List Peer Pages Plugin
June 24th, 2006
If I’m understanding the plugin, if you are on a child page, that has other siblings, this plugin will list those pages, however if you are on the top level/parent page, it will not show those children. As WP evolves to be used more and more as a CMS, and not just for blogging, plugins such as this one become much more handy, at least until the core code is adapted for better page management.
Seems like Chris’ page is down….does anyone know where to get a hold of this plug-in?
PSA: Anyone looking for Chris McCaffrey’s Wordpress list_peer_pages.php script recently won’t have been able to find it as it appears his website is offline.
I think that the solution people looking to use this plugin provides has been solved elsewhere. Consider this example:
If the page structure for the website is as follows
Page A
- Child A Page A
– Grandchild A Page A
– Grandchild A Page B
- Child A Page B
- Child A Page C
Page B
Page C
When in one of the grandchild pages I want to be able to see all the grandchild pages.
Now I need the menu to be dynamic, so I can’t just statically address the pages. In my mind I would describe this as wanting the navigation menu to show the peer pages to the current page aka the brothers/sisters aka the siblings.
i.e. the navigation menu will show
– Grandchild A Page A
– Grandchild A Page B
when you are looking at either Grandchild A Page A or Grandchild A Page B.
I have recreated a plugin to do this here:

Hope that helps some one else!
