As of April 2026, Pages Children is a WordPress edit plugin with 200 active installations and a 5/5 rating from 7 reviews. It has been downloaded 13K+ times in total. Requires WordPress 3.7+ and PHP false+. Available on WordPress.org since 2011. Last updated 11 years ago — may have compatibility concerns. Top alternative: Forget About Shortcode Buttons.
The Pages-Children plugin now works with any post or taxonomy type which is setup as hierarchical.
Personally I find the WordPress Pages management somewhat lacking. When dealing with a simple list of About Us, Contact Us, etc. pages the interface works fairly well. But when you have a client who has 15+ levels of sub-pages and each level contains some 50+ pages the interface quickly breaks down in it’s usefulness.
So I put together a plugin to help manage this a little better. The new plugin, pages-children, helps to filter the post type or taxonomy list showing only a single level of at a time. That is it really. There is no admin interface or settings. Just through the power of the WordPress actions and filter the page content can be altered. Powerful stuff.
