How To List Certain Sub-Categories

Hi Richard,

Do you mean that you want to list all the sub-pages of the Events page on your blog’s “homepage” (by which I assume you mean the index page)?

If your site is somewhere online, a link should also be handy.

Hi Avanimisra, you are correct. I have the following page hierarchy:

index.php
events
event1
event2
event3

all of the event pages are created dynamically in wordPress. I need to list the individual events on the index.php page.

I will then need to list the individual ‘events’ on the events page, but this could well be the same code I hope.

I am making the site offline at the moment while I wait for a domain transfer to complete, so unfortunately cannot post a URL at this time.

also, just to confirm I wish to list the event ‘children’ without the ‘events’ parent also being shown.

Any ideas?

Richard,

This plugin comes tantalizingly close ?? But, it’ll display the sub-pages of only the current page, from what I gather.

What happens if you try this:

<?php
  $children = wp_list_pages('title_li=&child_of='.**PAGEID**.'&echo=0');
  if ($children) { ?>
  <ul>
  <?php echo $children; ?>
  </ul>
  <?php } ?>

in your template file? Make sure you replace **PAGEID** with the ID for the events page.

Could you test it and pingback?

(And you could call me Avani!)

Hi Avani,

Thank for very much for such a quick reply. Your code works perfectly!

I removed the
unordered list tags to keep the event sub-page list in a single unordered list, which lists the sub-categories perfectly, excluding everything else.

My final code looks like this within my sidebar:


<div class="links"><!-- links -->

• <h2>Event List 2</h2>

<?php $children = wp_list_pages('title_li=&child_of=12&echo=0');
if ($children) { ?>
<?php echo $children; ?>
<?php } ?>

</div> <!-- added for tidiness -->

Thanks again – I’ll recycle this snippet on my other pages.

Richard,

Awesome – and you’re most welcome, I’m glad it works ??
(I should have noted that you wouldn’t need the ul tags…)
