Child Page List in Sidebar Widgets

Open the file widgets.php in the Sitebar Widgets plugin directory and locate

function widget_pages($args) {
	extract($args);
	$options = get_option('widget_pages');
	$title = empty($options['title']) ? __('Pages') : $options['title'];
	echo $before_widget . $before_title . $title . $after_title . "<ul>\n";
	wp_list_pages("title_li=");
	echo "</ul>\n" . $after_widget;
}

then change wp_list_pages(“title_li=&depth=1“); to

function widget_pages($args) {
	extract($args);
	$options = get_option('widget_pages');
	$title = empty($options['title']) ? __('Pages') : $options['title'];
	echo $before_widget . $before_title . $title . $after_title . "<ul>\n";
	wp_list_pages("title_li=&depth=1");
	echo "</ul>\n" . $after_widget;
}

I tried it and it works for me, at least.

Yup,

That fixed it. Don’t know how many times I lloked right past this code.

I’ve tried adding de depth=1 argument but it still shows child pages…

is there anything else i have to check?

Ive also modified de

‘echo “\n” . $after_widget;’ to ‘echo “some text\n” . $after_widget;’to check, but “some text wasn’t written

now i deleted the entire function widget_pages

and it still displays all pages (including childs)

What the hell?

Hi Anabelle,
I just ran into the same issue.
I am using the TIGA theme and it work out that the theme uses its own version of widget_pages.

In TIGA there is a tiga.php file in which the default function widget_pages is overwritten. Simply add the &depth=1 parameter there and it will work
