Your Ideas Shape 
Classic Monks

It would be great if there was an option to ensure that the preloader plays only once per session. Currently, it plays every time someone clicks on the “Home” button, even though I’ve set it to display only on the homepage. This is excessive for users who are already on the website, and it’s not a pleasant experience for the website to load every time.

Whenever an image is added to a post, WordPress automatically saves it in a medium size. It would be beneficial if the image could always be uploaded in full size, ensuring that the image remains sharp and clear.

It would be incredible to have a built-in Structure Audit overlay tool directly in Classic Monks. As a developer, I constantly need to audit HTML5 landmarks, heading hierarchy, accessibility compliance, and content structure, but currently I have to rely on browser extensions or external tools that don’t integrate well with my workflow.

1. We’re excited to share that we’re actively developing Quick Monks Command – an intelligent command palette system that’s going to transform how developers and power users navigate WordPress. Think of it as Alfred meets WordPress admin, built specifically for our WordPress and Classic Monks ecosystem.

Enable seamless integration to automatically offload WordPress media uploads to external cloud storage providers such as Amazon S3, DigitalOcean Spaces, or Google Cloud Storage. This feature would allow users to save local server space, scale storage cost-effectively, and improve media delivery performance. Users could choose their preferred cloud provider, set bucket/folder paths, and configure access permissions right from the Classic Monks interface.

I’d love to see an OTP Login & Registration feature for Bricks Builder! It would be amazing if we could let users sign up and log in using one-time passwords sent via SMS or email, rather than just regular passwords. This would make the process more secure and user-friendly, especially for people who don’t want to remember complex passwords. If possible, it would be great to have options to select different OTP providers and customize the verification process. This would really help membership sites and online stores provide a smoother, safer experience for everyone.

It would be fantastic to have an easy, lightweight Custom Fields feature built right into Classic Monks, similar to how ACF works. This would let users quickly create and manage custom fields like text, image, select, etc. for posts, pages, or custom post types without needing bulky plugins. A simple UI for field creation, flexible placement options, and some basic conditional logic would really help developers and content creators build custom layouts and dynamic websites much faster. A native version focused on performance and simplicity would save a lot of time and keep Classic Monks sites bloat free!

It would be a game changer to have a feedback tool right on the site, similar to Figma comments, where clients and team members can leave feedback directly on live designs. This would allow users to click on any part of a page, drop comments, ask questions, or suggest changes in context making the review process smoother. Threaded replies, tagging, and real-time notifications would make it easy for teams to discuss design tweaks, and clients could point out exactly what they want changed without endless email threads. This feature would seriously improve collaboration and help deliver exactly what clients want, faster and with less back and forth!

It would be great to have a built-in AI tool that automatically generates descriptive alt text for all uploaded images. This would save developers and content creators a lot of time while improving accessibility and SEO.
The AI could analyze each image and suggest clear, human-like descriptions that users can review or edit before saving. Having this built directly into Classic Monks would make every site more inclusive, search-friendly, and effortless to maintain.
