   Hello everybody,

   I searched all over the Wordpress forums and the internet, but I haven't been able to find any answers regarding only showing content of direct page child without showing content of page grandchildren on a page parent.

   I tried the code that is in the wordpress function reference page for get_pages and tweaking it, but I couldn't get it to do what I wanted.

   <?php
       $pages = get_pages('child_of='.$post->ID.'&sort_column=post_date&sort_order=desc');
       $count = 0;
       foreach($pages as $page)
       {
           $content = $page->post_content;
           if(!$content)
               continue;
           if($count >= 2)
               break;
           $count++;
   //$content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
       ?>
           <div class="entry"><a href="<?php echo get_page_link($page->ID) ?>"><h2><?php echo $page->post_title ?></h2></a><?php echo $content ?></div>
       <?php
       }
   ?>

   Thanks for the help,

   Gabe

   Hmm just learned something new...

   Try adding .'&parent='.$post->ID to your parameter list of get_pages.

   I just added the description of that parameter to Function_Reference/get_pages so let me know how that works for you.

   like this?

   $pages = get_pages('child_of='.$post->ID.'&sort_column=post_date&sort_order=desc&parent=.$post->ID');

   maybe a conditional statement might work?

   No, like this:
   $pages = get_pages('child_of='.$post->ID.'&sort_column=post_date&sort_order=desc&parent='.$post->ID);

   That worked flawlessly!!!!

   Thank you so much.

   P.S. I've added extra keywords so other noobs like me can find this post.

   Thanks! Just what I needed!

   @MichaelH: you might want to include the alternative $pages = get_pages('child_of='.$post->ID.'&sort_column=post_date&sort_order=desc&parent='.$post->ID); for child pages only - NOT including any grandchild pages - to the Function_Reference/get_pages Maybe just as a remark? It's a very nice addition.

   Using WordPress as a corporate (read: page and not post oriented) CMS is getting there - not that it stopped me before... ;)

   One more thing,

   How would I also fetch a custom field value with that call?

   Here is the code I used:

   <?php $pages = get_pages('child_of='.$post->ID.'&sort_column=post_date&sort_order=desc&parent='.$post->ID);
   $count = 0;
   foreach($pages as $page)
   {
   	$content = $page->post_content;
   ?>
   <div class="item">
   	<a href="<?php echo get_page_link($page->ID) ?>"><?php echo $page->post_title ?></a>
   	<?php echo $content ?>
   
   </div>
   <?php } ?>

   It displays the content , but I also want to be able to get a specific custom field value.

   Thanks!

   I solved it thanks to this post http://wordpress.org/support/topic/218997

   '<?php $pages = get_pages('child_of='.$post->ID.'&sort_column=post_date&sort_order=desc&parent='.$post->ID); $count = 0; foreach($pages as $page) { $content = $page->post_content;$price = get_post_meta($page->ID, 'price', $single = true); ?>
   <div class="item">ID) ?>"><?php echo $page->post_title ?><p><?php echo $content ?></p><?php echo $price ?></div>
   <?php } ?>
   </div>'

    Using get_pages is there any way to just grab the post ID of the child as it loops through, like the code above loops.
