Bricks Navigator

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.
