# WP_Query with pages

 * HI. I’m building a site where we’d like to show a summary of 5 specific pages(
   not posts) on the home page. Sort of like a sub menu (there’s a main nav menu
   at the page top as well created with wp_list_pages()). Normally I’d just use 
   wp_list_pages() and include the required pages as a parameter. But…rather than
   just a list of links we’d like to show the Page Excerpt (using Peter Westwood’s
   PJW Page Excerpt allowing me to add excerpts to a page) as well as a thumbnail
   added using a Custom Field. I’ve seen how to do this with posts or to pull the
   Custom Fields for the current page but not seen it like this for pages.
    Regards,
   Edward

 * The [template tag](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags), [query_posts()](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/query_posts),
   supports the argument **post_type=page**.

 * Thank you MIchael. That at least allows me to make a start. Can I expand the 
   parameter? For example query_posts(‘post_type=page&id=1,4,6,9’) – I want to return
   more than 1 page.

 *     ```
       $args=array(
          'post_type'=>'page',
          'post__in' => array(1,4,6,9)
       );
       query_posts($args);
       ```
