    Hi everbody,

    I’d like to display 3 random pages as a kind of excerpt (‘this pages could be interesting for you’). It works that WordPress displays me one random child page.But I’d like to display 3 pages. This is my code:

    <?php
					if (2 == $post->post_parent or 2 == $post->ID) {
						$parent = 2;
					} elseif (7 == $post->post_parent or 7 == $post->ID) {
						$parent = 7;
					} elseif (10 == $post->post_parent or 10 == $post->ID) {
						$parent = 10;
					}
					$args=array(
						'child_of' => $parent,
						'number' => 3
					);
					$pages = get_pages($args);
					shuffle($pages);
					if ($pages) {
						$pageids = array();
						foreach ($pages as $page) {
							$pageids[]= $page->ID;
							$content = $page->post_excerpt;
							$content = apply_filters( 'the_excerpt', $content );
						}
					}
				?>

    The ‘number’ => 3 does not work and I have no idea why… Can somebody help me please?

    Got it!

    <?php
					if (2 == $post->post_parent or 2 == $post->ID) {
						$parent = 2;
					} elseif (7 == $post->post_parent or 7 == $post->ID) {
						$parent = 7;
					} elseif (10 == $post->post_parent or 10 == $post->ID) {
						$parent = 10;
					}

					$count = 0;
					$pages = get_pages('child_of=' . $parent);
					shuffle($pages);
					foreach($pages as $page) {
						$content = $page->post_excerpt;
						$content = apply_filters( 'the_excerpt', $content );
						$count++;
						if ( $count < 4) { ?>			

MY LOOP
				<?php
						}
					}
				?>
