   Hey,

   I'm attempting to use pages which have children as sort of 'container' pages. That is, instead of displaying any content, they display the first child page. I know there are ways to do this that automatically redirect to the first child, but I think that's a little messy, I think there's probably a better way.

   Here's the plugin that I know can do the redirect, 'Redirector': http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/redirector/

   Any help would be appreciated!

   Thanks,
   Gavin

   Thanks, esmi! So the logic I would need to assemble would be along these lines:

   if page has children
   -- display first child
   else
   --display page contents
   end if

   That seems right, I think. I'll try to assemble something like this using the get_page_children function, I'll post any findings!

   Thanks,
   Gavin
