    I’ve got he following code working on a page, displaying all the children pages. However some pages have like 50 pages. So I’d like to restrict it to the last 10.

    <ul>
<?php
	$pages = get_pages('child_of='.$post->ID.'&sort_column=post_modified&sort_order=desc');
	$count = 0;
	foreach($pages as $page)
	{ ?>
		<a href="<?php echo get_page_link($page->ID) ?>"><?php echo $page->post_title ?></a><br />
	<?php
	}
?>
</ul>

    However when I add &number=10 to the code below I get nil results.

    <ul>
<?php
	$pages = get_pages('child_of='.$post->ID.'&sort_column=post_modified&sort_order=desc&number=5');
	$count = 0;
	foreach($pages as $page)
	{ ?>
		<a href="<?php echo get_page_link($page->ID) ?>"><?php echo $page->post_title ?></a><br />
	<?php
	}
?>
</ul>

    Anyone got any ideas ?

    Cheers

    Michael,

    Thanks for this.

    Would you use similar code to get 10 Random ? Also struggling with this.

    Cheers

    I too ran into the same issue with &number= not returning any results, using WP 2.9.2. So it doesn’t work at all? Or just doesn’t work with “child_of”?

    Either way, maybe someone should edit “number” in the get_pages parameters…

    I’m using the following code to display “child”. i was wondering is there a way not to display “grandchild”? I didn’t see any option for it.

    thanks

    <?php
$count = 0;
$pages = get_pages('child_of=1119&sort_column=post_date&sort_order=desc');
  foreach($pages as $page) {
    $count++;
    if ( $count < 50) {  // only process 10 ?>
     <div class="main_post_listing">  <a href="<?php echo get_page_link($page->ID) ?>"><?php echo $page->post_title ?></a><br /></div>
    <?php
    }
  }
?>

    i got it working

    <?php wp_list_pages(‘title_li=&depth=1&child_of=1119&sort_column=post_date&sort_order=desc&number=10’); ?>
