Is Classic Monks only focused on Bricks Builder?
No. Classic Monks is not Bricks only.
Classic Monks currently has features for Bricks because that’s where we started with builder specific features like elements, controls, dynamic data, conditions, and animations. Those features activate only when Bricks is installed.
However, Classic Monks is builder agnostic and works with any theme or builder, including Gutenberg, Elementor, Breakdance, Astra, and others. This includes admin tools, performance optimizations, security features, workflow utilities, Quick WordPress Setup, and WooCommerce enhancements.
If you’re not using Bricks:
• Nothing breaks
• Nothing is disabled globally
• Bricks-specific modules simply remain inactive
Future integrations for other builders (Elementor, Breakdance, etc.) will add native features for those builders, not change how the core plugin works.
In short: Bricks gets extra superpowers today, but Classic Monks is designed to be useful across WordPress as a whole.
