Works like a charm along with “CMS Tree Page View” – Plugin
Appreciate the dev to have developed something like this but it’s amazing how in 2023, wordpress cannot resolve URL like every other cms. Wow, just wow.
Simple solution for a simple problem. Works like a champ without apply any additional settings.
This work simple and perfect. for me as a beginner with wordpress
Thanks
An excellent tool, thank you!
Flaws:
1. Needs better explanation on how to implement – getting started might seem intuitive to some, others (like myself) have to figure out how to start a new menu’s “child” hierarchy correctly;
2. When adding new pages, MUST get it right first try; if you forget to make the new page a child (using “PARENT” drop-down), you cannot go back after and correct – the auto-add menu feature won’t see it; have to redo /clone the page and get it right this time;
