Introduces the [list-pages], [sibling-pages] and [child-pages] shortcodes for easily displaying a list of pages within a post or page. Both shortcodes accept all parameters that you can pass to the wp_list_pages() function with the addition of a class parameter.
Example Usage
List pages sorted by title
[list-pages sort_column="post_title"]
List pages but exclude certain IDs and set the class of the list to “my-page-list”
[list-pages exclude="17,38" class="my-page-list"]
Show excerpt (for pages excerpt support will need adding manually or via the Page Excerpt plugin)
[list-pages excerpt="1"]
List the current page’s children, but only show the top level
[child-pages depth="1"]
List the current page’s siblings and their subpages
[sibling-pages depth="2"]
Default Arguments
The default values are the same as for the wp_list_pages() function except for title_li which defaults to nothing. If a class is not specified, a default class of either “list-pages”, “sibling-pages” or “child-pages” is given to the UL tag. In addition, the echo parameter has no effect.
In addition to the wp_list_pages() arguments, you can also specify:
- list_type (string) List tag. Defaults to
<ul>. - exclude_current_page (int) Exclude the current page. Defaults to
0. - excerpt (int) Show the page excerpt. Defaults to
0.
- Download and unzip the most recent version of this plugin
- Upload the list-pages-shortcode folder to /path-to-wordpress/wp-content/plugins/
- Login to your WP Admin panel, click Plugins, and activate “List Pages Shortcode”
Firstly you will need to add support for excerpt for your pages. You can either you this by using the add_post_type_support() function or using a plugin like Page Excerpt.
You can also use the ‘list_pages_shortcode_excerpt’ filter to return or customize the excerpt for specific pages. The following example:
You can then include the excerpt via your shortcode.
[list-pages excerpt=”1″]
