Help! Can't get this to work

Needing some help here.

I can’t get the widget to display where I would expect it to.

I would like to use this plugin to display a sidebar menu on any pages that have child pages. The menu should only show a list of each page’s children. From the description it seems this should be possible. I have created a page, then a child page, then activated the widget but nothing shows up on either the parent or child page. I have tried all the settings, including changing the levels etc. but so far nothing works. I got it to show up in posts, but even then it’s only showing a link to the category but not the actual posts, which is what I need.

Is this possible? Ideally I’d prefer to use it with pages, not posts. Thanks.

Actually I managed to do what I was after in a much simpler way. I dropped this bit of code into sidebar.php:

<?php
	if($post->post_parent)
		$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&sort_column=menu_order&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0");
	else
		$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&sort_column=menu_order&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0");
	if ($children) { ?>
		<ul id="subnav">
			<h3>My subpages</h3>
			<?php echo $children; ?>
		</ul>
<?php } ?>

Works great. I’d still like to know if this plugin would have achieved the same thing.

BTW thanks to kriesi.at for the code.

Sorry, that should read:

<?php
	if($post->post_parent)
		$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&sort_column=menu_order&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0");
	else
		$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&sort_column=menu_order&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0");
	if ($children) { ?>
		<h3>My subpages</h3>
		<ul id="subnav">
			<?php echo $children; ?>
		</ul>
<?php } ?>

to avoid HTML errors.
