Painless Analytics

<p>This simple plugin adds an HTML (Not XML) sitemap of your pages (not posts) by using the shortcode <code>[html_sitemap]</code>. This plugin can display a sitemap with specific depths, from a specific parent page and include/exclude specific pages by ID. The sitemap uses the unordered HTML list tags <code><ul></code> and <code><li></code>.</p>
<p>New for 2.0 is the <strong>HTML Sitemap Block</strong>, now you can add a HTML Sitemap using the WordPress Block Editor.</p>
<p>Attributes include <code>sort_column</code>, <code>sort_order</code>, <code>exclude</code>, <code>include</code>, <code>depth</code>, <code>child_of</code>, <code>meta_key</code>, <code>meta_value</code>, <code>authors</code>, <code>number</code>,  <code>offset</code>, <code>post_type</code>,  and <code>post_status</code> parameters from the <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_list_pages" rel="nofollow ugc"><code>wp_list_pages</code></a> function. In addition you can also set <code>class</code>, <code>id</code>, and <code>ordered_list_type</code> to further customize the html page sitemap.</p>
<p><strong>This plugin is perfect for those who use WordPress as a CMS.</strong></p>

HTML Page Sitemap (Block and Shortcode)

I felt the need to post a quick review for this plugin since it got a couple low ratings due to only including pages. The plugin clearly states it is for listing all of your pages only. It is not a normal XML sitemap. I'm giving it 5 stars because it is simple and does what I wanted. I simply wanted a page that listed all of my site's pages. This did it quickly and minimally. 

I do have one suggestion for the author. Rename the plugin. Instead of HTML Page Sitemap, perhaps it should be Simple Page List. Or, something that does not include "sitemap" since that word is what caused the couple low reviews, I think.

Sitemap by click5

This does everything we want, including customization of the page layout, columns, omissions, exclusions, etc.  I can honestly say this is our new go-to for an .html sitemap... I'm knocking off a star only because we have to change the silly permalink and remove /click5_
