Enhances the use of page hierarchies by providing easy access to the parent page, sibling pages, and child pages in your admin area.
Grouped Content helps you manage and access your hierarchical pages (including hierarchical custom post types) naturally and automatically. All it takes is the simple action of setting a parent page. (Which you are probably already doing!)
Enhanced Page Management
With Grouped Content, you’ll be able to access pages faster, quickly generate new draft pages in bulk, and better visualize your site’s hierarchy. Additionally, you’ll be able to see overview information of each page group. This can give you insight into which content groups are the largest or have the most drafts.
Features
Grouped Content is light and simple with a few powerful features. You can get started immediately all while keeping control of your site’s pages with these main features:
- Groups Admin Page. View hierarchical pages and group statistics in an easy-to-navigate, distraction-free area.
- Page Relatives Metabox. Access parent, sibling, and child pages immediately upon setting a parent page.
- Content Generator. Quickly add new draft pages and automate menu creation to efficiently create new groups of content and navigation for your site.

Why don’t I see anything in (Page) Groups?
Groups are formed when you set a Parent Page for a hierarchical post (eg. page). When editing a page, you may assign a Parent Page in the Page Attributes section on the righthand side of your edit screen.
If you can’t find this panel, it may be hidden. Be sure to check the Screen Options to enable the metabox!
Why can’t I find the (Page) Relatives metabox?
If the Page Relatives metabox is not listed on the righthand side when editing a page, it may be hidden. Be sure to check the Screen Options to enable the metabox!
