Introducing: Calendar View for Posts

The Calendar View has become an integral feature of the FleekDash workflow, offering advanced and modern functionalities:

• Plan content with Month, Week, Day, Year, and Agenda views

• Drag and drop posts to reschedule instantly

• Use a dedicated Calendar Context Menu for fast actions

• Create posts directly from empty slots with quick-create actions

• Use hover actions and right-click actions for edit, duplicate, publish, status changes, and delete

• Navigate faster with keyboard shortcuts: N (next), P (previous), T (today)

• Set Calendar as default listing mode per post type

Experimental Additions

We’re also introducing an experimental feature for power users:

• Top-menu plugin quick actions for selected third-party plugins

This is an early rollout and we’ll continue refining behavior based on real-world usage.

Important Improvements in 2.5.0

• Major overhaul of the permissions and user roles foundation

  • This is a large architectural step and the base for FleekDash’s future evolution

• Better dark/light synchronization in relevant palette editor options

• Direct edit dropdown support for popular page builders

• Improved compatibility with the latest Voxel

• Styling improvements for WooCommerce settings pages

• Styling improvements for Elementor One settings pages

Fixes You’ll Feel

• Improved reliability for calendar status and rescheduling flows

• Better consistency in calendar actions across different views

• Plugin updates via the grid now handle cache and consistency better

What This Means

This release is a big move toward a more unified editorial and admin experience inside FleekDash.
The new Calendar View is the spotlight, and the underlying platform improvements prepare the way for what comes next.

Update to 2.5.0 and tell us what you want to see in the next version!

Before anything else, thank you to everyone using FleekDash, reporting issues, suggesting improvements, and sharing honest feedback.

That constant back-and-forth is what keeps the product moving in the right direction. Every bug report, every feature request, every “this could be smoother” directly influences what we build next.

We don’t take that lightly.

🔄 Updates Are Frequent, and That’s Intentional

If you’ve been following FleekDash V2, you’ve probably noticed one thing: we release often.

• 2.2.7 (Jan 07) – Tabs navigation performance improvements

• 2.2.8 (Jan 19) – Search, Command Palette & Fullscreen overhaul

• 2.2.9 (Jan 24) – Admin Bar enhancements, migration & URL parameter fixes

• 2.3.0 (Feb 13) – Menu & Admin Bar improvements, post duplication, demo mode, migration fixes

• 2.3.1 (Feb 19) – Plugins grid reliability, items-per-page persistence, menu root-cause fixes

We believe in iterative delivery. Smaller, focused releases mean:

• Bugs get fixed faster

• Features land incrementally

• You’re not waiting months for improvements

• Each release carries less risk

The goal is steady, predictable improvement, not big, disruptive drops that create more problems than they solve.

🎯 We Want to Leave Beta, But We Won’t Force It

FleekDash V2 is still in beta. Yes, we want to reach a stable 1.0 (or equivalent) as soon as possible. But we won’t rush it.

Quality Over Deadlines

We fix root causes, not surface symptoms. Shipping a “stable” tag just to hit a date would trade long-term trust for short-term optics. We’d rather release a few more beta iterations and get it right.

Feedback Is Part of the Product

The beta phase is where we learn the most. Real users, real environments, real edge cases. Leaving beta too early would cut short the feedback loop that’s actively improving the product for everyone.

Technical Debt Is Expensive

Rushing leads to shortcuts. Shortcuts become technical debt. Technical debt slows development and increases regressions. We’d rather invest the time now so future updates stay fast and reliable.

No Artificial Milestones

We’re not chasing a random “beta exit” date. We’re chasing a product that feels solid, predictable, and truly production-ready. When the beta label disappears, it will mean we’re confident, not that the calendar told us to.

✅ Yes, It’s Beta. And Yes, It’s Safe for Production 💪

Here’s the important part: even with the beta label, FleekDash V2 is safe to use in production.

We already have hundreds of users running V2 on real websites, agencies, freelancers, content teams, and businesses. It’s powering real workflows, real content, and real client projects.

Why We’re Confident

1. Frequent, focused updates: Issues get addressed quickly.

2. Root-cause fixes: We solve underlying problems, not just patch symptoms.

3. Real-world validation: Hundreds of production installs continuously test the system.

4. Graceful fallbacks: When something fails, it degrades instead of crashing.

5. Daily usage of critical flows: Auth, menu, grids, and search are exercised constantly.

Our Commitment

• We do not ship known critical bugs.

• We fix regressions fast.

• We communicate clearly when something changes or breaks.

The beta label reflects ongoing evolution, not instability or lack of testing.

PS: Keep in mind that many of us are just looking for a more modern interface for WP admin, but that's it. To performance, manage columns, advanced searches in the backend, etc., we already use specialized plugins for each of these things...

Remember, while still in beta (Yep, yet), you can download it through your LTDHunt Apps Dashboard at https://app.ltdhunt.com.

We'll be also improving Voxel integration - Just need to wait then to launch the stable version

This isn’t just a small update, it’s a full redesign with a new interface, faster performance, and some powerful new features already in place (with a lot more coming soon).

We’ve added things like:

• A smarter layout system

• AI Assistant (simple for now, but it's just the beginning!)

• And a bunch of under-the-hood improvements

You can already try it instantly via our Live Demo — no install needed.

Why a Beta, Not an Automatic Update?

Because this is a pre-beta version, we’re not pushing it as an automatic update yet. Some users are already testing it, but for production sites, we recommend holding off just a bit longer.

We want to make sure nothing breaks for current users — especially those using V1 with clients. That’s why V2 is running in parallel, and:

• V1 will continue to receive bug fixes and support

• V2 will keep evolving with new features and improvements

Several users have mentioned they want to keep both versions — for different client needs — so we’ll support that setup long-term.

Want Early Access?

To test the beta version before the official stable release, simply log in to your account and download the latest version.

Otherwise, just hang tight, the official stable release with automatic update is coming in just a couple of days. No action needed — you’ll get it right inside your WordPress dashboard.

Thanks to everyone who’s been part of this journey. Your feedback is helping shape the future of FleekDash!

The latest update brings smarter image detection and performance boosts, while fixing tons of bugs, making managing your WordPress content smoother and more efficient than ever.

💡 Smart Thumb-Image Detection

Have you ever added images to your posts, only to find their thumbnails don’t show up in your FleekDash admin table content listings?

We've solved this problem with a new Smart Image Detection system. The Content Grid now intelligently finds and displays images from multiple sources in your posts—following a smart priority sequence, with visual colored indicators.

• 🔵 Logo Images (L): Custom logo images set in post metadata

• 🟢 Featured Images (F): Your manually set featured/thumbnail images

• 🟠 Attached Images (A): Images directly attached to your posts

• 🟣 Content Images (C): Images embedded within your post content

• ⚪ Placeholders (P): Default placeholder when no images are found

Each image type is clearly marked with a small colored badge in the corner, making it easy to see where your visuals come from.

TIP: Hover over any image to see a helpful tooltip explaining its source!

🔎 Search by ID: Find Posts Instantly

We've also added the ability to search posts directly by ID! Simply type a post number in the search box, and the grid will immediately locate that specific post.

This is perfect for quickly finding posts, pages and custom post types when you have the ID from reports or URLs.

🔥 Performance Optimizations

While adding these powerful features, we've also implemented sophisticated performance optimizations to ensure your admin experience remains lightning-fast:

Advanced Caching System

• Dedicated Image Cache: Images are now cached separately for 24 hours

• Two-Tier Caching: Utilizes both fast memory cache and persistent storage

• Intelligent Cache Clearing: Cache automatically refreshes when you update posts or images

Smart Processing

• Limited Content Scanning: For large posts, only the first 10,000 characters are analyzed

• Progressive Loading: The system checks sources in order of processing cost

• Cached Results: After the first view, image detection results are served from cache

PS: If your site is small, you might not notice a significant performance difference. The real impact is noticeable for users with thousands of posts and intensive management.

🦐Bug Fixes and Compatibility Improvements

• Enhanced: Improved Gutenberg Styling with a sleek new top bar that better aligns with the FleekDash UI style.

• Improved: Woodmart Compatibility for full-screen Gutenberg block

• Enhanced: SEOPress Compatibility to avoid layout or behavior issues.

• Enhanced: Full compatibility with the new Voxel 1.6.

• Enhanced: Compatibility with the latest version of Voxel Addons EA4V.

• Enhanced: Widget Style Isolation from external theme styles to prevent design clashes.

• Fixed: Some Gutenberg editor blocks were flattened in older themes. This issue has been resolved, but may require broader testing.

• Fixed: Gallery Modal Styling issues for consistent presentation.

• Fixed: Woodmart Compatibility for full-screen Gutenberg block.

• Fixed: Various minor bug fixes and code cleanups for a more stable experience.

How to Get This Update

You can get these updates by directly updating your FleekDash plugin through your WordPress dashboard. Make sure you have a valid FleekDash license.

The updates are automatically enabled in your Content Grid—no configuration needed! Simply visit any post listing page to experience the enhanced Content Grid with all these new capabilities.

And what about FleekDash V2?

Check out the official timeline from concept to release date, and stay tuned for what’s coming next.

https://share.cleanshot.com/VL6l0P0H

We're building FleekDash v2 to change all that, and we're excited to share what's coming.

✨ Say hello to FleekDash Workspaces

We’ve gone back to the drawing board to rebuild our foundation — faster, leaner, more stable.

That reset opened the door to something we’ve always dreamed of building: A smarter, multitask-friendly environment inside your WordPress admin.

Workspaces let you juggle tasks like a pro — open, minimize, maximize, and even save your windows to pick up exactly where you left off.

Need full focus? Hit a shortcut and boom — full-screen focus mode.

Want to jump between tasks? Just bring your saved window back instantly.

No more tab chaos. Just a clean, keyboard-powered flow. You’ll feel it the first time you use it. See it working 👇🏻.

🤖 AI Chat – Always on, never lost

We’ve baked AI deeper into your workflow — and made sure it sticks around.

Now, you can chat with your AI assistant while clicking around FleekDash without losing context. Navigate, switch windows, load pages, even minimize and bring it back later — your AI chat remains right where you left it.

🎯 Pixel-perfect, conflict-free design

Dealing with conflict styling issues in the current version? They're gone with v2.
In FleekDash v2, every window runs in its own isolated styling zone. That means FleekDash won’t break the design of your other plugins — and they won’t mess with ours either.

We’re also introducing a brand-new theme engine. That means you can switch between beautiful, ready-made themes in seconds — or even build your own.

🖌️ This preview showcases the standard default theme. In the next updates, you’ll see more live including:

• A fresh minimal theme for distraction-free focus

• The vibrant theme we introduced earlier for advanced users.

• And yes… a nostalgic "FleekDash Classic" theme, as a tribute to version 1 that so many of you already love ❤️

This is just the beginning. Let us know what you think. Comments, ideas, love letters, all welcome.
