PHP in pages, plugin broken

    Hello,

    With the new WP, it would seem the plugin I was using is no longer working (Allow PHP in posts and pages). And I needed it to call child-pages of a page on the parent page.
    <?php wp_list_pages('child_of=xxx&title_li=yyy'); ?>

    The workaround is “working”, creating a page template with the code hardcoded into the layout, but as this is a project with quite a few pages and sub-pages, I would much rather not have to create 200 templates…Oh and writing a code that for one template would display all children would not be possible, as it is only to be displayed on a page per page basis…

    Any ideas how I can work around this? I’ve tried the following plugins Exec PHP, Grimp, and Allow PHP in posts and pages.

    Thanks a lot in advance!

  • How many of these pages are top-level (no parents)?

    Just one. They are all children of that one page, which is actually a summary of the project… it’s a book for young people with useful information on different topics, so the structure is site/book/general-topic/specific-topic/specific-subtopic. But there are also some that should not include the ‘children’…

    You could customise just the default page.php template and use a custom field – eg:

    ?php if ( get_post_meta($post->ID, 'listpages', true) ) wp_list_pages('child_of=xxx&title_li=yyy'); ?>

    Ah, and that would mean, that if there’s no custom field, there’s no list. That would actually be brilliant, and even more user-friendly for my colleagues! Will give it a try, thanks a lot!

    No problem ??

    I’ve actually not managed to change the code for echoing the custom field (most of the time, I don’t really know what I do ;)), but I do 1 extra-template with

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

    And that now does the trick! Will keep trying though, as I find your solution much more powerful! Thanks again ??

    Lucky shot from me, but this did do the trick:

    <?php if ( get_post_meta($post->ID, 'child_of', true) ) : ?>
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&child_of='.$post->ID.'&title_li=Sous-pages'); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

    And customfield child_of returns the values as wanted, and if wanted!
    (and I also realized this no longer has to do with php inserted into pages…sorry)

    Glad to hear you got it sorted. And don’t worry about the understandable topic drift. With luck this will help someone else who has a similar issue in future. ??
