Suggest Features

Planned

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 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.

Next

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!

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.

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.

In-progress

A secure, password-free login and registration system for WordPress — with full support for Bricks Builder.
This feature would let users sign up or log in using one-time passwords (OTPs) sent via SMS or email instead of traditional passwords. It’s faster, safer, and easier for users who prefer not to manage complex credentials.
Support for multiple OTP providers and customizable verification flows would make this ideal for membership sites, client portals, and online stores — improving both user experience and security across the entire WordPress site.
An upcoming visual overlay that helps developers instantly analyze and optimize their WordPress site’s structure, accessibility, and performance — directly from the dashboard.
This tool will highlight layout hierarchy, identify missing tags or accessibility gaps, and surface real-time insights on performance and best practices. It’s designed to help developers and designers build cleaner, faster, and more compliant websites with less guesswork.

Feature Requests - Now Part of Classic Monks

Ideas and feature requests that have been successfully implemented in Classic Monks. This section highlights completed enhancements, showing our commitment to listening to user feedback and continuously improving your workflow.

We’re bringing AI-powered content creation natively into Bricks Builder editor. This upcoming feature will let you generate alt text, headings, on-page copy, and other text content directly within Classic Monks — without relying on third-party tools or browser extensions.

It will include full integration with OpenRouter and other OpenAI Compatible API endpoints, giving you the freedom to connect with your preferred AI models — including free and community models available on OpenRouter.

From accessibility friendly image descriptions to SEO-optimized copy, this integration will help you create faster, smarter, and more consistent content inside Bricks — all while maintaining full control over your data and provider choices.

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.

Log and report failed login attempts to help monitor potential attacks or brute-force attempts.

Display media categories/tags in the media insert modal so users can filter and select assets by category.

Provide a safe manager for adding and organizing PHP, JS, and CSS snippets inside the admin area.

Enable infinite scrolling in the media library for faster browsing of large media collections.

It would be awesome to have a way to self-host Google Analytics v4 directly from my own server. The current setup loads GA from Google’s servers, and it’s almost always flagged in performance reports as a speed bottleneck. For sites focused on Core Web Vitals or trying to hit top scores on PageSpeed, this single script can be the weak link. A built-in self-host option would not only help with speed but also give more control over data and privacy, which is a win-win.

Automatically resize uploaded images to a maximum width/height to save storage and improve site performance.
