    Very helpful site navigation plugin for website with large number and complex hierarchy of pages.

    Ask and you shall receive! I mentioned an idea for a feature that doesn’t exist and presto Matt added it within a few days! Simply magic.

    I love WordPress but used Joomla because it allow custom menu per category. But this plug-in solved my problem. Now I can show different menu according to categories. Great Job by the Developer!

    DVersion 4.5.0 Needs some modifications:
    ===
    Number of parents to display __
    (0 to hide; 100 or all displays all)
    Number of levels of child pages to display:

    Current __ (maximum)
    Parent 1 __
    Parent 2 __ (grand parent)
    Parent 3 __ (grand-grand parent)
    Other grand-grand parents displays without children
    include only _____ (blank or if not exists to include all)
    exclude _____
    ========
    Now the number of children to display starts from highest parent, but not from current item.
    Show parent without children doesnt work.

    Does the job well. Super easy to configure. Thanks!

    P.S. When include parent page option is checked, the children don.t show up. Not sure if its a theme-related glitch. The plugin does what I need otherwise.

    Install, activate, and drag to the sidebar in your widgets view, hit save, and you.re done. Lightweight and works straight away. Will use again.

    The private intranet sites Im working on have more than 600 . 700 pages organized into 8 sections, with varying access privileges to logged in users. We needed an auto-generated sidebar navigation panel listing all the pages within each section, with sub-sections.

    Ive been working thru tedious iterations of building various extensive custom menus per section, site-maps, dynamic sidebars and widgets.all ending up being a waste of time & resources compared to the ease, efficiency & functionality of this plug-in! I installed this plug-in on a dev site that has 400 pages and 5 sections . worked right out-of-the-box. Every page in each section has a custom sidebar list of parent/child/grand-children/etc sections with ALL the page links.with a single click! Impressive . and the last piece of the navigation puzzle we needed.

    We have now bought the Pro version . unlimited site usage, one time fee . a total no-brainer, since the free version is so well built and simple to set up. Congratulations on the ONLY viable navigation plug-in solution for page-centric Word Press sites! Only wish Id found this plug-in 2 months ago when I started trolling for better navigation solutions!
