Mani, this is a plugin that is wonderful to add to the mix to help turn WP into a full CMS, especially for people who don’t know enough/don’t want to dink around with the WP code to manage navigation. It is a great option for people new to WP and/or coding.

Thanks, Garrett. I’m really glad to find this plugin; it’s going to help with a site I’m turning into a WP site for a customer who had previously been using FrontPage. This will really help her keep the site going on her own.

Well, I’m assuming by post pages you mean content that you keep referring back to as a page, although it is just the single post view of a post? Fix me if I’m off on that…

I would say that the answer has to do with _purpose_. The purpose of pages is to contain and deliver timeless content, whereas posts are very time-oriented. (http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages) Using a post as a page, in certain respects, would be against its purpose.

I would also say that pages have more to offer organizationally, since they can be organized into sub-pages. Again, while it’s _possible_ to do a lot of the same linking to posts rather than pages, it seems similar to the question of “why validate?” Well, part of why you do it is it simply should be done that way.

Hope that answers your question. Thanks for coming by and participating!

Ryan, I think this is a good plugin but im not completely convinced as to why i should use it.

Why can’t i just create post pages – why should i create pages(that shouldnt be listed)?

Im sure if you will give me another reason or two – ill select it.

Help?
