Biggest opportunity: Swap “page”, “menu” and “admin” for “admin area”, “admin cleanup” and “page views”. “page” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “admin area” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “menu” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “admin cleanup” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “admin” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “page views” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →2.5%
of downloads still active
At least 10K of 395.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,186 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 3 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

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.

What to do about it
- Swap “page”, “menu” and “admin” for “admin area”, “admin cleanup” and “page views”. “page” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “admin area” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “menu” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “admin cleanup” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “admin” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “page views” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “admin”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ Skylabb5mo ago
I thought this would be the second take on their CMS Tree Menu plugin which has not been update for a couple years. First, the nested menu cramped into the admin panel is useless. You need a dedicated screen to manage 100 pages of content many with long title. The CMS Tree Menu is a good solution so I wonder why it’s abandoned, and this plugin was created to replace it with better features? The sample screenshots showing the page tree manager screen can’t be found anywhere in the admin. This topic was modified 1 month ago by Skylabb.

The screenshots for this plugin show that you can access the tree of pages by going to a special page in the admin menu. But that is not what happens. Instead, this plugin adds a full list of all pages to the admin menu itself, under Pages. It’s too long, it’s a mess, and I can’t use it. I thought this would be a good replacement for the still-working-but-apparently-abandoned CMS Tree Page View, but it is not. I’ll be going back to that plugin instead.

Alleen de standaard wp pagina’s werden vervangen. Maar niet de Pods, terwijl andere plugins deze wel herkennen)

Always loved this plugin, thanks for creating it.

This is and always has been the first and only Admin Plugin I use, because it makes accessing Pages so much more user friendly! Thank you Ciprian (and thanks for reverting back from the changes recently).
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ njaknjak3.6y ago
This plugin <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>WAS</span> excellent. Instead of going to the page list, the menu flew out and you could select a page to edit, saving a step (and time). Now it defeats the original purpose as you have to go to a new page that shows the page list and click on it. Couldn’t you give us an option to keep it the old way or have both? I will be searching for something else now.

This plugin is awesome, since it adds the treeview to the flyout menu of each content type. Easy & fast access to everything. This topic was modified 3 years, 3 months ago by Thomas. Reason: update brought back the core functionality
