HTML Page Sitemap

Description

This simple plugin adds an HTML (Not XML) sitemap of your pages (not posts) by using the shortcode [html_sitemap]. This plugin can display a sitemap with specific depths, from a specific parent page and include/exclude specific pages by ID. The sitemap uses the unordered HTML list tags <ul> and <li>.

Shortcode attributes include sort_column, sort_order, exclude, include, depth, child_of, meta_key, meta_value, authors, number, offset, post_type, and post_status parameters from the wp_list_pages function. In addition you can also set class, id, and ordered_list_type to further customize the html page sitemap.

This plugin is perfect for those who use WordPress as a CMS.

Shortcode Tag Attribute Options

The following wp_list_pages tag attribute options are supported:

• authors — Comma-separated list of author IDs. Default empty (all authors).
• child_of — ID of child page, ‘CURRENT’, or ‘PARENT’. The value ‘CURRENT’ will use the current page ID. The value ‘PARENT’ will use the current page parent ID.
• depth — -1 (any depth), 0 (all pages), 1 (top-level pages only), 2 (top-level and 2nd level pages only), etc.

In addition the following tag attributes are available exclusively for this plugin:

• class — Specify class values for the initial HTML Page Sitemap <ul> list tag.
• id — Specify ID values for the initial HTML Page Sitemap <ul> list tag.
• ordered_list_type — Specify the ordered list type. Accepts ”, ‘1’, ‘A’, ‘a’, ‘I’, and ‘i’. Default empty value will display an unordered list.

The ordered_list_type attribute options in more detail:

• ordered_list_type="" — The list items will be unordered
• ordered_list_type="1" — The list items will be numbered with numbers
• ordered_list_type="A" — The list items will be numbered with uppercase letters
• ordered_list_type="a" — The list items will be numbered with lowercase letters
• ordered_list_type="I" — The list items will be numbered with uppercase roman numbers
• ordered_list_type="i" — The list items will be numbered with lowercase roman numbers

Note: This plugin only works with Hierarchical Custom Post Types such as pages. This plugin will not work if your post type is not hierarchical. Not setting an ordered_list_type will use an unordered list (default).
