Did you get this resolved? Email me if not.

Regrettably, exclude= followed by a name excludes the slug by that name, not posts with that as a tag. Excluding posts by tag would require a fair bit of new coding beyond what the WordPress core currently provides.

Have you tried the updated 1.5.8? Also, the image named in subpage_thumb must be either:

• a full URL (https://example.com/image.jpg)
• an exact path to the image file, relative to your wp-uploads/ directory

You can’t just put 2014.06.11-peerlesscat75.jpg ? you need to put 2014/08/2014.06.11-peerlesscat75.jpg if that’s where it went when you uploaded it.

This could be done with a custom filter (see “How do I use AutoNav’s filters?” in the readme). Contact me at [email protected]

Are you seeing any errors in your webserver’s log?

That would require some kind of JavaScript trickery. It’s not how WordPress is designed to work.

Refreshing just that part of the page would require something like jQuery which is beyond the scope of this plugin. The user can just hit Refresh in their browser, though.

Set a style for a <li> element with class, current_page_item . Something like this, perhaps:

.current_page_item > a {
    font-weight: bold;
}

OK. This happens because when the code that chooses the thumbnail for creating-shapeshifter-2 goes thru the list on some systems, it happens to find the shapeshifter-2 thumbnail first.

The loop that matches thumbnails (and “include=” pictures) will be revised in the next revision to first check the directory for exact name matches.

Thank you for helping find this.

The plugin does not have its own CSS file. Modify your theme’s CSS in the same was as you make all your other site style changes.

Good suggestion. I am preparing an update in light of the release of WordPress 3.8 and plan to incorporate these classes for list-items and table cells:

• subpages-item for all items in a list, including current
• subpages-item-current only for the link to the currently displayed page
• subpages-cell for all cells in a table (existing)
• subpages-cell-current only for the link to the currently displayed page

That would let you style the current page differently. Then you can use some JavaScript to set your scroll’s position.

That’s a CSS question, I think. There will be some updates coming within the next week or so as I bring the plugin to WordPress 3.8. Feel free to contact me via email in the meantime.

Presently this plugin uses WordPress’s built-in “walker” functions to build the actual hierarchical tree output. Changing to select elements would require a complete rewrite of this plugin. And it would be nearly impossible for this, or any, plugin to do fancy CSS stuff without conflicting with most themes. At least that is my understanding; I would eagerly hope to be proven wrong, if there’s a good counterexample.

Walker functions: Technical detail: in wp/includes/post-template.php, the function wp_list_pages() in turn calls walk_page_tree() which uses the built-in Walker_Page class. All those functions only know how to output nested list items.

Version 1.6.1 has not yet been released but you might try it from github. Use the “Download ZIP” button on the right of this screen, and replace the current contents of this plugin’s directory.

The next version of the plugin should suppress all output in the extreme case where only the current page is listed.

It would also be possible to modify the plugin to make it configurable whether to display child pages at all, and independently, whether to display ancestor (parent) pages at all.
