This lists all the grandchildren of the current post and could be enhanced to display info about the children as well.

It could also be enhanced to show all descendants.

This is a great plugin! Really… I find it very udeful. Though I’m struggling to get the output shuffled.

I mean, maybe output 4 children but ordered randomly. Let’s say a page with 30 children. I would love to be able to get 4 randomly chosen children.

I’ve tried the orderby=RAND, but that doesn’t seem to have any effect.

Thanks much for your efforts!

query_posts(’static=true&post_status=publish&orderby=date&order=DESC&child_limit=3′)

Is this the right way?

Also, can you please tell me if static=true argument is specific to your plugin, because the wordpress document on query_posts states page_type=page for Pages.

Is there anything this plugin can do that we can’t do with “post_parent”? e.g. How is…

query_posts('child_of='.$post->ID);

different from…

query_posts('post_parent='.$post->ID);

One word: “Brilliant”. Thank you for this. Surely this should should ship out of the box? When you mix this with custom fields you can really achieve some great results!

Thanks again.

I think you’re after the same thing as me, wanting to output child pages together with their grandchild pages. Still not sure how to do this.

I’ve had another try with the code Westi published above, bending it this way and that. The closest I can get is that I can output a list similar to:

CHILD 1
Child 1
Child 2
Child 3

CHILD 2
Child 1
Child 2
Child 3

CHILD 3
Child 1
Child 2
Child 3

It’s as if the child_of in the inner_query is not being used. Whatever I put in that child_of doesn’t seem to make a difference.

I need this thing but i cannot understand how to use it. i installed the plugin but i just don’t know what to do with it…

say i want main page “Articles” to display all its sub-pages (articles categories) and for each sub-page to display the relevant list of articles – like this:

Articles

Category 1
article 1
article 2
article 3

Category 2
article 1
article 2
article 3

where am i supposed to place this code then? and is it capable of doing what i need?

also would it be possible to place an icon next to each category?

thanks

// Change the limit to fit your needs
$limit = 9;
$parent_id = get_page_id(‘portfolio’);
$paged = (get_query_var(‘paged’)) ? get_query_var(‘paged’) : 1;
if ($paged > 1) {
$child_offset = ($paged – 1) * $limit;
} else {
$child_offset = 0;
}
$numposts = $wpdb->get_var(”
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM wp_posts
WHERE post_parent = {$parent_id}
AND post_status = ‘publish’”);

// To query the pages
query_posts(“post_status=publish&static=true&posts_per_page={$limit}&child_of={$parent_id}&child_limit={$limit}&child_offset={$child_offset}&paged={$paged}”);

// Count the subpages and show the pagenavi
if($numposts > $limit) {
wp_pagenavi();
}
