    Could someone point me in the right direction please?

    I am trying to get the content of 4 particular pages on the home page by mentioning their ID’s:

    <div class="getPages"> <?php
  $home_page_post_id = 674;
  $home_page_post = get_post( $home_page_post_id, ARRAY_A );
  $content_home = $home_page_post['post_content'];
  echo $content_home; ?> </div>

    The div is multiplied 4 times but I actually need to get all the child pages of the About page and not make the same div 4 times.

    Thank you.

    try to work with get_pages() and the ‘child_of’ (and ‘parent’) parameter:

    Thank you.

    I was able to get the job done after alchymyth’s suggestion, for whoever needs a similar solution, there you go:

    <?php
$home_page_post_id = CHANGE_THIS_TO_YOUR_ID;
// example: $home_page_post_id = 56;
$rand_posts = get_pages( array( 'child_of' => $home_page_post_id), 'numberposts=4&orderby=rand');
foreach( $rand_posts as $post ) : setup_postdata($post); ?>
<span class="getPages">

<div> <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
<?php $blogimageurl = wp_get_attachment_url(get_post_thumbnail_id());
$imagepath = $blogimageurl;
echo '<img src="'.get_bloginfo('template_url').'/functions/thumb.php?src='.$imagepath.'&h=134&w=212&zc=1"/>'; ?> </a> </div>

<h1><?php the_title();?></h1>
<?php echo excerpt(20); ?>
</span>
 <?php endforeach; ?>

    The above code displays the content of the children pages on whatever page you’ll put it in, in my case maximum 4 entries, with title and some content and also the featured image on top.
