<p>The <strong>Admin Menu Tree Page View</strong> plugin adds a tree-view layout to all your pages – directly accessible in the admin menu. This way, all your content will be available with just one click, no matter where you are in the admin area.</p>
<p>You can also add posts, pages and custom post types directly in the tree and you can quickly find your pages by using the real-time search box.</p>

Admin Menu Tree Page View


The screenshots for this plugin show that you can access the tree of pages by going to a special page in the admin menu. But that is not what happens. Instead, this plugin adds a full list of all pages to the admin menu itself, under Pages. It's too long, it's a mess, and I can't use it. I thought this would be a good replacement for the still-working-but-apparently-abandoned CMS Tree Page View, but it is not. I'll be going back to that plugin instead.


Screenshots are not accurate

Get a tree view of all your pages directly in the admin menu. Search, add, edit, view, re-order – all is just one click away!
