Highlighting the icon is a great idea though, so I’ll implement that. Thanks for the CSS snippet — I’ll build on it, as I’d like to take the different admin color schemes into account. I’ll let you know here once I’ve added it. * Thanks again for sharing your thoughts! 🙏😊 * Best regards, Helmut * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Peak Publisher] Standalone mode: redirect frontend to URL](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/standalone-mode-redirect-frontend-to-url/) * Plugin Author [Helmut Wandl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ehtmlu/) * (@ehtmlu) * [2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/standalone-mode-redirect-frontend-to-url/#post-18850023) * Hi Florian, * thanks for your suggestion, that’s a fantastic idea. I’ll include this in the next feature release. * Best regards, Helmut * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Peak Publisher] Standalone mode hides Dashboard > Updates](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/standalone-mode-hides-dashboard-updates/) * Plugin Author [Helmut Wandl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ehtmlu/) * (@ehtmlu) * [2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/standalone-mode-hides-dashboard-updates/#post-18850016) * Hi Florian, * Thanks for your feedback! My idea was that a linked icon is already displayed in the top left of the toolbar whenever any kind of update is available: * ![](https://i0.wp.com/i.postimg.cc/vBjrLBrv/Bildschirmfoto-2026-03-12-um-21-47- 16.png?ssl=1) * Because of this, I didn’t see any reason why the dashboard would be needed. Do you think the icon is sufficient? * I’ve also given it some thought and have a few ideas, and I’d be very interested in your opinion on them. * **Idea 1:** I could add a linked checkmark icon that appears when everything is up to date. This would clearly indicate that everything is up to date, and the update page would remain accessible. One (minor) drawback of this solution is that WordPress users aren’t familiar with such a checkmark icon and might wonder why it’s there. * ![](https://i0.wp.com/i.postimg.cc/XYVC5dMb/Bildschirmfoto-2026-03-12-um-22-41- 18.png?ssl=1) * **Idea 2:** Another solution would be to provide multiple settings for standalone mode, allowing users to re-enable things separately. * **Idea 3:** Another idea would be to simply reactivate the menu item and position it below Peak Publisher. By default, users would be taken directly to the Peak Publisher page, but the dashboard would still be accessible by clicking. * ![](https://i0.wp.com/i.postimg.cc/LsWYGWJC/Bildschirmfoto-2026-03-12-um-22-42- 17.png?ssl=1) * I hope I’m not asking you too much. I’d be very interested to hear your thoughts. * Thank you and best regards, Helmut - This reply was modified 2 months ago by [Helmut Wandl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ehtmlu/).
