ExpressionEngine 6

A New Era

Download Now!

Beauty Meets Function

Welcome to a completely reimagined control panel. But the beauty isn't just skin deep. The user experience is better than ever; more intuitive, faster, and more fun!

The Mission: Refine and Simplify

When we embarked on the goal of reimagining the EE6 control panel, we looked at each component and asked how we can make it not just better, but better than any other CMS on the market. Then we did.

Today

Sometimes you smack your head wondering what took so long to add such a simple feature... The improved date picker now has a today button.

Better Grid

The grid field is now responsive on mobile. Away with you scrollbars!

Better Navigation

We reduced the number of steps needed to navigate the control panel. Fewer steps. More productivity.

Query Form Snippets

Quickly insert commonly used SQL snippets into the query form

Resize Live Preview

Drag the divider in live preview to change the size of the preview display

And More!

We made hundreds of small improvements that make the control panel a joy to use.

All New File Manager

View your files with the new beautiful thumbnail view, then edit and preview a file's information with one click.

A Refined Experience

The heart of a CMS is to manage content, and the tools should never get in the way of your creative output.

Our goal was to make your experience as satisfying as possible. We improved the relationship field, fluid field design, and ensured the save buttons are sticky, so you never have to scroll up to save.

Member Roles.
Heck Yeah!

Advanced permissions couldn't be more simple. Instead of a single member group, each member can now be assigned to multiple member roles.

Jump Menu. Can You Say Power User?

The jump menu lets you navigate ExpressionEngine at lightning speed with a single shortcut. Go to any page, any setting, find entries in a specific channel, or set your color theme in a matter of keystrokes.

Jump Menu

Color Picker Fieldtype

Pick a color with the brand new color picker! Choose any color, or limit the selection to a specific set of swatches.

Member Form Tags

Member templates be gone! Use the all-new member tags to create profile and account settings forms and more!

{exp:member:member_search}
    {form_declaration}
        <input type="text" name="search_keywords_1" />
        <select name="search_field_1" class="select" >
            <option value="screen_name">Search Field</option>
            <option value="screen_name">Screen Name</option>
            <option value="email">Email Address</option>
            {custom_profile_field_options}
        </select>

        <select name="search_group_id" class="select" >
            {group_id_options}
        </select>

        <div class="itempadbig">&nbsp; <input type="submit" value="search" class="submit" /></div>
    </form>
{/exp:member:member_search}
