Classic Monks v1.2.3

July 7, 2026

22 changes this release. 4 new features. 8 bug fixes. 6 enhancements. 2 security hardening updates. 1 workflow change. 1 removal.

The headliner is multisite compatibility: we added an optional setting to fully deregister the block library stylesheet instead of just dequeuing it, which fixes the WordPress 6.9.1+ notice on multisite installs where core blocks still depend on that handle. We also added Anthropic Claude and Zhipu GLM as native AI providers, customizable support links on the License page for white-label setups, and a read more/read less toggle for long Code Manager snippet descriptions.

On the fixes side: lifetime licenses no longer show as expired, SMTP debug output no longer breaks Bricksforge and JetFormBuilder form submissions, AI reference image uploads no longer return 400 errors, and Code Manager display conditions parse complex JSON correctly without double-encoding.

Security hardening: password reset and lost-password actions now only work through your custom login slug, and author archives and REST users endpoint are blocked when enumeration protection is on.

Classic Monks v1.2.3 Update

Full Changelog

Gutenberg Block Library Deregister: Optional setting that fully deregisters the block library stylesheet instead of just dequeuing it. Fixes the WordPress 6.9.1+ notice on multisite installs where core blocks still depend on that handle.Added
License Page Support Links: In Enable White Label options, swap the hardcoded Community Forum and Facebook Group cards for up to four support cards you control: titles, descriptions, icons, links, and show/hide toggles.Added
Anthropic and Zhipu AI Providers: Anthropic Claude and Zhipu GLM models work with AI text generation, alt text, and Bricks Builder AI workflows alongside your other providers.Added
Code Manager Description Toggle: Long snippet descriptions in the admin list get a read more/read less toggle, so you can scan the list without wading through full descriptions.Added
Quick Post Nav Defaults: Fresh setups now start with Compact Mode on, Add New enabled, and both draft and published posts in the admin bar.Changed
Code Manager Snippet Browser: Load More replaces pagination. Active filters (type, status, group, search, order) stick around while you fetch more snippets.Improved
License Validation Feedback: Invalid, expired, blacklisted, or non-whitelisted licenses return a specific reason instead of a vague error.Improved
White Label Nested Options Layout: Nested option groups in Interface, Security, and License tabs drop the extra indentation handles where they weren't needed.Improved
Folder Manager Sidebar UI: Sidebar search icon and action button hover states now match the rest of Classic Monks.Improved
Quick Post Nav Bricks Links: "Edit with Bricks" turns on by default for supported post types when Bricks Builder is active.Improved
Bricks Builder Integration: Bricks features load at the right point in the request, and inline CSS applies on the frontend and in admin, including the builder screen.Improved
SMTP Form Submission Errors: With Classic Monks SMTP active, Bricksforge and JetFormBuilder forms stopped returning errors after submit. Emails were always going out; now the success response matches.Fixed
Lifetime License Status: Lifetime licenses no longer show as expired or about to expire on the license dashboard.Fixed
License Page Support Link Settings: Support link options save and stick after you set them.Fixed
License Page Hide Toggles: Hide toggles for support cards only work when White Label is enabled, same as the setting text says.Fixed
AI Image Editing: Reference image uploads in AI workflows no longer return 400 errors from vision-capable providers like OpenAI.Fixed
Bricks CSS Autocomplete on Dynamic Tags: CSS autocomplete stays out of Bricks Dynamic Tags fields.Fixed
Code Manager Display Conditions: Complex JSON in display conditions parses correctly, and the editor no longer double-encodes condition data on save.Fixed
Folder Manager Meta Box Compatibility: Folder clicks actually filter the library in Meta Box AIO and other plugins that spin up their own media modal, not just update the sidebar.Fixed
Quick Post Nav Builder Admin Bar: Removed the toggle and builder-specific positioning CSS for showing the WordPress admin bar inside Bricks and Oxygen.Removed
Custom Login URL Hardening: Password reset and lost-password actions can't be reached through the default wp-login.php URL anymore. They only work through your custom login slug.Security
User Enumeration Protection: Author archives and the REST users endpoint get blocked when enumeration protection is on. Removing the REST link from the page head alone wasn't stopping username lookups.Security

– Vid Tutek: Code Manager description toggles, Load More browsing, and display condition parsing for complex JSON.
