List Child Pages of Parents

  • Hi All

    I am using a plugin called Page-list. I use the plugin to list sub-pages of certain pages and sub-pages of the child-pages of other pages. So for the book of Leviticus I have the main page:

    https://gucu.me.uk/the-bible/the-old-testament/leviticus/

    At the bottom of this page I use the short-code
    subpages sort_column=”menu_order, post_date” class=”page-list-cols-3″
    This produces the list at the bottom of that page.

    If you then click on Leviticus 1, I then use this short-code
    pagelist sort_column=”menu_order, post_date” child_of=”512126″ class=”page-list-cols-3″
    to reproduce the same list as the page above.

    However, there are over 1000 chapters in the Bible so I will have to reproduce this code on every page. Is it possible to create if statements to reproduce the same effect in a page template please?

    I found this code doing a web search but it produces errors.

    function Index_child_pages() {
global $post;
if ( is_page() && $post->post_parent )
$childpages = wp_list_pages( ‘sort_column=menu_order&title_li=&child_of=’ . $post->post_parent . ‘&echo=0’ );
else
$childpages = wp_list_pages( ‘sort_column=menu_order&title_li=&child_of=’ . $post->ID . ‘&echo=0’ );
if ( $childpages ) {
$string = ‘
‘ . $childpages . ‘
‘;
}
return $string;
}
add_shortcode(‘index_childpages’, ‘Index_child_pages’);

    Any ideas please?

    Thanks

  • I cleaned up the code above as it has fancy quotes and that might be your error with it. I tested the below code locally and seems to do what you want.

    function Index_child_pages() {
	global $post;
	if ( is_page() && $post->post_parent ){
		$childpages = wp_list_pages( 'sort_column=menu_order&title_li=&child_of=' . $post->post_parent . '&echo=0' );
	} else {
		$childpages = wp_list_pages( 'sort_column=menu_order&title_li=&child_of=' . $post->ID . '&echo=0' );
	}
	if ( $childpages ) {
		$string = '' . $childpages . '';
	}
	return $string;
}
add_shortcode('index_childpages', 'Index_child_pages');

    Thanks for the help. I’ve just realised that it is using shortcode! If I want it to auto display without the need to insert a shortcode would this work please?

    //* Add child page list
function list_child_pages() {

    if ( is_page() ) {
        $current_page_id = get_the_ID();
        $child_pages = get_pages( array(
            'child_of' => $current_page_id,
        ) );

        if ($child_pages) {
            echo '<div class="row windows_row_holder">';
            foreach ($child_pages as $child_page) {

                $page_id    = $child_page->ID; // get the ID of the childpage
                $page_link  = get_permalink( $page_id ); // returns the link to childpage
                $page_title = $child_page->post_title; // returns the title of the child page

                ?>
            <div class="childpage-<?php echo $page_id; ?> col-md-4 pb_30">
                <div class="inner">
                    <div class="content_txt">
                        <h3><?php echo $page_title; ?></h3>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
            <?php
            }//END foreach ($child_pages as $child_page)
            echo '</div>';
        }//END if ($child_pages)
    }//END if (is_page())
};

    Thanks
