Is there a way to organize Wordpress Pages?

I'm working on a site that will start with over 100 pages (not posts). The problem is that is just lists your pages in no particular order and it's terribly organized. Is there a plugin that will allow you to put them into different folders or categories? Or some type of tree?

  • WordPress does not use folders but you can organise static Pages in a hierarchical fashion using parent-child relationships.

  • You can try Page Organizer plugin, but that changes the URLs.
  • This plugin is great for large websites

  • Can you just orgainze them in your Menu? You can create lots of different Menus with your pages under each one.

    Just go to Appearance > Menu ... and add all your pages to a new Menu and you can organize them in any fashion.
  • Yep, go to your Plugin directory and search for Page Organizer, we use it and it works great.
  • Is using sub-pages better for on-page SEO than doing each page individually? I was going to just set each page url for the keyword but if they have a hierarchical structure it might be better.
  • Yeah, sub pages is the one im using. The plugin wont change the permalink of your page, it just helps you organize the pages in your backend

    • =) What I meant was:

      If someone is searching for the keyword term "toyota camry" is using

      cars/toyota/sedans/toyota-camry

      better than

      cars/toyota-camry

      If I use the parent/child feature built into wordpress it will change the URL and include the parent page name in the URL as well. Is it better to have a Hierarchical structure in the URL? Or better to just have a very short url such as mysite/keyword...

  • Just use the page organizer in your plugin by using this you can easily organize your website and you can also change even all the menus.
  • Benefits? - If done smartly, you can, actually, create an excellent silo structure for your content...

    And before you ask - just go through the whole thread (lots of confusing info at the beginning) > http://www.warriorforum.com/website-...nderstand.html

    • Just got done reading thread and now understand siloing. From what I read this is how you implement it:


      ------------- In one theme that I made on single post view (which you consider a "dead end") I had two different link pairs on the top and on the end.

      TOP - Next/Previous post in chronological order

      BOTTOM (end of post) - Next/Previous post in the same category

      All this can be done without any plugin, just adding a single line of code to the single.php template.

      -------------

      I'm working with wordpress Pages, any suggestions on how to handle this since there aren't categories in Pages? I understand the idea of taking an article and linking it to a related article (LSI). At the same time I'm confused about how to actually link it. Should I have anchor text at the bottom that reads "check out (related keyword here)". Or should I have a widget in the side panel with links to all the pages that are related... It is all very confusing =)
  • This might be what you're looking for to organize your pages:

  • Might be worth checking out the Wicked Folders plugin. It allows you to organize pages and posts into folders. It doesn't change your page's hierarchy or URLs so you can freely organize them how you want on the back-end without disrupting the pages themselves.
