Auto Navigation

Updated on December 16, 2025

Auto-Generated Navigation – Zero Configuration, Perfect Hierarchy Every Time

WP Documentation builds your entire sidebar (and breadcrumb trail) automatically from your page structure — no JSON files, no manual menus, no plugins required.

Just organize your docs with parent/child pages in WordPress → the theme does the rest.

How It Works (Magic, but Explainable)

Action You TakeWhat the Theme Does Automatically
Create a pageAdds it to the sidebar
Drag a page under another (make child)Creates collapsible section with arrow
Reorder pagesSidebar updates instantly (no save needed)
Add headings (H2/H3) inside a pageShows them as sub-items in sidebar
Delete or hide a pageInstantly removed from navigation

No “rebuild navigation” button. No cache to clear. It just works.
