# Classic Monks v1.1.6

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.
