<p>Adds a CMS-like tree overview of all your pages and custom posts to WordPress – much like the view often found in a page-focused CMS.</p>
<p>Also check out <a href="https://organizewp.com/?utm_campaign=migrate&utm_source=cmstpv&utm_medium=readme&utm_content=desclink" rel="nofollow ugc">OrganizeWP</a> if your goal is to incorporate multiple content types into a single view!</p>
<p>Within this tree you can edit pages, view pages, add pages, search pages, and drag and drop pages to rearrange the order.</p>
<p>CMS Tree Page View is a good alternative to plugins such as pageMash, WordPress Page Tree and My Page Order. For <strong>multiple content types</strong> and other new features check out <a href="https://organizewp.com/?utm_campaign=migrate&utm_source=cmstpv&utm_medium=readme&utm_content=desclink" rel="nofollow ugc">OrganizeWP</a> as well.</p>

CMS Tree Page View


CMS Tree Page View is straightforward, very useful and well-maintained. Everything that open source should be. WordPress owes its success to developers like Jon Christopher and Pär Thernström who create powerful, truly open source solutions like CMS Tree Page View and Simple History and share them for free, without huge advertising banners or interruption marketing with unnecessary admin notifications.



We are proud to modestly sponsor Simple History and Pär. We sponsored Jon Christopher enough with his SearchWP plugin which practices discriminatory pricing against existing users (much higher renewal prices than purchase prices) which is the antithesis of the open source spirit.


Well-maintained, extremely useful open source tool

Adds a tree view of all pages & custom posts. Get a great overview + options to drag & drop to reorder & option to add multiple pages.
