List Pages Shortcode

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.
