wpRigel Weekly Updates: Major Releases across Commandify and Pollify
This week’s rollout is one of our heaviest yet. Both versions of Commandify received significant new capabilities, and Pollify shipped important privacy and accessibility updates.
If you work on WordPress sites daily, these changes should give you more control and shave minutes off repetitive tasks.
Commandify Pro and Free: A Closer Look at What Shipped
We pushed two releases for Commandify back-to-back v1.0.1 (Dec 1) and v1.0.2 (Dec 2). Together they introduce long-awaited integrations, faster search, and a more consistent command experience across the dashboard.
Elementor integration arrives
Elementor has always been one of the top feature requests from our users. This release introduces a complete first version of that integration. It gives you template search, template actions (export, duplicate, copy, rename), “Edit with Elementor” for posts and pages, and quick access to actions like regenerate CSS, sync library, and clear cache.
We built this with the goal of making it more usable and flexible than similar command palettes offered by competitors such as CommandUI. It’s available in both Free and Pro, with deeper template actions unlocked for Pro users.
User switching added to Pro
User Switching is now built directly into Commandify Pro.
You can switch to any user, browse the last 20 accounts you interacted with, and switch back when you’re done. The palette shows your active switch session in “User Switch Status,” and all URLs work cleanly across multisite setups.
This is one of the most useful additions for support teams, agencies, and developers replicating user-level issues.
Speed improvements across search
We introduced instant static results for common search queries, static result preloading, and a new dynamic action handler that makes command execution more predictable. Redirect URLs now decode HTML entities properly, improving REST-driven actions.
Commandify also now includes multiple new filters for developer customization including:
commandify_search_user_actionscommandify_search_{post_type}_actionscommandify_search_post_type_args
A new COMMANDIFY_DEV_MODE constant gives local developers a cleaner way to test Pro features.
WooCommerce refinements
Search results are more consistent and now surface recent orders and customers instantly. The internal structure for WooCommerce, Elementor, and User Switching integrations was reorganized for better long-term maintenance.
Fixes and architecture improvements
The release also includes adjustments like:
- Fixing ampersand URL issues
- Removing duplicate Elementor commands
- Correcting “Switch Back” logic
- Using proper WordPress capabilities for User Switching
- Improved dynamic form evaluation
- Updated testing documentation and implementation notes
These updates reflect everything listed in the v1.0.2 changelog and align with the architectural direction documented in our internal references.
Commandify Free: Quality-of-life Additions
Version 1.0.1 of Commandify Free introduced several new commands and a cleaner UI.
New commands
- Visit Site: open the frontend instantly from the palette
- Instant Log Out: sign out without navigating to the profile page
- Post Status Control: change post status directly from command options
UI and behavior improvements
- User search now shows proper user icons
- Media search displays thumbnails
- Default results always show the latest 10 items across posts, users, and media
- The palette stays open after maintenance actions like cache clearing or rewrite flush
- Debounced API requests help search feel smoother while typing
These updates make the free version more capable for everyday site management.
Pollify Update: Privacy and Accessibility Improvements
Pollify’s latest update introduces anonymous voting, a key request from users who handle GDPR-sensitive projects. You can now offer polls without linking responses to trackable identifiers.
We also added the option to send a poll block to Trash right from the editor. Accessibility labels were refined, and an undefined get_result warning was resolved.
This aligns with our long-term Pollify roadmap described in the knowledge base.
What we are building next for Commandify
Our current development sprint includes:
- Integrations for Gravity Forms, Fluent Forms, and WPForms
- A Bricks Builder integration with navigation and builder-level actions
These are already in testing and scheduled for rollout within the next few days.

Stay Connected with wpRigel and The Products We Build
wpRigel started with a simple goal: build lightweight, focused tools that remove friction for creators, marketers, developers, and agencies working inside WordPress every day.
We don’t chase bloated feature lists or heavy interfaces. Instead, we ship products that solve specific problems with clean UX and reliable performance.
Pollify was our first step toward that mission- a block-native poll creator built for the modern Gutenberg editor. No shortcodes, no external dashboards, just a straightforward way to gather feedback and run voting experiences on WordPress sites. Today, Pollify Pro extends that idea with engagement blocks, like/dislike voting, NPS polls, and exportable reports.
Commandify grew from watching users jump across menus to complete basic tasks. Our goal with Commandify is to give WordPress a command palette that feels fast, predictable, and helpful for both beginners and power users. The new integrations reinforce that direction: an interface where everything you need is a few keystrokes away.
We are still a small team, but product quality is our priority. The roadmap for both plugins comes directly from user conversations, agency workflows we observe, and our own experience building WordPress sites for years.
Each release (whether it’s a quality-of-life improvement or a major integration) is meant to reduce the mental overhead of managing multiple plugins, settings, and screens.
As we continue expanding wpRigel’s product lineup, our focus remains the same: build tools that feel natural inside WordPress and give users more control without adding complexity.
