🚀 Click and hold a sidebar item to open WordPress in a new tab instead of inside the FleekDash window — classic admin and the modern shell can run in separate tabs at the same time.

✨ What's New:

• Click and hold any sidebar menu item (about 750 ms; also called long press) to open that screen in a new browser tab instead of inside the FleekDash window. A normal click keeps you in the shell; click and hold opens the full WordPress admin in its own tab.
• Hold Ctrl (Windows) or Cmd (Mac) while clicking and holding a menu item to open native classic WordPress admin for that screen in a new tab — the same idea as opening classic mode from the toolbar, but for the item you chose.
• Run FleekDash in one browser tab and classic WordPress in another without fighting each other: switch tabs freely and each keeps its own mode.
• Optional branded login toggle replaces the default wp-login.php screen with the FleekDash login design and still works with security plugins that hide the login URL.

⚡ What's Improved:

• Database optimization now clears orphaned metadata more reliably when you run a cleanup.
• User edit sheet is easier to use with a clearer, more focused layout.
• Premium plugin and theme updates are more dependable from inside FleekDash.
• Ctrl/Cmd + click on a sidebar item opens that FleekDash page in a new tab; middle-click opens that WordPress screen in a new browser tab (same as click and hold), outside the FleekDash window.

🔧 What's Fixed:

• Premium plugin updates that failed with download or permission errors now complete correctly from FleekDash.
• Rare freezes when loading integrations no longer lock up the browser tab.
• Debug information in embedded WordPress screens is clearer when troubleshooting is enabled.

Release Date: July 26, 2026

🚀 Improved plugin and theme updates: faster checks, smarter caching, and more reliable notifications.

⚡ What's Improved:

• Improved responsiveness of sidebar and toolbar badges, ensuring they update immediately after plugin updates without needing a full page reload.
• Streamlined media gallery count logic for more accurate representation of media totals across the MediaPicker and MediaPage.

🔧 What's Fixed:

• Resolved problem with stale data overwriting current counts in the menu and toolbar after plugin updates.

Release Date: July 24, 2026
