   I've got he following code working on a page, displaying all the children pages. However some pages have like 50 pages. So I'd like to restrict it to the last 10.
   

   <ul>
   <?php
   	$pages = get_pages('child_of='.$post->ID.'&sort_column=post_modified&sort_order=desc');
   	$count = 0;
   	foreach($pages as $page)
   	{ ?>
   		<a href="<?php echo get_page_link($page->ID) ?>"><?php echo $page->post_title ?></a><br />
   	<?php
   	}
   ?>
   </ul>

   However when I add &number=10 to the code below I get nil results.
   

   <ul>
   <?php
   	$pages = get_pages('child_of='.$post->ID.'&sort_column=post_modified&sort_order=desc&number=5');
   	$count = 0;
   	foreach($pages as $page)
   	{ ?>
   		<a href="<?php echo get_page_link($page->ID) ?>"><?php echo $page->post_title ?></a><br />
   	<?php
   	}
   ?>
   </ul>

   Anyone got any ideas ?

   Cheers

   Benjamin

     foreach($pages as $page) {

       if ( $count < 11 ) {  // only process 10 ?>
         <a href="<?php echo get_page_link($page->ID) ?>"><?php echo $page->post_title ?></a><br />

   Michael,

   Thanks for this.

   Would you use similar code to get 10 Random ? Also struggling with this.

   Cheers

   I too ran into the same issue with &number= not returning any results, using WP 2.9.2. So it doesn't work at all? Or just doesn't work with "child_of"?

   Either way, maybe someone should edit "number" in the get_pages parameters...

   I'm using the following code to display "child". i was wondering is there a way not to display "grandchild"? I didn't see any option for it.

   thanks

   <?php
   $count = 0;
   $pages = get_pages('child_of=1119&sort_column=post_date&sort_order=desc');
     foreach($pages as $page) {
       $count++;
       if ( $count < 50) {  // only process 10 ?>
        <div class="main_post_listing">  <a href="<?php echo get_page_link($page->ID) ?>"><?php echo $page->post_title ?></a><br /></div>
       <?php
       }
     }
   ?>
