New Features & Improvements in Commandify Lite
Commandify Lite continues to get faster, smarter, and more useful with every release.
This page highlights everything newly added to the free version across the latest updates, including new actions, UI improvements, search enhancements, and quality-of-life upgrades that make your WordPress workflow smoother.
What’s New in Commandify Lite (v1.0.2 + v1.0.1) #
Below is a complete summary of all free version additions, enhancements, and fixes from the two most recent versions of Commandify.
Elementor Support Arrives in Commandify Lite (v1.0.2)
Elementor users now get built-in commands directly inside the Commandify palette.
Free features now available:
- Search Elementor Templates
Quickly find templates without navigating inside Elementor’s menu. - Edit With Elementor (posts & pages)
When you search for a post or page, Commandify now shows an Edit with Elementor action so you can open the editor instantly. - Navigate to Elementor screens
Jump directly to Templates, Theme Builder, or relevant Elementor admin pages.
These features were previously available only in premium tools, but now Lite users get them for free.
(Pro users unlock full template management and advanced builder actions.)
Instant Results for Faster Searching (v1.0.2)
Commandify Lite now loads static search results instantly.
This makes navigation and content lookup feel much faster, especially when searching:
- posts
- pages
- custom post types
- media files
- users
No delays, no waiting, Commandify shows results as soon as you start typing.
Smarter Action Handling Behind the Scenes
While these improvements are invisible in the UI, they make everything smoother:
- Dynamic action handler system
- Static result preloading for zero-latency commands
- HTML entity decoding for cleaner URL redirects
This means Lite users get more stable, more predictable, and faster command execution across WordPress.
New Lite Features from v1.0.1 #
Version 1.0.1 introduced three productivity boosters now available to all users.
Visit Site Command
Open your frontend in a new tab instantly, without leaving the current admin screen.
Instant Log Out
Need to log out quickly? Do it directly from Commandify with one action.
Post Status Control
Change post status (Draft, Pending, Published) directly from search results.
No need to open the editor first.
These small features remove several steps from your daily workflow.
