We’re thrilled to announce the release of uiXpress 1.2, a significant update that brings two powerful new features and substantial improvements across the entire platform. This release represents our continued commitment to transforming the WordPress admin experience into something modern, intuitive, and truly powerful.
What’s New in 1.2
🎨 Brand New: Modern Media Library
The WordPress media library has long been one of the most frustrating parts of the admin experience. With uiXpress 1.2, we’ve completely rebuilt it from the ground up with a focus on speed, organization, and ease of use.
Key Features:
- Dual View Modes: Seamlessly switch between a visual grid view for quick browsing and a detailed list view for managing large libraries
- Advanced Filtering: Filter by media type (images, videos, documents), date ranges, custom tags, and even find unused files
- Powerful Search: Real-time search across titles, filenames, and metadata with instant results
- Bulk Operations: Select multiple files and perform bulk edits, duplicates, downloads, or deletions with ease
- Media Tagging System: Organize your media with custom tags and filter by them instantly
- Built-in Image Editor: Crop, rotate, resize, and apply adjustments without leaving the admin
- Image Optimization: One-click optimization with compression statistics and WebP conversion support
- Media Replacement: Replace files while maintaining all relationships and metadata
- Usage Tracking: See exactly where each media file is being used across your site
The new Media Library is built with Vue.js 3 and features a beautiful dark mode interface that matches the rest of uiXpress. Whether you’re managing a handful of images or thousands of files, the experience is fast, intuitive, and powerful.
📊 Brand New: Dashboard with Built-in Analytics
Say goodbye to the cluttered default WordPress dashboard. uiXpress 1.2 introduces a completely redesigned dashboard experience with powerful built-in analytics that give you real insights into your site’s performance.
Key Features:
- Card-Based System: Modular, customizable dashboard cards that you can organize and configure
- Real-Time Analytics: Track page views, unique visitors, device usage, geographic data, and referrer sources
- Date Range Filtering: Analyze any time period with predefined ranges (7 days, 30 days, month, year) or custom date selection
- Content Management Insights: View recent posts, scheduled content, comments, and user activity at a glance
- System Health Monitoring: Keep an eye on server health, PHP and WordPress versions, memory usage, and update notifications
- Category Organization: Organize cards into logical categories (Overview, Analytics) with tab-based navigation
- Extensible Architecture: Developers can easily create custom cards using our hook-based system
The analytics dashboard provides actionable insights without overwhelming you with data. Every metric is presented in a clean, visual format that makes it easy to understand your site’s performance at a glance.
