Nested Pages

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

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. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

   This plugin is great at helping me organize my pages in a hierarchical fashion. But one thing is missing. The publication date of the pages. I would like to sort the sub-pages by the pub date and I have to refer to the default pages to see it. If you could add that, it would be 5 starts.

   I tried using the Nested Pages to clean up the management of my pages a bit. I didn’t realize it was going to change the links of literally all my pages, break my Ultimate Member plugin, and overall just cause absolute chaos. And disabling the plugin doesn’t revert these changes. Very disappointing. Nice UI, but you have a complicated site with sensitive linking, this is scary.

   I do like this plugin, although it misses pagination. But the main reason that I cannot use it, is that I have organized my menu with #admin-menu-editor. And nested-pages really cannot work with it. I posted an issue about this in github weeks ago…. but it not very active there :-(. If it would just generate the links well even with another menu-editor, I would give it at least 4 stars. 5 stars when pagination is added.

   Great little plugin. Brought my page management list down from 5 pages to just one, by using submenus. I highly recommend. I am not a power user, so a plugin that is simple to install, simple to understand, and that does exactly what is needed gets my 5 stars (6 if I could give them actually).

   I have a wordpress with hundreds of pages and subpages. So much better than vanilla page listing

   Does exactly what it says and is 1000x better than the original wordpress page manage. PLUS the plugin is free, what else could you ask for?? This topic was modified 2 years ago by ckrauter.

   Nice tool, however, it disrupted my page slugs (404 errors) when associated with copies and clones in particular, and then other pages. I removed the copy/clone plugins first, no joy. When I removed the Nested Pages plugin all my slugs started working again. There’s some evidence this could have been associated with the clone plugins, however, the 404s occurred also with pages that I had organized with Nested Pages and were not associated with copies.

   ✅ Nesting/ordering is way faster than with the core UI ✅ ✅ Enables a completely different publishing workflow than possible with core: One can create pages in bulk as drafts and create a corresponding menu structure for those unpublished pages. One can “sketch out how the website eventually shall be” and then gradually fill up content, and when publishing multiple pages at once (via Bulk Edit), they will have their prepared menu position right at publication. Great workflow improvement! ❌ ❌ No reaction in support forums to any user bug reports, proposal since 2022-11. Seems abandoned or on very low maintenance. Newest reaction to any user comment that I could find was from 2022-11-03. This topic was modified 2 years, 11 months ago by abitofmind. This topic was modified 2 years, 11 months ago by abitofmind.
