I tried using the Nested Pages to clean up the management of my pages a bit. I didn’t realize it was going to change the links of literally all my pages, break my Ultimate Member plugin, and overall just cause absolute chaos.
And disabling the plugin doesn’t revert these changes.
Very disappointing. Nice UI, but you have a complicated site with sensitive linking, this is scary.
I do like this plugin, although it misses pagination.
But the main reason that I cannot use it, is that I have organized my menu with #admin-menu-editor. And nested-pages really cannot work with it. I posted an issue about this in github weeks ago…. but it not very active there :-(.
If it would just generate the links well even with another menu-editor, I would give it at least 4 stars. 5 stars when pagination is added.
Great little plugin. Brought my page management list down from 5 pages to just one, by using submenus. I highly recommend. I am not a power user, so a plugin that is simple to install, simple to understand, and that does exactly what is needed gets my 5 stars (6 if I could give them actually).
I have a wordpress with hundreds of pages and subpages. So much better than vanilla page listing
Does exactly what it says and is 1000x better than the original wordpress page manage. PLUS the plugin is free, what else could you ask for??
