BREAKNAV30 For Breakdance builders
BreakNav adds a quick-access menu to the WordPress admin bar so you stop digging four levels deep for the Template you opened yesterday. Free baseline does the navigation. Pro adds pinning, search, custom links, and a settings panel built for the way you actually work.
Pro unlocks with a license key — delivered instantly after checkout. Secure payment via Creem.

Breakdance's WordPress UI hides everything behind submenus. Editing a Header means: hover the Breakdance menu, wait for the flyout, click Templates, click Headers, find the one you want. Same for Global Blocks, Popups, Form Submissions, anything.
BreakNav puts the last 10 of each — pages, templates, headers, footers, global blocks, popups, CPTs — one click away from anywhere in the admin bar. The free version covers the navigation. The Pro version makes it yours.
Activating a license unlocks everything below.
Rearrange menu sections in any order. Pages first today, Templates first tomorrow.
Hide sections you never touch — Popups, Form Submissions, Design Library. The menu stays tight.
Click the pin on any row to lock it above the rest. The pages you edit weekly stop drifting out of view.
Type to search the full content type, not just the visible window. AJAX-debounced, no page reload.
Add your own URLs — staging site, Cloudflare dashboard, internal docs — straight into the navigator.
Rename the trigger from "BreakNav" to whatever your project calls it. The icon stays.
Override "Pages" to "Landing Pages", "Global Blocks" to "Reusable". Per-section, with sensible defaults.
Create a new Page, Post, Template, Header, Footer, or Block from a single dropdown.
See Draft, Scheduled, Private chips next to non-published rows at a glance.
Show 5, 10, 25, or 50 recent items per listing. Match the density to the project.
Shift+B (or any combo) toggles the navigator from anywhere — admin or frontend.
Override background, link, and hover colors to match the rest of your admin theme.
Plus: export/import settings as JSON · Developer integration API · Auto-discovery of any Breakdance-enabled CPT.
Drag sections into the order that matches the way you work. Rename "Pages" to "Landing Pages", "Global Blocks" to "Reusable" — whatever makes sense for the project. Hide sections you never touch. The menu stays tight and personal.
Every change is saved per-site. Export the config as JSON, import it on another install, and you're set up in seconds.
Pin the three pages you edit weekly. They lock to the top of the Pages listing — across sessions, across builds, until you unpin.
Need something deeper? Start typing in the search input. AJAX searches the entire content type, not just the last 10 items in the dropdown. Debounced 250ms so it doesn't fire on every keystroke.
Add the URLs you keep pasting into the address bar — staging environment, Cloudflare dashboard, your hosting panel, the live site — directly into the admin bar. Label, URL, open-in-new-tab toggle. That's it.
Override the admin-bar label so the trigger says "Studio Nav", "Project Hub", or whatever fits the project. Pick background, link, and hover colors to match your admin theme or client brand.
Three color fields, one text input. No CSS, no code. Changes apply on save and persist across sessions.
Set the number of recent items per listing: 5, 10, 25, or 50. Toggle draft visibility so unpublished content shows up with status badges, or hide it entirely to keep the menu clean.
The "Show All" checkbox includes pages and posts that weren't built with Breakdance, so nothing hides from the navigator. The keyboard shortcut binding is here too. Every option has a sensible default; change only what matters.
