FAQ

What’s the difference between [pagemagic_listall], [pagemagic_subpages] and [pagemagic_siblings]?

Shortcodes [pagemagic_listall], [pagemagic_subpages] and [pagemagic_siblings] accept the same parameters. The only difference is that [pagemagic_subpages] and [pagemagic_siblings] do not accept child_of parameter, because [pagemagic_subpages] shows subpages to the current page and [pagemagic_siblings] shows subpages to the parent page.

How do I create a sitemap.xml file?

To create a sitemap.xml file you can use XML-Sitemaps.com.

What do I do if I need to change the plugin’s code?

When you changed the plugin’s code you should also change the plugin’s version to ‘100’ (for example) to avoid updates, which could override and delete your code.

There are similar plugin, but I really like this one because it allows you to create a custom page excerpt instead of using whatever wordpress automatically pulls.
