WP-dTree

Author: ulfben

This plugin can generate navigation trees for your posts, pages, links and categories. It uses Scriptaculous for awesome display effects (enable in admin panel).

WP-dTree was originally created by Christopher Hwang. Since Mr. Hwang went MIA, Ulf Benjaminsson forked the plugin (as of version 3.x).

The fork is focused on performance improvements, but it packs a lot of new features and modernizations to boot; WP 2.6 compability, widgets, out-of-the-box Scriptaculous support, link trees, displaying feed icons, post counts and more.

If you enjoy WP-dTree and would like to suggest a specific feature, or just motivate further development - please consider buying me a used book.
