Swiss Knife Bricks 1.1.1

Swiss Knife Bricks (by dPlugins) is a workflow-enhancement plugin for the Bricks Builder on WordPress.1 While other plugins add new "widgets" or "elements," Swiss Knife focuses on making the actual process of building faster and more powerful for developers.2

Think of it as an "OS upgrade" for your Bricks editor interface.

Key Features for 2026

Convert HTML to Bricks: This is the plugin's "killer feature."3 You can copy raw HTML code from any source (like a UI library or even another website) and paste it directly into the Bricks editor.4 The plugin automatically converts that code into native Bricks elements.5

Scripts Manager: A centralized dashboard to register and enqueue CSS frameworks (like Tailwind or Bootstrap) and JavaScript libraries (like GSAP) via CDN or self-hosting.6

Multi-Select & Multi-Edit: This allows you to select multiple elements in the structure panel simultaneously and apply CSS classes or styling changes to all of them at once.7

Plain Classes System: It allows you to write classes manually in a text-based input rather than using the standard Bricks UI, which is significantly faster for developers who already know their utility class names (e.g., from ACSS or Core Framework).8

Advanced Code Editor: It adds a high-quality code editor with Emmet support inside the Bricks builder, making it much easier to write custom CSS or HTML without leaving the page.9

Workflow Tweaks: Includes a "Dark Mode" for the builder, a "Faster Top Bar" for navigation, and the ability to lock classes to prevent accidental edits.10
