WordPress plugins for an effective CMS
November 2, 2010 at 9:01 pm | PHP | 2 comments
This is a list of all the plugins I used on a recent project that worked well together to streamline WordPress for better use as a CMS. Simple Fields worked really well for having a different banner image on each page.

CMS Tree Page View
Adds a CMS-like tree view of all your pages, like the view often found in a page-focused CMS. By using the tree you can edit, view, add pages and even search pages (useful if you have many pages). And with drag and drop you can rearrange the order of your pages. Page management won’t get any easier than this!

White Label CMS
A plugin that allows you to brand wordpress CMS as your own
Hey! Glad you liked my Simple Fields-plugin. Also glad to see CMS Tree Page View in the list
Hi,
Thanks for the mention of White Label CMS, we are glad you like it.
You should also check out our premium plugin, the WordPress User Manual Plugin. Because in our opinion, it is vital that when you provide a CMS for your client, you also provide professional documentation.
Thanks
