Development Roadmap

I would like to suggest a small but useful customization feature for the Classic Monks plugin. It would be great to have an option to control how the admin menu is displayed, specifically the ability to arrange the menu list from the left side and selectively enable or disable certain menu items (such as Messages, Media, or similar sections) on a per-account or per-user-role basis.

This kind of flexibility would allow site administrators to create a cleaner and more focused admin experience, especially for clients or team members who don’t need access to every feature. For example, hiding Media or Messages for specific accounts could reduce confusion and help users focus only on the tools relevant to their role.

The idea wouldn’t need to be overly complex—just a simple settings panel where menu items can be toggled on or off, and optionally reordered, would already add a lot of value. Overall, this would be a small enhancement that could significantly improve usability and customization while staying true to the lightweight and classic feel of the plugin.

Admin Menu Organizer with toggle hide/show to Show All and hide forever for user role, for admin top bar too.

Set Order and Widths, and Make Sortable. Display Custom Fields Data. Horizontal Scroll Auto-Enabled when the total width of columns in pixels exceed the default data table width.

Allow customizing admin menu visibility and structure per user role to reduce clutter and improve UX.

Add order and filter controls for taxonomies in post/page/CPT admin lists to improve content management.

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.

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

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.

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.

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