Smart Pages Plugin

« Back to WordPress

Smart Pages provides smarter navigational links between pages, providing links to parent pages and sibling pages or sub pages, making navigation within a large number of pages much easier for your readers.Smart Pages is based on Michael Wender's WenderHost Subpages widget. Smart Pages can be used just to replace the standard WordPress Pages widget, or it can be also used to automatically provide sub page and parent page links wherever you like.

Installing

Upload the `smart-pages` directory to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
Configure the plugin via Presentation > Widgets
Add the Smart Pages widget to your sidebar via Presentation > Widgets admin page.

Optionally edit your theme to place links where needed. For links to a parent page insert the following code in your theme:

if( function_exists('smart_pages') ) {
    $links = smart_pages();
    if( isset( $links[ 'back' ] ) ) echo $links[ 'back' ];
}

For links to sub-pages add the following code in your theme:

if( function_exists('smart_pages') ) {
    $links = smart_pages();
    if( isset( $links[ 'children' ] ) ) echo '<ul>' . $links[ 'children' ] . '</ul>';
}

Screen Shots

Instead of showing the full page hierarchy (which can get pretty messy), Smart Pages provides links up and down the hierarchy and lets your reader know where they are.
In pages with no sub-pages, your readers instead see links to sibling pages.
