Introducing Charitable command center integration

Speed Up Your Workflow with The WordPress Command Palette Integration

Last updated on

  • By

We’re excited to spotlight a small but game-changing update in Charitable: full integration with WordPress 6.9’s new Command Palette!

If you’re a keyboard warrior managing donations, campaigns, and reports, this lets you jump to Charitable screens in seconds—no mouse required. It’s built right into WordPress core, and Charitable Pro now adds our most-used actions for lightning-fast navigation.

Available today in the latest Charitable Pro 1.8.11.5+ (requires WordPress 6.9+).

Skip the Menu Navigation, Get Things Done Faster

How many times do you click through WordPress admin menus to create a new campaign or check your latest donations? With Command Palette integration, you can skip the menu and find what you need with keyboard shortcuts.

To open the Command Palette, press Cmd + K on Mac or Ctrl + K on Windows. Then type something like ‘pages’. You’ll see a list of options that you can choose from. Select the one you want and hit Enter to go straight there.

This makes it much faster and easier to navigate through your WordPress admin panel.

At Charitable, we’ve hopped on board, too!

We’ve integrated Charitable options into this Command Palette.

So now, instead of navigating to the menu with your mouse, you can hit Cmd + K on Mac or Ctrl + K on Windows.

Type ‘charitable’ and you’ll see options like ‘Create New Donation’ or your dashboard.

The best way to learn about this new feature is by watching it in action. I’ve made a video for you here:

Here are a few tips for you.

  • Fuzzy search works!: You don’t have to type in the perfect spelling needed. Type “Dontae” and you’ll see Charitable donation options.
  • Universal access: Works from any WordPress screen, not just Charitable.
  • No mouse needed: Use the down arrow to select, hit Enter. That’s it.
  • Quick Charitable access: Cmd/Ctrl+K then @ (Shift+2) shows our commands instantly

Built for Your Team’s Workflow

Different team members need different access levels. Command Palette integration respects your existing WordPress permissions, so staff members only see the commands they’re authorized to use.

  • Volunteer coordinators can create campaigns but not access reports
  • Finance team members get full access to donations and reporting
  • Administrators see every available command
