Blog-in-Blog allows you to use the WordPress platform for it’s CMS features, but still have a blog page on your site. Posts selected by category, post_type, tag or any combination thereof, can be used to feed the ‘special’ blog page, and can optionally be hidden from the home page. 
You can have more than one category hidden from the homepage (not post_types or tags).
You can also use this plugin to show posts on the same page from different categories, post_types or tags, but in several different blocks and using different layout templates.
If you find this plugin useful (especially if it gets you out of a fix in a commercial setting), please feel free to leave feedback via the donate button.
I am grateful for those people who have already bought me a beer 🙂
Important: In previous versions of the Blog-in-Blog plugin you might have edited bib_post_template.tpl. If you are upgrading, we will copy this to a textbox so you can edit the template from the plugin page. The bib_post_template.pl file is no longer used and may vanish in a future release.

Blog-in-Blog

This plugin shows posts from a category on any page you like using shortcodes. Create multiple blogs within a blog using a category.

The Admin Menu Tree Page View plugin adds a tree-view layout to all your pages – directly accessible in the admin menu. This way, all your content will be available with just one click, no matter where you are in the admin area.
You can also add posts, pages and custom post types directly in the tree and you can quickly find your pages by using the real-time search box.

<h4>Top features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Change the order of your pages with drag-and-drop</li>
<li>View all your pages – no matter where in the admin you are</li>
<li>View the hierarchy (parent/child relationship) of your pages</li>
<li>Add pages directly after or inside another post – no need to first create the post and then select the parent</li>
<li>Adds link to view a public post type directly from the admin menu – no need to first edit the post and then click the view link</li>
</ul>
Works perfectly in WordPress installations with lots of pages in a tree hierarchy.

Admin Menu Tree Page View


The screenshots for this plugin show that you can access the tree of pages by going to a special page in the admin menu. But that is not what happens. Instead, this plugin adds a full list of all pages to the admin menu itself, under Pages. It's too long, it's a mess, and I can't use it. I thought this would be a good replacement for the still-working-but-apparently-abandoned CMS Tree Page View, but it is not. I'll be going back to that plugin instead.


Screenshots are not accurate

Get a tree view of all your pages directly in the admin menu. Search, add, edit, view, re-order – all is just one click away!
