   Hello this works, except that the parent is also displaying, how do i show just the child pages, thanks

   • WPBeginner Support

     The simplest method for what it sounds like you’re wanting would be to not have content on the parent page and only have your content in the child pages.

     You would change the two instances of menu_order in our code to be: post_title

     To make it collapsable you could use an accordion plugin such as one of the ones from our article here: https://www.wpbeginner.com/showcase/best-wordpress-accordion-plugins/

   Can I assign a css class to this function? So that when I make css changes to ul elements it wouldn’t affect other ul’s on the site.
   Or any other simple solution for this?

   Antworten

     You could add your CSS class in the ul section of the function

   I installed the plugin code snippets in wordpress 4.9.8

   I copied the code on https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-display-a-list-of-child-pages-for-a-parent-page-in-wordpress/#respond and added it to a new snippet in code snippets.

   I made a page and then a page which was given the attribute of having the first page as the parent page.

   The child parent relationship is shown in the list of pages in the attributes drop down.

   When I open the parent page I see nothing that shows a child page.

   I then tried using the functions.php page.

   I added the code copied from https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-display-a-list-of-child-pages-for-a-parent-page-in-wordpress/#respond to the bottom of the code on the functions page.

   When I open the parent page, I it does not display. What displays is an error message saying there is unexpected code.

   I restored the functions.php page to its original statuc.

   What changes must I make to what I have tried to do.

     Hi Gary,

     Make sure that you publish the child page before testing the code. Also carefully copy the code again to make sure that you are not copying the numbers or any unexpected characters.

    I have a question. I have added sub pages in parent page but when I am opening the site in mobile and clicking on parent page it opens the empty parent page. To view the drop down sub pages one have to hold the button of parent page. How can I fix it. I don’t want that empty page to open. I want that if we touch on parent page it opens the drop down menu.
    Please suggest how to do it.

    For third level pages (grandchild), I want to show the same menu that is seen on the child pages (all the child links of the parent). With this snippet, when on a grandchild page, I only see the other grandchild pages in the menu. How would this code need to be modified to show the all child links even when on grandchild pages?

    I’m relatively new to blogging and I recently switched over to the Kale Wordpress theme. I have been trying to do page attribute pages (under the parent page Recipes) so I can have separate categories for appetizers, desserts, etc. Everything seems to go through on the admin part but then on the site itself there are no page attributes/drop down form the Recipes category. What am I doing wrong? It is all set to public so I’m not sure what the problem is.

    I am using Generatepress Theme (created a child theme from it for customizing) and I can’t get this to work. The shortcode is displayed in the output page, it seems it is not even ercognized as being a shortcode. I use Elementor widgets and neither text nor shortcode widgets work.

    Any idea of how to make it work when using elementor widgets?

    Antworten

    • WPBeginner Support

      Hi Boris,

      Please try adding this code to your theme’s functions.php file or a site-specific plugin.

      add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');

      OMG sorry this is annoying Please ignore my other posts. Didn’t realize you couldn’t paste code into the comments.

      I was NOT able to get it to work with wpb_list_child_pages();

      I WAS able to get it to work with echo do_shortcode( ‘[wpb_childpages]’)

      And to get the title of the parent page, i inserted this above the child page list:
      $current = $post->ID;

      $parent = $post->post_parent;

      $grandparent_get = get_post($parent);

      $grandparent = $grandparent_get->post_parent;

      PHP if ($root_parent = get_the_title($grandparent) !== $root_parent = get_the_title($current)) {echo get_the_title($grandparent); }else {echo get_the_title($parent);

    Thank you,

    Could you explain, please, how can I organize child pages in drop down list that would be accessible through the parent page? (I don’t want the visitors could see all child pages in a form of a blogroll.)

    I.e., on the parent page I want to create drop down list (listbox) to which child pages would be added in predefined order (say in alphabetical order). After reading Introduction a visitor can proceed by choosing any page from the list at her wish (child pages has no logical connection so in any case she will search the exact page).

    Is ‚my dream‘ realizable?

    Thank you again.

    Hi WPBeginner Staff,

    I used the code you guys provided with the „short code option“ and it worked (links to child pages). However, I wanted to use the permanent option, and that didn’t work.

    When I added this line of code [ ] the parent page returns a 500 error and no child pages are displayed at atll.

    What am I doing wrong?

    On a side note if I wanted to display and excerpt with its respective image how would I go about it? Thanks!

    Antworten

    • Astrid

      I was able to figure this out.

      I added the code snippet then added this shortcode [wpb_childpages] to the parent page where I wanted the child pages displayed. Awesome!

      Now in order to display excerpts and an image would I use the same queries– just like posts under a category.

      Thanks in advance

    Could someone confirm that the example page used in this tutorial http://optinmonster.com/how-it-works/ uses this feature or not? To me it looks like it they are using tabs, instead of child pages.

    If I’m right, could someone direct me to a resource to get that feature, as I’m desperately looking for a fluid solution like the one they have in that page?

    Many thanks,

    For the non-shortcode option, you might want to let users know they need to either change
    return $string; to
    echo $string; or
    in their page template echo out the function
    echo page_list_child_pages();

    Yes it can be used for custom post types. Like this:

    
function wpb_list_child_pages() {

    global $post;

    if ( 'movie' == get_post_type() && $post->post_parent )

    $childpages = wp_list_pages( 'post_type=movie&sort_column=menu_order&title_li=&child_of=' . $post->post_parent . '&echo=0' );
    else
    $childpages = wp_list_pages( 'post_type=movie&sort_column=menu_order&title_li=&child_of=' . $post->ID . '&echo=0' );

    if ( $childpages ) {

    $string = '' . $childpages . '';
    }

    return $string;

    }

    add_shortcode('wpb_childpages', 'wpb_list_child_pages');
