I’ve Released CMD Starter, a Command Palette Starter Plugin
After writing a tutorial on creating custom commands and a guide on managing the command palette in WP 6.9, I began considering writing a tutorial on creating a few more custom commands. Time being short, however, I decided to release a starter plugin, so that others can easily begin adding more commands to the WordPress Command Palette using this one as a base.

AGPL-3.0
A WordPress plugin for starting a command palette plugin.
The plugin features two commands (three if you’re on Multisite):
- Flush permalinks
- Clear cache
- Enable plugin administration menus (Multisite only)
Here’s a quick video of it in action.
Plugin Starter Features
The plugin loads the command palette:
- In the block editor
- In the site admin
- In the network admin (if on multisite)
- On the frontend
It features four distinct scripts per location, allowing you to quickly add commands and determine which location you’d like to run them in.
As mentioned earlier, the plugin is on GitHub. Feel free to star, fork, and steal the name (the domain isn’t taken). I’d love for someone to take this and turn it into their own full-fledged command palette utility plugin. Alternatively, if you’re planning to introduce your own commands, you can adapt this to your plugin by drawing on code examples from the GitHub repo.
