get_pages post_type parameter not working

Oh, and before anyone asks: “why don’t you just use get_posts()?” let me say that it’s because of the fact that get_posts returns private posts when logged in while get_pages supposedly does not. I’m aiming for public posts only.

if there’s still a need

use smth like this:

function add_hierarchy_to_post() {
       global $wp_post_types;
	$post = $wp_post_types['post'];
	return $post->hierarchical = true;
} add_action('init', 'add_hierarchy_to_post');

as the get_pages() runs post_type against is_post_type_hierarchical() and if the given post type fails to be hierarchical it returns pages whatever the args are.

Hi indybook, that’s brilliant! I had not noticed this particular check… I’ll have to test this ??

Yeah, would be less confusing if it was mentioned at the codex
