Uplink Unified Ops Center adds a focused operations panel to the WordPress admin bar. It brings content, media, templates, patterns, site architecture, installed plugins, builder resources, and administrator-defined quick links into one searchable interface.
The plugin works with WordPress on its own and adapts when Bricks or Etch is active. Builder-aware actions open the most useful editor for the current environment while keeping direct WordPress editing and viewing links available.
Instead of replacing WordPress screens or builder features, Ops Center provides a consistent navigation layer over them. Administrators decide which sections appear, which content types are included, which roles may use the panel, and whether users may personalize its appearance.
Better performance by default in 1.5.0
Ops Center now loads each inventory when you open its section instead of building every list when the panel opens. Content and Media load 50 items per page by default. This reduces panel-opening work and memory use on sites with large libraries. Search, total counts, and page navigation remain available. Administrators can choose 10, 25, 50, 75, or 100 items per page, load a selected section in full, or restore the earlier load-everything behavior under Content Type Menus > Panel inventory loading.
