CMS Tree Page View – Reorder Pages with a Drag-and-Drop Tree

Description

Your whole site, laid out as one clear tree. Drag a page to move it, click to edit, and shape your structure in seconds.

See the tree in action:

CMS Tree Page View gives WordPress the page overview it’s always been missing: one friendly tree of every page and post, so you can finally see how your site fits together — and rearrange it just by dragging.

No more clicking through endless paginated lists. Everything’s in front of you: drag a page to reorder or renest it, and edit, add or search right where you are. Setting up a brand-new site? Add a whole batch of pages at once.

Loved by editors, agencies and anyone who looks after a content-heavy site — and actively maintained again by its original author, in use since 2010 and translated into more than 20 languages.

If you also run Simple History — my free activity-log plugin — the tree shows recent changes as you go: pick any page to see its history, or glance at the latest edits across your whole site, without leaving the screen.

Why you’ll like it

• See your whole site in one place. Every page, and exactly how it’s nested, in a single tree.
• Rearrange by dragging. Move a page up, down, or into another page just by dragging it — the order sticks, and your theme can use it too.
• Do everything without leaving the tree. Edit, view, add and search your pages right where you see them.
• Not just pages. Turn on the tree for posts, products or any content type — and drag an item from one tree into another to change what kind of thing it is.

What’s in the tree

• A clear, visual tree of your pages and posts — like folders in Finder or File Explorer
• Drag and drop to reorder and renest
• Drag a brand-new page straight into the tree to create it exactly where it belongs
• Add a page after or inside another — or a whole batch at once
• Edit or view any page straight from its row: hover a page and the icons appear, or press “e” or “v”
• See a live preview of any page right beside the tree, without opening it
• Search the whole tree without leaving the screen
• Full keyboard navigation, so your hands can stay on the keys
• A tree right on your dashboard, ready the moment you log in
• See who moved, edited or added a page, right beside the tree, plus a history icon on every row — when the free Simple History plugin is installed
• Works with pages, posts, products and any custom content type — hierarchical or not

Showing this order on your site

The plugin stores the order you set as WordPress’ “menu order”. It does not change how your
theme outputs your pages — to show them on the front end in the tree order, the query that
outputs them must sort by menu_order. See the FAQ below for ready-to-use code examples.

Translations/Languages

Available in 20+ languages, including German, French, Spanish, Russian, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Swedish, Greek, Finnish and Japanese.

Always show your pages in the admin area

If you want to always have a list of your pages available in your WordPress admin area, please check out the plugin

Donation and more plugins

• These two plugins work nicely together: install my free Simple History plugin and the tree will show you who recently moved, edited or added each page. On its own, Simple History is a complete activity log for your admin — logins (both failed and successful), post and page edits, plugin updates, user changes and more — so you can always see what happened on your site, and when.
• Using my Simple SEO plugin? The page card in the tree shows each page’s SEO title and description.
• If you like this plugin don’t forget to donate to support further development.
