NOTE: If you’re looking for something more user-focused, take a look at <a href="https://organizewp.com/?utm_source=wordpressorg&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=readme" rel="nofollow ugc">OrganizeWP</a> which is complete rethinking of Hierarchy!
Custom Post Types (sometimes) need context, Hierarchy allows you to rework your content management workflow by essentially moving Custom Post Type admin menus into your Pages list. What this does is mimic the navigation you’ve set up on your site by placing Custom Post Type edit links amongst your Pages where they belong.
<a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/hierarchy/screenshots/" rel="ugc">» Check out the screenshots to see Hierarchy in action</a>
Hierarchy removes unnecessary entries from the Admin Menu and instead injects theme where appropriate amongst your Pages, grouping everything under a single ‘Content’ Admin Menu entry.
<h4>Custom Post Types NEED context</h4>
Custom Post Types are great, but the editing workflow can be improved. Adding a Custom Post Type likely results in another WordPress admin sidebar menu, abstracting the management of that content from the main organization of your site, Pages. Hierarchy intelligently extends your Pages menu by including your Custom Post Type admin links within the Page structure, allowing for a much more natural workflow when managing your content.
<h4>Examples</h4>
Chances are you’ve customized your <code>Front page displays</code> setting to display a static page instead of your latest blog posts. Now you’ve got a sidebar link to manage your Posts and a WordPress Page called “Blog” that sites in your list of Pages doing absolutely nothing. Hierarchy remedies both problems by converting the “Blog” page link to be one that lists your Posts. It also hides the Posts sidebar entry (if you want it to).
It’s also likely that you’re utilizing Custom Post Types to power sections of your website, but it’s awkward to manage the content of an internal section of your website using the main WordPress admin sidebar links to your Custom Post Type. Hierarchy will allow you to hide those sidebar links and instead nest them amongst your Pages, providing contextual links to manage the content of your Custom Post Types.

FAKTOR VIER

<a href="https://www.f4dev.ch" rel="nofollow ugc">F4 Post Tree</a> adds a neat and easy to use sidebar tree view to your posts and/or pages backend.
Once activated, your posts/pages will be displayed hierarchically in the tree sidebar.
The sidebar appears on every post related page in WordPress, so you don’t have to leave your current page to manage or sort the posts/pages.
For every post status there is a icon color, so you can see if a post/page is published, draft or planned.
You can also see if someone else is currently editing a post. In this case a small lock-icon appears in the tree.
This Plugin is currently not compatible with Multisites. This feature will be added in the near future.
<h4>Usage</h4>
This plugin works out-of-the-box. By default, the tree will be displayed for both pages and posts. You can enable/disable the tree for both individually on the settings page (Settings -> F4 Post Tree).
<h4>Features overview</h4>
<ul>
<li>Tree view sidebar for pages and posts backend</li>
<li>Hierarchical order and display</li>
<li>Drag and drop sorting</li>
<li>Colorful icons for every post status</li>

<h4>Upcoming PRO version</h4>
We’re working on a extended PRO version for this plugin, which adds a few neat features:
First of all, it adds support for custom post types.
But the most interesting feature is the support for menus. With this feature you can manage and sort the menus you want directly in your tree sidebar.
That means, you can activate every menu you want to be shown in the tree, so you can drag&drop posts directly at the position you want the post to appear in the menu. You don’t have do add/remove/sort posts and pages through the awkward menu page (Display -> Menus).
This feature improves the handling for menus drastic. Your editors and authors will love this!
If you are interested in this neat fetures, you can write us an <a href="mailto:hallo@faktorvier.ch?subject=I'm%20interested%20in%20F4%20Post%20Tree%20PRO!&body=Please%20notify%20me%20if%20the%20PRO%20version%20is%20available!" rel="nofollow ugc">email</a> to get notified when the PRO version will be released.
