Advanced Page Manager

Screenshots

It is hard to manage WordPress pages when it comes to have more than 10 static pages, right ? Current UI makes it difficult to manage a whole tree of pages. Advanced Page Manager aims to create a totally new Page Manager Panel designed to help you get the job done. Discover how in 3 minutes (better in HD or 480p). So, what should you expect from this plugin ? An easy understand tree. All your pages are presented in an easy to understand tree with all necessary actions to take care of them. Browse, Show/hide subpages. The plugin even remembers the state of each page so that you won’t have to browse again and again the tree to find the same page. Classic actions. Of course, classic actions such as Edit, Preview/View are still there ! Add, move and delete pages from within the tree. But you will also be able to add, move and delete pages from within the tree. And no more cumbersome drag/drop to move pages. We have created a zen way for you to do that �? Also, you don’t have to edit to add a page anymore. Just click the Add New button. New Status for pages. WordPress Status are fine for posts but sound odd for pages. With APM, your pages are online or… offline. Simple no ? Publish/unpublish. Push online (or pull offline) one or more pages directly from the tree. Template Management. Affect or change template for 1 page or any selected range of pages. Select pages. We also provide an easy way to select all subpages for a given parent page. Where is my page ? From the Edit panel, the result lists or even the theme itself, you’ll be able to find your page in the tree thanks to the Where my page? button. Search and filter. Search for pages. Filter to get the list of all online or offline pages. Sort by column in result lists. No clumsy interface. As you, we love the WordPress UI. You’ll feel at home with APM. The plugin interface matches WordPress standards. Theme integration. We also respect your theme. Pages are still pages even managed by APM. No need to change your templates. Template Tags. However, we provide a new set of Template Tags to handle pages in your themes. Feel free to use them if you need to. Don’t like it ? Under the hood, it’s still WordPress. If you uninstall APM, your pages will be there because it’s your content and we care for it. Don’t speak English ? APM is also available in French. Want it in your language ? All strings are available to translation in the WordPress way. Download and install Advanced Page Manager to fully enjoy it !

January the 21st, 2013 – Advanced Page Manager has been designed and developed by a group of WordPress addicts doing professional WordPress projects (among other things like living a normal life). The idea of Advanced Page Manager emerged as we were working on news sites with a lot of pro contents that were… not news but kind of knowledge base (eg. best practices, tutorials…). It was obvious that we could do those contents with standard posts but we had also to twist them in a way we felt as not as a good way to go. So we decided to give a boost to WordPress pages to match a more CMS like management. But we also felt that we had to respect WordPress (UI of course and also technically speaking). We are very happy to release it after 4 months of hard work and hope that you will enjoy it in your own projects. We’d like to thank the Groupe Moniteur, a french B2B news company, that allowed us to develop this project. More specificaly, we thank Caroline Tessier and Claire de Smedt, both wonderful project managers for their help (and patience).
