Hi,
We spent the week to study how to support extra columns in the APM Pages panel. We've looked at the WP core itself and to several plugins making use of those extra columns (as Simply Exclude or Yoast SEO for example). We found 2 things :
- First, using the WP hook is very difficult as it expects to be on the original panel
- Second, plugins insert themselves in many ways into the Pages panel (eg. bringing new scripts testing the current URL)
So unfortunatly, we came to the conclusion that we won't support extra columns as it will introduce to much specific and unstable code in our plugin.
However, we perfectly understand the importance of this feature for the users and the developpers.
Here what we've decided at the moment :
- We're going to give you the possibility to access to the WP original Pages panel in order to let you enjoy again the extra columns you need
- In addition to that, we're going to add official hooks to let plugin authors adding extra columns in the APM panels
We'll keep you posted when these features will be implemented.
Best regards
