A more intuitive way to manage pages and content structure in the WordPress admin

Nested Pages for WordPress

Nested Pages provides an intuitive drag and drop interface for managing pages & posts in the WordPress admin, while maintaining quick edit functionality.

For installation and usage information visit nestedpages.com. Available for download/installation in the WordPress Plugin Directory.

Compatibility

Nested Pages requires PHP v5.3.2+ and WordPress v3.8+.

Why PHP 5.3.2+?: Nested Pages takes advantage of Composer, specifically its PSR-4 auto-loading component. Because of this, the minimum version of PHP supported is 5.3.2.

Why WordPress 3.8+?: Nested Pages depends on admin theme changes introduced in WordPress 3.8.

Description

Nested Pages offers

• A drag and drop interface - simple and intuitive
• Quick edit functionality
• An expandable, sortable tree view of your site's page structure
• A native WordPress menu, automatically generated to match your Nested Pages screen
• A way to quickly add child pages (ideal for development)
• A touch-friendly interface

Installation

The latest release of this plugin is available through the WordPress Plugin Directory.

If installing from this repository, composer must be run before attempting to activate within WordPress:

1. cd into the primary plugin directory
2. Run composer install

Attribution

This plugin wouldn't be possible without the Nested Sortable jQuery Plugin. It also makes use of the jQuery UI Touch Punch plugin for touch support.

wp-nested-pages's Issues

Localization

Add text domain for localization

Verify Page post type before activation

See issue here:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-notices-35?replies=2

Additional menu link options

Need option to add other content types to menu tree: CPTs, Categories, etc…

Basically need to replicate the WP Menu capabilities.

Possible UI solution: Change "Add Link" to "Add menu item", add a tab in the modal for "Existing Content". Under that tab, include a select dropdown for the content type (Post types, categories, etc…). Pull up a list of content based on select menu choice.

Front end site

Need front end site to show features. Link back to github, update plugin site

WP Conventions

Convert paths/files/etc to WP plugin conventions in prep for plugin repo submission

Page meta menu sync

Need to sync menus when editing pages if fields are passed through

Date Field

Look at options for replacing date fields with date picker / time picker.

Nav menu title and class

Add fields for generated nav menu items' title attribute and css class attribute. Users may need this functionality, and changed in menu will be overwritten.

Add languages folder

Menu item aren't open when adding a new page

When I use this plugin the menu item "page" and the sub menu item "add new" isn't active and the "page" menu item is folded.

"Skapa ny sida" is "Add new page" and "Sidor" is "Pages" in the images.

This is how it is when the plugin is active:

This is how it is when the plugin is deactivated:

Status update

Need to add relevant publish class to row when updating status in quick edit. Currently requires page refresh to toggle between "published" and "all"

Page slug view/edit

See suggestion here:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/support-for-parent-page?replies=2

Option to hide in Nested Pages

Add option to not display page in nested pages (for pages like login, terms, etc… that users may not want shown).

Add page meta / form checkbox, alter recursive method to perform meta query, add custom meta to page form to reshow. Maybe have "hidden pages" toggle to turn back on?

Add option to hide default pages

Translated strings

Doubke check all strings fir proper localization. See thread on wp support.

Test with buddypress and bbpress

Sync Menu Contextual Help

RE: Barb's feedback. Provide contextual help on sync functionality. Need to give quick overview of what it is, how it generates the menu, how to add theme-specific styles back in if required.

Custom Page Fields

Add fields for menu title, hide in menu, hide from nested pages

Trash Redirect

See issue here:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fyi-after-trashing-a-page-user-is-redirected-to-non-nested-page

Test with wpml

Add filter to main page listing

See Luis' support request – makes sense to make the query filterable.

Nested pages overriding menus

See thread on wp support started by dave

Dynamic Menu Name

See suggestion here:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-name-for-synced-menu?replies=2#post-6201266

Create setting to give the menu a custom name.

Possible solution:

1. Add method in activation class to grab the setting (default to nestedpages)
2. Add parameter NP_NavMenu constructor, that sets name property.
3. Update setID method to use the name parameter (rather than the hard-coded 'nestedpages' string)
4. Add settings page with field for menu name (can probably add sync menu setting here as well)

Update row data after quick edit

Update title text, data attributes for edited row.

Yoast indicators

Add yoast color indicators if installed.

Menu Title

Need to add menu title functionality: save in quick edit, on post edit screen

Link updated notification

provide notification that link was deleted

Status bug

Wp query in pagelisting class needs to be updated to include additional statuses

Create POT file for localization

Add Child

Build add child functionality

Trash Functionality

Role based hiding

See suggestion here:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hide-in-nested-pages-feature-suggestion?replies=2#post-6188883

1. Add a check list if "hide" is selected, populated with user roles, all are chosen by default
2. Only admins can hide from NP
3. If logged in as level lower than admin, and pages are hidden from you, those are not loaded in NP interface (to prevent them from being shown when clicking "show/hide"

Validate for empty titles

Hidden

Add "hidden from nav" option for each page in prep for menus

User Groups

Create test users for each group and tweak functionality based on permissions

Taxonomies

Add taxonomies to quick edit?

Remove page-meta class

Verify not being used anymore.

Test with wpmu

Save expanded/collapsed states

Save expanded / collapsed states in session

Redirect page

Add option to add redirect page. Same as "url" option in menu. Way for user to add custom linked item to the generated nav menu. Need a short, decriptive name. Will need global "add new redirect" for top level items, and "add child redirect" for existing pages. Might need to add post type for this.

Status Filter

Add filtering by status (all/published/trash)

Add menu sync

Remove auto sync from sorting and quick edit, add manual sync button

Locked Post

Add in "Currently editing" UI/alerts

Help Tab

Possibly add help tab explaining drag and drop, and how to get to default listing.

Quick Edit Append

Quick edit forms on items with child lists are currently appended below the child list. Need to look for child list and if there is one, append above it.

Child Page Notification

child page notification is showing up twice

Post Type Menu Items

Look into adding content links for adding post types. Similar to hierarchy plugin.

New Page - Menu Sync

Need to find a way to sync menu after a new page is created.

To recreate issue:

Click add child in nested pages
Save the page
Visit front end of site – page is added, but menu not auto-synced.

Modal style conflict

Add prefix to all modal styles – conflicting with other plugins

Trash Functionality

Add trash functionality.
