Entry Level for Craft CMS 5
Allows for the automatic placing of new entries to a desired Structure level.
This plugin will nest a new entry based on the Entry Type. No more manually repositioning entries after save!
Mostly for those using the Entry Type Templates pattern to create landing pages with children (e.g., blogs with articles).



Requirements
- Craft CMS 5.3.0+
- PHP 8.2+
Installation
Install via Composer:
Configuration
- Go to Settings → Plugins → Entry Level → Settings
- For each Structure section, configure parent-child relationships between Entry Types
How It Works
When you create a new entry of a configured "child" Entry Type, the plugin automatically moves that entry under a parent entry of the configured "parent" Entry Type.
Example: News Section
With this configuration:
- Creating a News Landing → stays at root level (no parent configured)
- Creating a News Article → automatically placed under News Landing (Level 2)
Multi-Level Hierarchies
The plugin supports unlimited nesting depth. Chain Entry Types to create deep structures:
| Entry Type | Parent Type | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Landing Page | (none) | Root level |
| Article | (Landing Page) | Level 2 |
Troubleshooting
Entry not being auto-parented
- Check that the parent Entry Type has at least one entry created
- Verify the configuration in Settings → Plugins → Entry Level
- Ensure you're creating a new entry (editing existing entries won't trigger auto-parenting)
