We have taken back our favorite page ordering plugin

Back in 2010, I built CMS Tree Page View – a plugin that shows your pages as a tree in wp-admin instead of a flat list. You can see the whole structure of your site at a glance, and drag and drop to reorder pages or nest them as children of others. Still one of my favorite little tools.

A few years ago I didn’t have the time or energy to keep maintaining it, so when another developer kindly offered to take over, I let him.

Now, a few years later, the energy is back. I’ve taken over development again, together with the team here at Simple History.

The plan is to modernize the interface and update some genuinely old JavaScript – some of these libraries haven’t been touched in years. And as we all get a bit older, we’re also going to make the interface work better with a keyboard, so you don’t need pixel-perfect mouse aim to use it.

Stay tuned!

Pst. Yes, we’ll of course add Simple History support for it 😉

You can already grab CMS Tree Page View from the WordPress.org plugin directory – we’ll post here again once the redesign ships.
