What the author says it does

  • Page-list
  • all Page-list params
  • Donate
  • GitHub

shortcodes:

  • [pagelist] – hierarchical tree of all pages on site (useful to show sitemap of the site);
  • [subpages] – hierarchical tree of subpages to the current page;
  • [siblings] – hierarchical tree of sibling pages to the current page;
  • [pagelist_ext] – list of pages with featured image and with excerpt;

examples with aditional parameters:

  • [pagelist child_of="4" depth="2" exclude="6,7,8"]
  • [pagelist_ext child_of="4" exclude="6,7,8" image_width="50" image_height="50"]
  • all Page-list params

Parameters for [pagelist], [subpages] and [siblings]:

  • [pagelist] – list of all pages as the hierarchical list;
  • [subpages] – list of subpages to the current page as the hierarchical list; Same as: [pagelist child_of="current"];
  • [siblings] – list of sibling pages to the current page as the hierarchical list; Same as: [pagelist child_of="parent"];
  • depth – how many levels in the hierarchy of pages are to be included in the list: [pagelist depth="3"]; by default depth is unlimited (depth=”0″); Displays pages at any depth and arranges them in a flat list: [pagelist depth="-1"];
  • child_of – displays the sub-pages of a single Page by ID: [pagelist child_of="4"];

The opening of the plugin's own description. The full text, installation notes and changelog are on its WordPress.org page.

Questions the author answers

How to show the list of posts?

To show list of posts you can use List Category Posts plugin.

On what functions shortcodes are based?

Shortcodes [pagelist], [subpages], [siblings] are based on wp_list_pages() function.

Shortcode [pagelist_ext] is based on get_pages() function.

What is the difference between [pagelist], [subpages] and [siblings]?

Shortcodes [pagelist], [subpages] and [siblings] accept the same parameters. The only difference is that [subpages] and [siblings] not accept child_of parameter, because [subpages] shows subpages to the current page and [siblings] shows subpages to the parent page.

How to create sitemap.xml?

To create sitemap.xml you can use Google XML Sitemaps plugin.

Is there “more-link” feature in the plugin?

No, there is no “more-link” feature in the plugin. Because “more-link“:

  • bad for SEO. Nobody will search your site with the word “more”. “rel=nofollow” will not solve it too.
  • bad for usability. There is already link on title and “more-link” is an extra no needed element on page. If user cannot understand that the title is the link, than there is a problem in css styles and not in plugin’s templates.
What to do if you need to change the plugin’s code?

When you changed the plugin’s code you should also change the plugin’s version to ‘100’ (for example) to avoid updates, which could override and delete your code.

Latest changelog entry

6.3

  • Removed post_status parameter from shortcodes and restricted meta key output to harden against unauthorized content disclosure

Where this page's numbers come from

Read from the WordPress.org plugin API on , when WordPress 7.1.4 was the current release. WordPress.org rounds active installs into buckets. These are the directory's figures, not my verdict, and I haven't tested this plugin. The author takes donations at their donate page.
