Admin Collapse Subpages

Reviewers say it does one job well, collapsing and expanding long lists of subpages, and it's still working fine on recent WordPress versions for most of them, though one German review reports it not running on 5.5.3.

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 95% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 23 months ago; the previous band took 17 months to cross, which places it about 50% of the way through.

   Works without any issues for me in WordPress 6.4.4 I added some custom backend CSS (via the Code Snippets plugin) to style it with the eye/visibility icons and semi opaque descriptions for a more intuitive user-experience: add_action('admin_head', 'custom_admin_css'); function custom_admin_css() { echo '<style> /*-------/ Plugin: Admin Collapse Subpages /-------*/ body.wp-admin .column-primary .expand_link a:before {content: "\f530"; opacity: 0.85;} body.wp-admin .column-primary .expand_link a.minus:before {content: "\f177"; opacity: 0.3;} body.wp-admin .column-primary .expand_link a:after { content: "Subpages hidden"; position: absolute; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 10px; height: 12px; opacity: 0.85; margin: 3px 0 0 5px;} body.wp-admin .column-primary .expand_link a.minus:after {content: "Click to hide subpages"; opacity: 0.3;} body.wp-admin .column-primary .expand_link a:hover:before,body.wp-admin .column-primary .expand_link a:hover:after {opacity: 1;} body.wp-admin .column-primary .expand_link a.minus:hover:before,body.wp-admin .column-primary .expand_link a.minus:hover:after {opacity: 0.6;} </style>'; }

   I’m using this plugin and it’s a godsend. Just install and view your Pages section in your backend Administration area. You can expand/collapse all, or click on individual page headings and the usual menu of all the sub-pages below expand. I’m using v6.0 +1

   It’s even better in combination with Simple Page Ordering, and works fine, despite both plugins acting on the same interface. Thank you 🙂
