Bricks Navigator

Download
Description

This plugin adds a handy “Bricks” menu item in the WP admin bar for quickly navigating to various areas within the site as well as to external sites relevant for the users of Bricks Builder theme.

A very useful feature is being able to directly view the list of all Templates and Pages and edit any of them with Bricks directly with a single click without going to Templates and Pages list screens first.

The admin bar can also be enabled in Bricks editor pages via the plugin’s settings page at Bricks Bricks Navigator.

Links to Bricks-specific plugins’ settings page are also provided.

Links to community sites, internal and external Bricks links can be enabled in the plugin’s settings page.

A “new tab” icon is provided for site-specific menu items added by the plugin to open that menu item in a new tab.

All external links open in a new tab.

Built for the Bricks community by Sridhar Katakam of BricksLabs.

Performance Notice: The free version loads all templates and pages in the menu and works best for smaller sites (up to ~20 templates and ~50 pages). For larger sites with extensive content, consider upgrading to our upcoming Pro version for better performance. Note that this only applies for admins and other logged-in users for whom the WP toolbar shows.

Guys, you have nailed it with this plugin.

It is a must for all my Bricks Builder installations and I recommend it to everyone.

Bravo and thank you very much!

Makes easy to navigate through templates and pages

This is a mandatory plugin for Bricks devs. It's easy to navigate through templates, pages, and some settings without hassle.
Thank you, Sridhar.

Must Have For Bricks

By MarkDenis on November 5, 2023

Thank you to the developer, it's the first plugin I add to a Bricks install, the admin bar dropdown will save you so much time and it can also be added to appear on the Bricks editor page.

Speeds up dev time!

By Stewart (ezwest) on September 29, 2023

Fantastic plugin. I was working on a site without it installed and everything took so much longer, I didn't realise just how much time and frustration this plugin saves me.

Essential Bricks Plugin

By Robin (robin ho) on August 24, 2023

Invaluable way to quickly jump between all my Bricks pages and templates. I couldn't build a Bricks site without it now, thanks 🙂

Wonderful Find

By Ken Mick (kengmick) on March 14, 2023

Thank you Sridhar for this clone of the Navigator functionality in Oxy Toolbox. It's a must-have, especially at this price (FREE)!

One request, I miss the "Admin Bar in Oxygen Editor" option in this Bricks implementation.

Amazing plugin!

By Amanda Lucas (alucas36) on November 25, 2022

Just when I thought BricksBuilder couldnt get any better and I come across Sridhar's plugin. A real timesaver and a no brainer for anyones workflow!

This is so cool

By tobfather on October 18, 2022
