TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

CMS Tree Page View is for WordPress users, editors and agencies managing content-heavy sites with many pages or posts. It solves the problem of not being able to see or reorder a site's page structure easily, replacing paginated lists with a drag-and-drop tree view for reordering, editing, adding and searching content.

  • Drag-and-drop reordering and renesting
  • Add pages after or inside others
  • Batch add multiple pages
  • Edit, view and search in place
  • Full keyboard navigation
  • Dashboard tree widget
  • Simple History integration for change tracking
  • Supports posts, products, custom content types

Frequently Asked Questions

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

CMS Tree Page View saves the order you set as WordPress' "menu order". It does not change how your theme or other plugins query and display your pages — that is up to the theme. To show your pages in the same order on the front end, the query that outputs them must sort by menu_order. For example: $query = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'page', 'orderby' => 'menu_order', 'order' => 'ASC', 'posts_per_page' => -1, ) ); For wp_list_pages() or a navigation menu, use 'sort_column' => 'menu_order'. Many themes sort by title or date by default, which is why the tree order may not appear automatically. The tree does not load, or keeps showing "Loading..." This is almost always a JavaScript error from another plugin or your theme that stops the tree from initializing. To track it down: Open your browser's developer console (F12, then the Console tab) on the tree page and look for red errors. Temporarily switch to a default theme such as Twenty Twenty-Four. Deactivate your other plugins one by one to find the conflict.
Any public post type. By default the tree is enabled for hierarchical post types (such as Pages). You can enable or disable it per post type under Settings → CMS Tree Page View.
Yes. The tree works with any public post type — pages, regular posts, WooCommerce products, and your own custom post types — as long as you enable it for that post type in the settings. It works with both hierarchical and non-hierarchical post types, and you can even drag an item from one tree into another to change its post type.
The same ones they can see on WordPress' built-in Posts and Pages screens. The tree follows WordPress' own permissions, so each user only sees content they are allowed to manage. For example, a user who can edit only their own content (such as a Contributor) sees their own pages and posts in the tree, not other people's drafts — exactly as on the standard WordPress overview screens.
Yes — if you also install the free Simple History plugin. When it's active, CMS Tree Page View shows recent activity right in the tree: select any page to see its own history — who edited it, and when — or open the "Latest changes" feed to see edits, moves and new pages across your whole site at a glance. Simple History is a separate free plugin by the same author; the tree works fine without it, and simply hides the history panels when it isn't installed.
No. CMS Tree Page View only adds the tree inside the WordPress admin; it loads nothing on the public side of your site, so it has no effect on front-end performance. The only thing it stores is the page order (as WordPress' "menu order") — see the first FAQ for how to display that order on the front end.
Yes. CMS Tree Page View uses WordPress' own edit links, so clicking "Edit" on a page opens it in whatever editor your site uses — the block editor (Gutenberg) or the classic editor. The tree itself works independently of the editor you have active.
Yes. CMS Tree Page View has been taken back over by its original author and is being actively maintained again.
Yes — select a page and use the Move up / Move down buttons in the page's detail card. Dragging a page to a different level in the hierarchy (making it a child of another page) needs a mouse: it uses the browser's native drag and drop, which touch screens do not support.
