   Hey Guys,
   I'm trying to figure out how to exclude all child pages from WP_Query?

   Here is what I am doing:

   <?php $my_query = new WP_Query("post_type=page&posts_per_page=9&orderby=menu_order&order=ASC"); ?>

   It's listing every page, but what I want is it to only show top-level pages and exclude all child pages. I was expecting the same functionality that wp_list_pages has with depth=1.

   Thanks for the help.

   You should be able to do this with a filter:

   <?php function mam_posts_where ($where) {
      global $mam_global_where;
      if ($mam_global_where) $where .= " $mam_global_where";
      return $where;
   }
   add_filter('posts_where','mam_posts_where');
   $mam_global_where = " AND $wpdb->posts.post_parent = 0 ";
   $my_query = new WP_Query("post_type=page&posts_per_page=9&orderby=menu_order&order=ASC");
   $mam_global_where = '';  // Turn off filter
   ?>

   Without a filter:
   

   $args = array('post_type' => 'page',
   				'posts_per_page' => '9',
   				'post_parent' => '0',
   				'post_status' => 'publish' );
   $the_query = new WP_Query($args);
