The interface is excellent for large sites but the risk of broken URLs is a serious concern.

Reviews
what people actually sayNested Pages is well-regarded as a significant improvement over WordPress's default page management interface, especially for large sites, but carries a serious caveat around slug/URL breakage and compatibility issues with other plugins, compounded by what appears to be largely inactive support.
What people like
- +Dramatically improves page management for large sites with many pages and subpages, making site structure clear at a glance×6
- +Simple drag-and-drop interface for nesting and ordering pages, faster than the core WordPress UI×4
- +Enables bulk draft creation and pre-structured menu building before publishing, supporting a useful staging workflow
- +Free to use
- +Works well with WPML
Common complaints
- −Can break page slugs and URLs, causing 404 errors that persist even after removing the plugin×2
- −Conflicts with other plugins, including Ultimate Member, USP Pro (Frontend Posting), and admin menu editor plugins×3
- −Not compatible with Yoast SEO — moved pages do not have their canonical URLs updated automatically, which can harm SEO indexing
- −Support appears inactive or abandoned, with no responses to bug reports or proposals since late 2022
- −Admin menu management feature causes display issues, including a floating Dashboard tab and broken spacing
- −No pagination in the page list
- −Menu synchronization does not reliably update when changing page hierarchy levels
