Get_pages array shows default language

  • I tweaked the get_pages example code on www.ads-software.com to show the title, page_link and some custom fields of a childpage on the homepage, but the code only returns the content of the default language. I would like the code to retrieve the content of the current language.

    <ul id="latest">
			 <?php
				$mypages = get_pages( array( 'child_of' => 23, 'sort_column' => 'menu_order', 'number' => '1', 'offset' => '0', 'sort_order' => 'asc' ) );

				foreach( $mypages as $page ) {
					$content = $page->post_content;
					if ( ! $content ) // Check for empty page
						continue;

					$content = apply_filters( 'the_content', $content );
				?>

				<li id="latest" style="background: <?php the_field('kleurcode_project', $page->ID); ?>;">

					<h2><a href="<?php echo get_page_link( $page->ID ); ?>" style="color:<?php the_field('kleurcode_tekst', $page->ID); ?>"><?php echo $page->post_title; ?></a></h2>

					<p><a href="<?php echo get_page_link( $page->ID ); ?>" style="color:<?php the_field('kleurcode_tekst', $page->ID); ?>"><?php the_field('short_text', $page->ID); ?></a></p>

					<a href="<?php echo get_page_link( $page->ID ); ?>"><img src="<?php the_field('featured_image', $page->ID); ?>"></a>

				</li>
				<?php
				}
			?>

			</ul>

    I couldn’t find an answer to this question on the forums, I would surely appreciate getting to know the solution.

    Only in default language? get_pages should not even be filtered as explained here. Use the function get_posts instead.

    The homepage displays the default language in both languages. All the strings translations do change, but not the items I want.

    Changing get_pages to get_posts didn’t do the trick.

    Could you share the code you are using?

    The code that I’m using is the code in my first post. It works fine, but only not for the multilingual site.

    I meant with get_posts. What is above may help too.

    I suppose I understood what you want to do. Your get_pages queries only children of the page 23 which I guess is in the default language.

    If you want pages in other languages, you should translate this page and then query children of the translated pages.

    You can use pll_get_post(23) instead of 23 to get the page id of the translation page 23 in the current language.
    See the doc here.

    Thanks, that works. However, now I have an issue with the array parameter ‘number’. I want it to select the first 4 child pages based on ‘page order’ with an offset of 1.

    But now I have to put ‘number’ => ’16’ to grab the first 4 pages in one language and 5 pages in English.

    Any clue how to solve this issue?

    Maybe there is a way better way to this?

    As I mentioned above, get_pages is not filtered. It means that it always return all languages. As explained in the topic I linked above, I did this for performance reasons and because it is not needed. So please use the function get_posts instead of get_pages.
