This plugin provides collapsible navigation trees for archives, categories, pages, links, custom taxonomies and menus. Use the widgets in a widget area or the template functions documented below. Archive trees can group posts by year and month. Requires WordPress 6.0.1 or later and PHP 7.4 or later. Additional Info The original ‘WP-dTree’ was created by Christopher Hwang in ~2005. By 2007 Mr. Hwang seemed to have dropped of the internet for good so Ulf Benjaminsson forked the plugin in and named it ‘WP-dTree 3.0’ (note to self: having a release number in the title was stupid). The fork was focused on performance improvements – mainly caching – but soon expanded to add a lot of new features and modernizations; compatibility with WP 2.7 through WP 3.3, widgets, out-of-the-box Scriptaculous support, link trees, feed icons and more. For version 4.0 the entire plugin has been rewritten from scratch by Ulf, bringing it in line with the much matured WP 3.x API. *WP-dTree (3.0 and up) is Copyright (C) 2007-2021 Ulf Benjaminsson (email: hello at my full name dot com) *WP-dTree (3.x and lower) Copyright (C) 2006 Christopher Hwang (email: chris at silpstream dot com). *dTree-JavaScript is Copyright (c) 2002-2003 Geir Landrö This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
