Not like in the screenshots

    I installed the plugin on a website and it didn’t look like it used to, and seemed buggy. So I installed it on a fresh install of WordPress to rule out any conflict with other plugins: no dice.

    • The dotted lines don’t appear between the items anymore which makes it harder to see the hierarchy between posts.
    • When dragging a few pixels but leaving a page in place, the click is triggered and we’re moved to the edit page.
    • The reordering by dragging the pages is very unreliable; sometimes works, sometimes doesn’t.

    Maybe I’m missing something, but this is frustrating, especially after having happily used that plugin before. I mean WHAT THE F*** DUDE?! I’d help by trying to fix the bug and contribute but my daily job is already sucking the life out of me, etc.

    The look of the plugin has not changed in a very long time. Are you sure this is the plugin you used before? If so, could you post a screens so I can see how it looks for you?

    Hey!

    I actually downloaded an older version (0.5.4) that still had the dotted lines (I haven’t binary-searched to find when the lines disappeared though). Is your plugin a fork of another plugin with a similar name? Version 0.5.4 looks close to what I remember, but it was a while ago.

    Here’s a screenshot of what I see: http://i.imgur.com/60vDt4A.png

    Note the little arrow tip which is detached from the window; at first that looked to me like some sort of conflict with the CSS, but the screenshot was taken after installing the latest version of the plugin with the latest version of WordPress (fresh install).

    PS: sorry about the tone of the last paragraph in my previous post: I’m a lunatic 🙂

    I can confirm hexanal’s observations. The dotted lines are missing. And the hover, click, drag & drop, actions are all very sensitive and unpredictable. Tested in both FF 42 and Chrome 47.

    Just did a bit more experimenting. I’m finding that even when the drag & drop reordering appears to place a page in the right spot, after the dashboard is refreshed, the page (or pages branch) is not where I dragged them. Oooops. That’s a problem.

    This is a great plugin for displaying and reordering page hierarchy. But right now I find it too touchy and unpredictable to use. 🙁
