HTML Page Sitemap

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>.

New for 2.0 is the HTML Sitemap Block, now you can add a HTML Sitemap using the WordPress Block Editor.

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.
