Hierarchical HTML Sitemap

Hierarchical HTML Sitemap offers visitors an easy and intuitive navigation across your blog.

This plugin generates HTML Sitemap of your WordPress blog. It displays a list of posts, grouped by hierarchically sorted categories. By using a shortcode you can easily and quickly display sitemap on a page, or anywhere where shortcodes work, e.g. in a widget.

The output does not include any CSS or JavaScript files – it is pure HTML, ready for you to style as you want it.

Features:

• Short and easy shortcode: [htmlmap]
• Categories sorted hierarchically.
• Displays posts and/or pages.
• Can exclude specified posts/pages or categories.
• Displays categories cloud above posts list, for better navigation.
• Displays post’s published date.
• Clean HTML without inline styles or scripts.
• Does not enqueue any unnecessary .js or .css files.
• No ads nor author links.
