The Query Posts widget was written to allow users that don’t know their way around PHP to easily show posts in any way they’d like. It’s like having a cool WordPress developer as a friend ready to do your bidding. Seriously.
The widget has over 40 options to choose from. You can list posts by category, tag, custom taxonomies, author, date, time, name, or anything you can imagine. You can choose to show the full content, excerpts, or even a simple list. You can order the posts in all sorts of ways. Oh, and you can even show pages.
This is the widget that keeps users out of the code and gives them the ability to display items on their site how they want.

A WordPress widget that gives you unlimited control over showing posts and pages.

<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>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!
