Display Title and Excerpt of Sub-Pages

Hi

Not clear what you mean by display all the posts under the page “how-to”

Posts are not under pages. Posts can be assigned to categories or tags but not to pages. you can DISPLAY posts on a page, but that does not mean they are under that page.

can you explain more clearly what you want to do?
thanks

I meant pages.

I’m trying to list the Title and Excerpt of all the Child Pages under a Parent Page.

I think if you change this
&child_of='.$post->ID);
to this
&child_of=390';

you should be good to go

It’s still displaying all of the Pages. Also it’s not displaying any excerpts.

<?php
$pageChildren = get_pages('sort_column=menu_order&amp;hierarchical=0&amp;child_of=390');
if ( $pageChildren ) {
  foreach ( $pageChildren as $pageChild ) {
    echo 'And the title is: '. $pageChild->post_title.'
';
    if ($pageChild->post_excerpt){
      echo 'And the excerpt is: '.$pageChild->post_excerpt.'
';
    if (!empty($pageChild->post_excerpt)){
	echo '<a href="' . get_permalink($pageChild->ID) . '">' . $pageChild->post_excerpt.'</a>
 ';
}
    }
  }
}
?>

You are sure the page parent is ID 390.

If you use just get_pages('child_of=390'); what happens?

That worked perfect now how do I get the excerpt part to work? And is there a way to limit the number of pages shown to the 2 latest?

<?php
$pageChildren = get_pages('child_of=390');
if ( $pageChildren ) {
  foreach ( $pageChildren as $pageChild ) {
    echo 'And the title is: '. $pageChild->post_title.'
';
    if ($pageChild->post_excerpt){
      echo 'And the excerpt is: '.$pageChild->post_excerpt.'
';
    if (!empty($pageChild->post_excerpt)){
	echo '<a href="' . get_permalink($pageChild->ID) . '">' . $pageChild->post_excerpt.'</a>
 ';
}
    }
  }
}
?>

Also just noticed this… Need a Link on there. :-/

Pages do not have excerpts so your tests for the existence of such will fail.

Might look for a plugin that allows you to enter an excerpt for a page.

Thanks for the help MichaelH and stvwlf.

Here’s the coded I ended up with.

<?php
$pageChildren = get_pages('child_of=390');
if ( $pageChildren ) {
  foreach ( $pageChildren as $pageChild ) {
    echo '<h2><a href="' . get_permalink($pageChild->ID) . '">'. $pageChild->post_title.'</a></h2>
';
    if ($pageChild->post_excerpt){
      echo ''.$pageChild->post_excerpt.'

';
    }
  }
}
?>

I had to download the plugin Page Excerpt which did the job.

Thanks for this code, works well.
Does anyone know how to add the_post_thumbnail to this? Would be really helpful. Cheers

Many thanks SP, your code was exactly what I needed. I am also using Page Excerpt.
