Show only one depth, not all childs

Try some of the examples listed in the wp_list_pages() article.

i did try!

i can get only show 1 depth (but then you can’t show the children at all)

but i searched and searched around the web and over the fora and i can’t get it solved. I hope it is even possible.

I still hope somebody can give me the golden hint ??

Didn’t test this:

For use in sidebar, display only top level Pages, but when viewing a Page that has children (or is a child) show only children of that parent
When visiting main page, all top level pages are listed in the sidebar.
When click on a top level page with no children, all top level pages are listed.
When click on a top level page with children, just the children pages are listed.
When click on a children page, just the children of that parent are listed.

<?php
global $post;
$output = wp_list_pages('echo=0&depth=1&title_li=<h2>Top Level Pages </h2>' );
if (is_page( )) {
  $page = $post->ID;
  if ($post->post_parent) {
    $page = $post->post_parent;
  }
  $children=wp_list_pages( 'echo=0&child_of=' . $page . '&title_li=' );
  if ($children) {
    $output = wp_list_pages ('echo=0&child_of=' . $page . '&title_li=<h2>Child Pages</h2>');
  }
}
echo $output;
?>

your description is exact what i need! ??

but i want to have the top levels at the top of the page, and the children at the sidebar. Is this script easy to cut? (in different divs)

I can’t test it yet. (at work now) But thank you for helping me, in 2 hours you hear if its working!

thank you!

i just tested it.

it still doesnt work as it should. (https://www.ruunerwold.nl/bas/vissen left under is your navigation)

it works for some parts but not for head2, than you still see the subsubpages

Sorry–maybe someone else can spot the problem.

ok, thank u for trying!

hopefully someone else knows how to solve the problem?

FINALLY!

I’ve got it!
