Sub Page Hierarchy Widget

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

Ranked about #13,300 to #16,400, alongside the other plugins at 100+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 21 Oct 2026.

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 · 100% 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 3.2 years ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 50% of the way through.

   This is the only plugin that I have found that displays the sub-pages of a specific parent page and displays it on any pages. The only problem is that it isn’t fully compatible with WordPress 3.9.1. It uses a WordPress core function that has been deprecated called ‘wp_get_sidebars_widgets();’ The only work around is to edit the plugin’s PHP file and comment out the whole function on line 102. BUT… You have to set up the widget and it’s settings in the Widgets page before commenting out the line, or else it won’t display your sub-pages at all. Mr. Tod, Is there an easy way to fix this small problem? I understand what you need to do, but I am not a web programmer. Other than that, this plugin works well!

   The widget is simple to understand and execute, but I can’t seem to put it on more than one page, unless I’m misunderstanding it. It seems the widget can be used only once?
