With this plugin you can create a link to post-new.php (the place to create a new page) that includes the desired parent_id of the new page. This allows you to create links in the front end of the website like “Add a new page to this section” or “Create a new sub-page”. This is extremely useful when developing custom themes to add useful backend links on the front end of the site for users who have editing access. For using wordpress as a CMS, you really want to let the user avoid going through the clunky manage pages interface…
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>This should be a feature of wordpress</li>
<li>I can’t believe this isn’t built into wordpress</li>
<li>This has to rely on javascript because there’s no suitable hook to do it another way</li>
<li>Did I mention this should be built into wordpress?</li>
</ul>
<h4>Feedback</h4>
Doubt you’ll have any, but if you do, you can go to my website (http://theoephraim.com) 
I was thinking about making some functions to actually spit out the links, but since were talking about developing custom themes, you may as well just hardcode it.

New Page In Section Links

This plugin lets you turn WordPress into a proper easily navigable CMS. Having a site made up mostly of pages in the form of a tree (an information site for example) was always a pain until I wrote this to help me out. I have had lots of feedback about it over the last few months and more and more people are finding ways they can use it to improve the navigation and usability of their sites
I wanted to show some sort of hierarchy in the pages inside WordPress. I decided to call one of my pages “articles” and have my articles use it as their parent.
Logically you would expect to see a list of the child pages on the articles page along with a pretty picture and some intro text. This doesn’t seem possible natively with WordPress so I decided to make it happen.
Adding the hook [sb_child_list] to any post or page will by default show an unordered list showing the children and links to them. If you prefer to style it yourself then don’t worry because you can do that too using the templating system on the settings page.
There is also add another tag, [sb_parent], that allows you to provide a back to parent link from any child. This enables you (in the articles example) to add a “click here to read more on this subject” link. It is also template based so it can say anything or look however you see fit
You can also use this shortcode: [sb_cat_list category=CatName] which does what it says on the tin, simply give it a category name and it will show the posts in that category for you with optional ‘limit’ argument
The plugin creates a widget for use also. This works if there is a sub page present. Much like a sub pages widget or similar.
I have added a shortcode for sibling navigation. You can use [sb_sibling_next] and [sb_sibling_prev] to show links to next and previous pages ordered by menu order followed by post title order. Handy indeed! You can use the argument orderby to select a field and order to choose ASC or DESC.
There is a simple templating system to allow multiple templates for [sb_child_list] and [sb_cat_list] with the argument ‘template’ ([sb_child_list template=”2″]). Also added excerpt support and support for the SB Uploader Plugin custom fields (custom field called post_image will show if necessary).
To round it all up.. Shortcode listings:
[sb_child_list] <– Arguments allowed are: ‘template’, ‘nest_level’, ‘orderby’ and ‘order’ (order and orderby allow the arguments specified in this list: https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Order_.26_Orderby_Parameters) 
[sb_parent] 
[sb_grandparent] 
[sb_cat_list] 
[sb_sibling_next] 
[sb_sibling_prev]
