Like a charm! Thank you so much for your trouble.

No no, only grandchildren actually.

Unfortunately, your code does exactly the same as mine, only showing children and not grandchildren (thus in my case showing nothing).

A workaround could perhaps be to duplicate the code and put in all the child pages their IDs instead of the parent ID, but I’d rather avoid this ofcourse.

Yes, that’s exactly why. But those ‘year’ pages/page children are also the problem, causing the grandchildren to not show up. I hope it’s a much clearer to you now, appreciate your efforts!

Well, because they can be used multiple times. Let’s say Michael Jackson has 5 albums, each album would have the meta value ‘michael-jackson’. The artist page for Michael Jackson should list all 5 of these.

The albums are categorized in years via their parent pages, i.e. 2011, 2010, 2009, etc.

So I have a main album page which lists every album from every year. Then I have ‘child’ album pages where only albums from that year are listed. And then I have artist pages which should list every album from every year from that artist.

Thank you both for your replies. Taking your example of The Killers:

The slug of that page would be ‘the-killers’. I use this exact slug on every album page as a custom field ‘artist’. So an album page ‘Hot Fuss’ would have a meta key ‘artist’ and a meta value ‘the-killers’.

When I have an album from, let’s say Michael Jackson, I’d put ‘michael-jackson’ as a meta value.

I’m trying to separate album and artist pages from news items for which I use WordPress Posts.

And it actually works when I change the ‘child_of’ ID to the ID of a child page instead of the parent page (for instance, ‘child_of’ => 6414). And it also works when leave out the parts with meta_key and meta_value on the get_pages line. So showing children with meta values isn’t the problem, it’s showing grandchildren with meta values.

I hope I made it a bit more clear to you. I appreciate the help though!
