not recall its exact name. The plugin works with Elementor and Bricks, and it is built to be compatible with screen readers and other assistive technologies. It suits anyone who spends real time inside the WordPress dashboard each week.
Features
- Universal command bar: A single command bar lets you move around your WordPress site and run commands from one place, which cuts down on mouse clicks.
- Full keyboard navigation: Management tasks can be done with keyboard shortcuts, so you can open posts, edit pages and administer the site without taking your hands off the keys.
- Typo-tolerant search: Search finds posts, pages, users and plugins even when your query has minor misspellings, which helps when you only remember part of a name.
- Elementor and Bricks support: The command bar works with Elementor and Bricks, so you can reach content built with these page builders directly from your keyboard.
- Quick user switching: Switch between user accounts on your site without logging out or refreshing the page, which is handy for testing and administration.
- Plugin and theme management: Activate, deactivate or configure plugins and themes through commands, which keeps routine maintenance short and simple.
- Actions without page reloads: Commands run in real time, so you can work through several tasks in a row without waiting for pages to load.
- Accessibility compliance: CommandUI is designed to work with screen readers and other assistive technologies, so more people can use the command bar.
Best for
- Developers who manage many WordPress sites daily
