As someone who works with dozens of WordPress blogs & websites for my clients, I’d say the #1 feature from your list that would make *their* lives much easier is better menu management. Teaching non-technical users how to use sort order is a bit challenging, but moreover it’s a feature that they use all the time and that’s wildly inefficient at the moment. A drag-and-drop interface on the page management screen would be fabulous.
Other menu-related features that I often hear requests for from my clients include:
- Being able to link to a single page from two different sections of the site;
- Having the option to specify a navigation title that’s different from the page title (e.g. for creating shorter menu links); and
- Hiding pages from the navigation from the back-end (i.e. without messing with template files — we currently use a plugin for this).
Beyond menu management, image editing/cropping would make a lot of my clients really happy, as would easy linking to internal content. As a developer, I see a lot of proposed features in your list that make *me* really excited, but I know if I sent the list to my clients, they’d prioritize these basic functionality pieces.
Hope this is helpful. Thanks for opening this up for discussion!
