Page list plugins

Here’s an updated list of plugins that provide page list shortcodes to make a pretty list of sub-pages.

Plugin name and description	Plugin links	Version, total downloads, last update, tested
oik OIK Information Kit – Over 80 lazy smart shortcodes for displaying WordPress content By bobbingwide.	oik	3.2.8 2018-12-05 5.0
Page-list [pagelist], [subpages], [siblings] and [pagelist_ext] shortcodes	page-list home	5.1 227785 2018-03-08 4:34am GMT 5.0.1
sub-page-summary	No info available

  Those I won’t bother with: too old, not the right function or no longer appear to work.

Extended page lists

In 2011, before I developed the functionality in the oik base plugin, I was using extended-page-lists to create lists of pages. Between version 0.8 and 1.0 some of the features that I had been using were degraded and now, with WordPress 3.6 it doesn’t appear to work at all. If you are using [[epl]] shortcode you can switch to using [bw_tree]. If you want the page list to display images try [bw_thumbs]
