   I have looked high and low for this. What I am trying to do is display the child objects of the current page on the page. All I am looking to do is show just the children in a list on the same page. What I am looking for is a php function that will pull the current page and list the children of it without any user intervention. I am currently using PHP-Exec plugin which allows me to input php directly into my pages on my site. I would like to have this so that a user can copy an past it right into the page and not have to enter anything into it like the page ID. What I currently have is below. At the moment I have to enter the page id manually for it to work. I would like that info to be just pulled and inputted into the function. Sorry if I am referring to things incorrectly here I am a bit of a n00b. The simpler the better. I would like to replace the page id in the child_of= attribute with a variable that contains the page id pulled from the page itself but I don't know how to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

   <ul style="list-style-type: none">
   
   <?php wp_list_pages( 'child_of=33&title_li=&depth=1'); ?>
   
   </ul>

   consider to create a shortcode http://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API

   for example, add the following into functions.php of your theme:

   //[children]
   function show_page_children_list( $atts ){
     global $post;
     $return = '<ul style="list-style-type: none">';
     $return .= wp_list_pages( 'child_of='.$post->ID.'&title_li=&depth=1&echo=0');
     $return .= '</ul>';
    return $return;
   }
   add_shortcode( 'children', 'show_page_children_list' );

   (untested)

   then simply add [children] into the page content where you want your child pages list.
