Common usage is for content sites utilizing WordPress as a simple CMS. Some content hierarchies call for an Overview page followed by multiple subpages, for example, a Services page. Use the following shortcodes to list children and or siblings of the current page: Alphabetical listing of current page’s children: [list_children sort_column=”page_title” sort_order=”asc”] List of current page’s siblings, ordered by menu order (descending): [list_siblings sort_column=”menu_order” sort_order=”desc”] You can use a majority of the attributes from the wp_list_pages() call: https:// codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_list_pages _The following will no longer work (deprecated):_ ## Screenshots * [[ * [[ ## Installation 1.

Thank you so much, Andy! 🙂 [ Read all 2 reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/list-children/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “List Children” is open source software.
