This is a fluid document for now, which can and will change over time, but gives a great indication of what’s coming!
Completed
Complete Code Rewrite
Rebuilt from the ground up for maintainability and long-term growth.
Bricks 2.0-alpha Compatibility
Fully tested with Bricks 2.0-alpha — no issues reported.
WP-CLI Support
Manage sync operations from the command line for scripting and automation.
Near-Term (Post-Launch Priorities)
Multisite Compatibility
Seamless syncing across subsites within a multisite network (imagine a Bricks powered master theme, usable by multiple subsites!)
Direct Template Transfers
Send and receive templates directly between WordPress sites without manual export/import.
Bricks Components Support
Add support for Bricks Components.
Webhook Support
Trigger actions via webhooks when sync operations occur (e.g., notify Slack or CI/CD).
Improved Logs & Sync History
Track when syncs occurred, what was synced, and any issues encountered.
Host+Client Mode / Remote Control
Lock down Bricks admin on client sites and sync from a “master” control panel.
Hidden/White-label Mode
Option to hide BricksSync from non-admins or rebrand it for agency use.
Planned Enhancements
Advanced Sync Rules
Define which templates/settings sync, by type, tag, or name.
Sync Profiles
Save and reuse configurations (e.g., “Local to Staging”, “Client Live Backup”).
Global Exclusions
Prevent certain templates or settings from being synced accidentally.
Scheduled Syncs
Define specific times for syncs (e.g., nightly at 2AM).
Staging Awareness
Built-in logic to treat staging/live/local environments differently.
Notification System
Send admin emails or dashboard alerts when syncs fail or succeed.
Rollback Support
Keep previous versions of templates/settings and allow rollbacks.
Third-party & Ecosystem Integration Ideas
ACF & MetaBox Syncing
Optional syncing of custom field groups alongside templates.
WPML/Polylang Compatibility
Handle multilingual template variations during sync.
GitHub / GitLab Integration
Push/pull sync data directly from repos, ideal for headless or CI/CD setups.
Remote JSON Storage (S3, FTP, REST API)
Support for external paths or APIs to avoid file access constraints.
Long-term / Experimental Ideas
Cloud Dashboard (BricksSync Cloud)
A hosted dashboard to manage and monitor all connected sites from one place.
Live Template Preview from Remote Site
View and import templates with a live preview, fetched remotely.
Template Marketplace Integration
Directly import from public or private marketplaces.
Role-based Access Control
Let developers control who can run syncs, configure settings, or import data.
Deployment Hooks
Trigger syncs as part of WordPress deployment pipelines (WP Engine, Kinsta, etc.).
REST API Template Sync Endpoints
Expose BricksSync via REST for custom integration and dashboarding.
