F4 Post Tree

Description

F4 Post Tree adds a neat and easy to use sidebar tree view to your posts and/or pages backend.

Once activated, your posts/pages will be displayed hierarchically in the tree sidebar.

The sidebar appears on every post related page in WordPress, so you don’t have to leave your current page to manage or sort the posts/pages.

For every post status there is a icon color, so you can see if a post/page is published, draft or planned.

You can also see if someone else is currently editing a post. In this case a small lock-icon appears in the tree.

This Plugin is currently not compatible with Multisites. This feature will be added in the near future.

Usage

This plugin works out-of-the-box. By default, the tree will be displayed for both pages and posts. You can enable/disable the tree for both individually on the settings page (Settings -> F4 Post Tree).

Upcoming PRO version

We’re working on a extended PRO version for this plugin, which adds a few neat features:

First of all, it adds support for custom post types.

But the most interesting feature is the support for menus. With this feature you can manage and sort the menus you want directly in your tree sidebar.

That means, you can activate every menu you want to be shown in the tree, so you can drag&drop posts directly at the position you want the post to appear in the menu. You don’t have do add/remove/sort posts and pages through the awkward menu page (Display -> Menus).

This feature improves the handling for menus drastic. Your editors and authors will love this!

If you are interested in this neat fetures, you can write us an email to get notified when the PRO version will be released.

Reviews

Promising, but not always working as it should

MarionFW June 23, 2024

Very promising, simple to use. It’s a pity that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. Moving a page to another position sometimes does not work at all, whether moving down or up in the tree, whether it’s just one page or a pages with sub-pages. Sometimes the page seems to be moved to the intended location, but after rebuilding the tree it’s back to its former position. Sometimes, after trying about 10 times, it suddenly works. I can’t find any reasonable explanation for these issues.

WOW, a dream come true!

Why can’t WordPress do something this good by itself? I’ve been waiting for this for so long now. However, it would be even more perfect if the tree could always be seen fully expanded immediately.

great plugin waiting for years
