HTML Page Sitemap

This simple plugin adds an HTML (Not XML) sitemap of your pages (not posts) by entering the shortcode [html_sitemap] in the page content. This simple plugin is configured with the [html_sitemap] shortcode. This plugin can display a sitemap with specific depths, from a specific parent page and include/exclude specific children. Shortcode attributes include sort_column, sort_order, exclude, include, depth, child_of, meta_key, meta_value, authors, number, offset, post_type, and post_status, everything the wp_list_pages function accepts. In addition to the wp_list_pages options you can also set class, id, and ordered_list_type options.

This plugin is perfect for those who use WordPress as a CMS.

Please see documentation for the wp_list_pages for a complete list of options.

The following options may be configured in addition to options documented in wp_list_pages:

The class and id attributes may specified set class or id values for the initial HTML Page Sitemap

list tag.

The child_of attribute value can be a numeric page ID (integer), or use the custom value CURRENT or PARENT. The value “CURRENT” will use the current page’s ID. The value “PARENT” will uses the curent page’s parent ID.

The ordered_list_type attribute is an HTML Page Sitemap plugin exclusive option for specfiying an ordered list type. Not setting a ordered_list_type will use an unordered list (default).

• ordered_list_type="1" – The list items will be numbered with numbers
• ordered_list_type="A" – The list items will be numbered with uppercase letters
• ordered_list_type="a" – The list items will be numbered with lowercase letters
• ordered_list_type="I" – The list items will be numbered with uppercase roman numbers
• ordered_list_type="i" – The list items will be numbered with lowercase roman numbers

Note: This plugin only works with Hierarchical Custom Post Types. This plugin will not work if your post type is not heirarchical.

ATTENTION: HTML-SITEMAP SHORTCODE HAS CHANGED

Though html-sitemap still works, the new HTML Sitemap shortcode is html_sitemap. The dash/hyphen may not get processed correctly if other plugins use the same prefix such as the Syntax Highlighter plugin. read more, and more
