Reviews
what people actually sayAdmin Menu Tree Page View is a well-liked workflow tool that adds a fly-out page tree to the WordPress admin menu, though a disruptive behavioral change at some point alienated users who valued the original fly-out approach, and a handful of specific usability and compatibility gaps remain.
What people like
- +Fly-out page tree in the admin menu makes navigating and editing pages significantly faster, especially on large sites×6
- +Widely trusted across many sites over long periods with no reported conflicts×3
- +Ability to add a sub-page directly from the navigation menu is a valued time-saver
- +Support from the current developer is described as responsive and helpful
- +Works well for managing large page hierarchies with parent/child structures×2
Common complaints
- −A behavioral change replaced the fly-out menu with a separate page listing, removing the core time-saving benefit that users originally valued×2
- −Screenshots are reportedly inaccurate and do not reflect actual plugin behavior
- −Font size and icons are too small on large screens, with no built-in option to adjust them×2
- −No option to sort pages alphabetically; pages are ordered by creation order only
- −Does not work with Pods custom post types; only replaces standard WordPress pages
- −No CSS selectors to filter or collapse pages by status (e.g. draft, private), limiting customization
- −A possible bug causes an extra search box to appear in the Pages panel menu
