The Breakdance QuickNav plugin adds a quick-access navigator to the WordPress Admin Bar (Toolbar). It allows easy access to Breakdance Builder Templates, Headers, Footers, Global Blocks, Popups, and (regular WordPress) Pages edited with Breakdance, along with other essential settings.
- Breakdance: 2.3.0+ / 2.4.1 Beta
- Headspin Copilot: 1.4.1
- WPSix Exporter: 1.0.8
- Yabe Webfont 1.0.70 / 2.0.70
- WordPress: 6.7.2
- PHP: 8.3+
Note: This plugin was originally developed by Peter Kulcsár under the name "Breakdance Navigator". Since it is licensed GPL v2 or later, I decided to fork it to add some more/other links and tweak some things. – If you like the original version, fine! Use it and support the original author!

What Does "Breakdance QuickNav" Different than "Breakdance Navigator"?
Therefore the default capability to see the new Admin Bar node is set to activate_plugins. You can change this via the constant BDQN_VIEW_CAPABILITY – define that via wp-config.php or via a Code Snippet plugin: define( 'BDQN_VIEW_CAPABILITY', 'edit_posts' );
This is way shorter than "Breakdance Nav" and takes much less of the precious space there. However, if you don't enjoy "BD" you can tweak that also via the constant BDQN_NAME_IN_ADMINBAR – define that also via wp-config.php or via a Code Snippet plugin: define( 'BDQN_NAME_IN_ADMINBAR', 'BD Nav' );
The yellow default logo icon is awesome but a bit too yellow-ish for my taste – at least within the Admin Bar. Therefore I pull in the builder icon intended for dark mode (light logo on dark background). If that is not there for whatever reason it pulls in Peter's yellow icon (in local plugin folder). You can also tweak that via a constant in wp-config.php oder via a Code Snippets plugin: define( 'BDQN_ICON', 'yellow' );
The supported plugins are increased compared to Peters original plugin. The "WPSix Exporter" is now supported by default. All supported plugins are checked if they are active or not. Please note: I will ONLY add support for direct Breakdance add-on plugins. And I can only add support if I would own a license myself (for testing etc.). Therefore if there might be Breakdance plugins you want me to add integration for, please open an issue on the plugin page on GitHub so we might discuss that. (Thanks in advance!)
To disable these menu items, just use another constant in wp-config.php or via a Code Snippets plugin: define( 'BDQN_DISABLE_FOOTER', 'yes' );
I carefully updated the links from the Breakdance community, including plugin/ library/ tutorial sites.
a) There is another check for Breakdance plugin itself: if no Breakdance active then the whole Admin Bar addition is NOT loaded and displayed. Makes sense. b) If for whatever reason you have already "Breakdance Navigator" installed and ACTIVATED, my plugin (Breakdance QuickNav) will not display anything (even if activated). So it makes sense you decide for one or the other ... 🙂
If you find this project helpful, consider showing your support by buying me a coffee! Your contribution helps me keep developing and improving this plugin.
Enjoying the plugin? Feel free to treat me to a cup of coffee ☕🙂 through the following options:
Quick Install
- Download breakdance-quicknav.zip
- Upload via WordPress Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin
- Once activated, you’ll see the BD menu item in the Admin Bar.
- Pages, Templates, Headers, Footers, Global Blocks, Popups: Displays up to 10 items, ordered by the last modified date (descending). The "Pages" menu only shows pages built with Breakdance by checking the
_breakdance_datacustom field. - Form Submissions, Design Library, Settings: Direct links to relevant sections.
- Additional Links: Includes links to resources like the Breakdance website and Facebook group. Some may contain affiliate links.
- About: Includes links to the plugin author.
- Initial release
- Note: Forked from "Breakdance Navigator" v1.0.1 by Peter Kulcsár (licensed GPL v2 or later)
- Added support for "Breakdanke Migration" plugin (official add-on)
- Added support for "Yabe Webfont" plugin (third-party; free & Pro version!)
- Added support for "WPSix Exporter" plugin (third-party)
- Improved support for "Breakdance AI Assistant" (official add-on)
This plugin comes as is. I have no intention to add support for every little detail / third-party plugin / library etc. Its main focus is support for the template types and Breakdance settings. Plugin support is added where it makes sense for the daily work of an Administrator and Site Builder.
Disclaimer 1: So far I will support the plugin for breaking errors to keep it working. Otherwise support will be very limited. Also, it will NEVER be released to WordPress.org Plugin Repository for a lot of reasons.
Disclaimer 2: All of the above might change. I do all this stuff only in my spare time.
Most of all: Have fun building great Breakdance powered sites!!! ;-)
