Overview
WordPress administrators often move between posts, pages, user accounts, and site settings while managing a site. CommandUI brings commands for these tasks into a keyboard-driven bar, so users can search for content or run actions without relying on mouse clicks or page reloads. Its typo-tolerant search can find posts, pages, users, and plugins even when a search term contains a minor misspelling.
The command bar also supports tasks such as switching between user accounts and managing plugins and themes. For sites built with Elementor or Bricks, it provides a way to access and manage builder elements from the bar. Accessibility support for screen readers and other assistive technologies makes the keyboard-based workflow useful to a wider range of WordPress users.
Features
- Universal command bar: Open a command bar in the WordPress dashboard to navigate the site and run management commands with fewer mouse clicks.
- Typo-tolerant search: Search for posts, pages, users, and plugins with forgiving queries that can still find results when terms include minor misspellings.
- Builder access: Access and manage elements created with Elementor and Bricks directly from the command bar.
- Switch user accounts: Move between user accounts on the site without logging out or refreshing pages, useful for administration and testing.
- Manage plugins and themes: Run commands to activate or deactivate plugins and themes, or configure them as part of site maintenance.
- Accessible keyboard controls: Use keyboard-based navigation with support for screen readers and other assistive technologies.
Best for
- WordPress site administrators
