Groups

Groups let you organize collections of entries outside the main tree view.

Why would you want to do that? The primary use case is one-off landing pages — especially when you care deeply about the URL. Landing pages tend to lead to one of two outcomes:

1. To retain top-level URLs, landing pages are added as Pages, making a cluttered mess.
2. To stay organized, landing pages are added as a custom post type, inserting an unwanted URI segment.

OrganizeWP solves this by letting you “extract” top-level Pages (for example) from the main site outline and collect those one-off landing pages into Groups. You can create any number of Groups and implement an organization strategy that makes sense for you.

Manual groups

Entries within a Group behave exactly like entries in the main tree view (including their Entry Panel actions), so any customizations are retained — and that is also how you remove entries from a Group over time. You can delete a Group at any time; any entries it held simply return to the main tree view. Groups can also be toggled open or closed, and that state is saved per user.

Smart Groups

Smart Groups are collections of entries processed and parsed in real time. One that ships with OrganizeWP is a list of recently edited entries:

There is no manual curation with Smart Groups; the logic is built into the Smart Group itself and updates automatically over time. OrganizeWP also supports custom Smart Groups.
