Classic Monks v1.1.6 is a precision update shaped directly by our community. This release introduces 10 targeted improvements including 4 new features and 6 critical fixes focused on giving you deeper design control over your login pages, expanding Bricks Builder capabilities, and ensuring rock solid stability across various hosting environments.
Comprehensive Login Page Styling
You can now fully customize the WordPress login experience to match your brand directly within Classic Monks, without needing an extra plugin.
- Design Controls: Adjust form borders, add custom shadows, style navigation links, and customize notice message appearance for a premium, white-labeled login screen.
Expanded Bricks Builder Integration
We are continuously deepening our integration with Bricks Builder to give you more power inside your query loops.
- Classic Feedback Dynamic Data: Added full dynamic data support with new tags for vote counts, ratios, and totals. These work flawlessly inside Bricks Query Loops for building dynamic rating systems.
- WP-CLI & cPanel Stability: Fixed a fatal error that occurred in WP-CLI contexts (like cPanel staging environments) when the Bricks Builder theme was inactive.
Folder Manager Flexibility
Organizing your post types and media is now more flexible than ever with new configuration toggles.
- Menu Visibility Control: Added a “Show in Admin Menu” toggle specifically for post types that don’t utilize a category taxonomy.
- Native Category Fallback: Added a “Use Default Category” toggle for posts and WooCommerce products that rely on native WordPress category taxonomies.
- Persistence Fix: Resolved an issue to ensure your custom post type settings are reliably saved and applied.
Security Hardening & Critical Fixes
Under the hood, we’ve smoothed out edge cases and tightened security protocols to keep your site running safely.
- Custom Login Security: Hardened custom login URL handling by implementing parameter whitelisting, strict redirect validation, and reserved path conflict detection.
- Code Snippet Reliability: Fixed a fatal error (Class ‘CM_Snippet’ not found) when saving CSS snippets in the Code Manager by optimizing class loading orders.
- Dynamic Data Accuracy: Corrected option keys for wishlist and recently viewed counts to ensure accurate feature detection across your site.
- Consistent Menus: Added quick post navigation to our feature detection engine for more consistent admin menu loading.
