List Pages under Parent Page

  • Hi I may have missed this but is there a default function or plugin available in WordPress so that I can display all pages created under a parent page? Maybe a short code of some sort.

    I noticed that in WordPress, the posts actually have categories however the pages don’t. Should I just use posts all the time so that I can assign a category?

  • If you think of Pages as static information that belongs on the menu, like Contact and About and Policies, then you’ll see why they don’t have categories. Posts are for more broad, evolving topics that you can’t summarize in a word, but belong to a category of similar content. Then you can put the category on the menu. Posts also have tags, so you can organize topics from two perspectives.

    If you need content in a particular order, you can paginate the content, so it’s all one long page/post with page breaks. Or you can use a plugin like Organize Series. Or you can find a plugin to sort by title instead of date.
    If you want to continue using Pages, there is a Pages widget. You control the order of the Pages (in general) by the menu_order field in the Pages list.
