pageMash, Trash, Auto Draft and WordPress 3.0
I’m a huge fan of the pageMash plugin, it makes managing page hierarchy super easy. Unfortunately the plugin hasn’t seen an official update since February 20th 2009. The first problem I noticed with the plugin was the introduction of the “Trash” status. pageMash would include this status as a normal published page. A bit of a disappointment but the plugin still did what it was supposed to, so I didn’t worry about it too much.
While working with WordPress 3.0 and attempting to install pageMash, I was met with the following message:
Plugin could not be activated because it generated 272 characters of unexpected output.
Disabling debugging will fix this, but the Trash & Auto Draft status bugs are still annoying. I made some very minor modifications to pagemash.php, download the file and replace the original. Both status bugs and all warnings should now be fixed. Hooray!

The quick turnaround time on the completion of the projects has impressed my clients. The quality of the webpage has added to my value proposition and helped me maintain the image I have created offline in my business.

Wow, thanks for doing this…whew! The only thing is, it’s hiding the pages, but it’s not ordering them as specified.
I’m on WP 2.9.2 … fresh install…rebuilding my site.
How do I get the page order to click in?
Best,
Dainis
I didn’t touch the queries that order pages. They should be displayed in menu order.
Well, I’m goofing around with a silly website and for some reason, even with the new pagemash.php in WP 2.9.2, I’m not getting pagemash to work. Ugh, cuz I need to upgrade some of my real sites like curetinnitus.org
Thanks that worked and fixed the Phantom wordpress auto draft pages from showing up.
love this! thanks. I was going to do it myself, but you’ve already done it! hopefully the developer integrates the work you’ve done. thanks

Hey,
thank you very much for kindly sharing!
Awesome… seems to fix problem with PageMash on WordPress 3.0.1 as well.
Thanks for sharing!
Noticing the following with WordPress 3.0.5 – maybe the updat broke it somehow?
`Error: Update Timeout`
Just upgraded this site to 3.0.5, appears to be working normally for me.
It seems to work partially but won’t make child pages. so despite giving the error it updates within heirachy.
Very interesting. Are you receiving any JavaScript errors? What other plugins are you running?
ah slow database problem, increased the timeout in pagemash.js to 28 seconds and that got it working!
Not wokring with WP 3.1
What isn’t working for you? We’re running 3.1 on this site and it’s working for me without issue.
I tried to apply the same patch to pagemash “twin”, i.e. PostMash. Thank you very much for this job!
How did you get on?
