Displaying list of child pages on one page

  • I’ve been searching high and low, and really racking my brain as to how to do this.

    Basically I want to make a page for a musicians website. I am deciding against using categories because I do not want these pages to display in the main blog, And have been unsuccessful in removing a particular category from my date based archives and main page.

    The order I have is:

    Discography
    -Mixtapes
    –mixtape1
    –mixtape2
    –mixtape3

    I have created the pages and child pages, and know how to display them as a clickable list using list pages etc.

    I want to display all of these child pages on one page, content and all, asif i was displaying blog post on a page.

    Is this possible?

    Any recommendation’s on hwo to do this using categories?

  • it’s possible, but way more complicated than getting your category exclusion to work from date-based archives.

    I’d stick with a category and excluding it from the rest of your site… seriously.

    (I’m not kidding, really…)

    otherwise, you will basically have to extract each page(tm) content into a page template.. and if you wanted to add another to the list, it wouldn’t be as simple as just making a new page.

    You’d have to go back and edit the page template to manually insert that page content as well…

    Pain in the arse.

    Do it right.

    Okay That makes sense, I understand that. Well in that case it is possible to make my main page which is the latest blog entries, and my date based archives etc display one particular category then? How would I implement this, I have tried using query_posts.

    my date based archives etc display one particular category then?

    I might be missing something… but how would this be different from the good old ‘category archive’? When you click on a cat name and you have all the posts from that category in chronological order?

    I mean viewing all posts from one month eg January. I have a drop down in my sidebar that displays posts from one month. I’m assuming I will only need to edit the code for the index.php file to exclude categories or display just one.

    The monthly archives don’t work by category…

    As for your original question – I have no idea where did you search. For sure not in the documentation.
