Thanks for the work around!

Do I need to register my Google account as a Chrome Web Store Developer and pay the registration fee in order for this to work? (Just want to make sure I’m doing the right thing before I take out my credit card;)

Hey there!
NO you don’t need to register any accounts. Just download plug and play.
Read the instructions above.

Got it! Thank you!

Hey! I downloaded the plugin and I noticed that now my pages section seems to be glitching. I am now unable to change the order of my pages (usually after trying multiple times, I refresh the page, and I see that the Softr pages are showing in the correct order). Additionally, I have to click at least 5 times to open a page. While I love being able to organize my many pages, it’s not worth if if the basic functionality of the pages is compromised.

Is anyone else having this problem as well and can recommend a solution?

Hi there :waving_hand: Thanks a lot for taking the time to share your experience!

You may notice a little flicker when hovering over a page, but one click should still be enough to open it. The current drawback with the plugin is that it prevents reordering pages by drag-and-drop that’s a known limitation. However the default page ordering you had established, should not be altered.

Good news - we just shipped a revamp of pages management in the Studio:

Folders
Group related pages together: client portal in one folder, admin in another.

Nested pages, unlimited depth
Nest pages under folders or under other pages. Build a hierarchy that mirrors your app.

Drag and drop
Drag a page onto a folder to nest it, drag whole subtrees around, or use the searchable “Move to” picker.

Also:

  • “Add and nest page” creates a page directly inside a folder

  • Collapse/expand any branch, with a count badge on collapsed folders

  • Draft indicators and a visibility popover on each page row

  • Refreshed look for the pages panel

Note: folders and nesting only organize the Studio sidebar. Page URLs and published navigation don’t change, so reorganize freely without breaking links.
