Navigation, Search and Quick Actions in Commandify
Commandify improves how you move around and navigate WordPress.
Instead of clicking through long menus or switching between multiple pages, you can use the command palette to jump directly to what you need.
This guide explains how navigation works, how to search your content, and how to run quick actions that save time.
Navigate WordPress With a Single Command #
WordPress grows more complex as you add plugins, custom post types, and WooCommerce. Commandify keeps everything easy to reach.
When you open the palette and type a few letters, it matches menu items, settings screens, and tools across your entire dashboard.
This includes:
- Core WordPress screens
- Submenu items
- Plugin-generated menus
- Theme and builder menus
- CPTs such as Products, Events, Courses, or Portfolios

Commandify mirrors the full admin structure so you never wonder where a screen is located. If you know what you want to open, you can reach it instantly.
Jump Between Screens Faster #
The palette replaces long navigational sequences with one action. For example:
- Type “Plugins” to open the plugins page
- Type “Add New Post” to begin writing
- Type “Media Library” to browse uploads
- Type “Users” to manage accounts
This workflow helps you stay focused. You don’t stop to search through menus or scroll through sidebars. The palette brings the screen to you.
Search Your Content With Helpful Context #
Commandify turns content search into a smooth workflow. When you search for a post, page, product, or media file, results include useful details:
- Status
- Publish date
- Author
- Type (post, page, product)


You can understand each item at a glance. This makes it easy to find the right content even on large sites.
Commandify also supports direct actions from the search results. After selecting an item, you can:
- Edit it
- View it
- Preview it
- Move it to trash

These shortcuts help writers, editors, store managers, and admins work more efficiently.
Search Across All Content Types #
Commandify doesn’t limit search to posts and pages. It includes every registered post type. This means you can search:
- Blog posts
- Pages
- Products
- Media files
- LMS lessons
- Portfolios
- Events
- Downloads
- Any custom post type created by plugins
The palette becomes a centralized search bar for your entire site.

Run Quick Actions Without Leaving the Palette #
Quick actions help you handle basic maintenance tasks in a single step. Instead of navigating to individual settings pages, you can run them directly from the palette.
These actions include:
- Clearing caches (when available)
- Emptying the trash
- Checking available updates
- Opening update pages

Commandify confirms each action with a small toast message so you know it ran successfully.
These small workflows improve everyday productivity and reduce unnecessary navigation.
Discover What a Single Search Can Do #
The palette recognizes both items and actions.
When you type something generic like “cache,” “trash,” “update,” or “plugin,” Commandify offers a list of related actions. This helps new users learn what the palette can do without diving into menus.
As you continue using the palette, these patterns become second nature. The more you type, the faster you work.
Combine Navigation, Search, and Actions #
Commandify becomes most powerful when you combine navigation and actions together. For example:
- Start editing a page
- Open the palette
- Search media
- Insert an image
- Switch themes
- Empty the trash
- Jump to WooCommerce orders

You never leave your keyboard. You never break your workflow. The palette keeps everything within reach.
Tips for Working More Efficiently #
A few habits make your workflow even smoother:
- Use short keywords instead of full names
- Try navigating your entire dashboard using only the palette
- Learn the action names you use most often
- Keep your palette clean by hiding unused commands
Commandify adapts to your habits over time, so navigation feels natural.
