    I have several pages with grandchild pages etc but I cannot get them to display when only the parent is selected.

    What I would like to see when on Page 1b:

    Page 1
    Page 1a
    Page 1b
    Page 1b1
    Page 1b2
    Page2

    What I would like to see when on Page 1:

    Page 1
    Page 1a
    Page 1b
    Page2

    What I am actually seeing when on Page 1

    Page 1
    Page 1b
    Page 1c
    Page 1c1
    Page 1c2
    Page2

    My understnading is that it should display as I would like by default?

    Hello,
    It looks like the problem you are running into is Page1 is not the top level parent page.
    When on the Top Level parent page you will see one level down, when you are on any child pages, you will see all levels of pages under the child page.
    To make it work as desired Page 1 would have to become the Top Level page and the box to show the parent page would have to be checked in the widget.
    This is assuming in your third example, Page 1b is the same as Page 1a in the first two examples, etc. Otherwise if there is a actually another structure of pages “c” showing up and the structure “a” has vanished, I would take a look at how your pages are setup as far a the parent and child relationship.

    Cheers

    Hi, Thanks for your help. I’ve checked again and following are ticked in the widget area;

    Include Parent Page
    Include Parent Even With No Children

    My page structure is below but it is working for child pages it’s only when I add any menus under a child page that it displays them all in one long list.

    Eg this is how it should work (thought it might be easier to see than page 1 etc) with Environmental only showing it’s children when Environmental is clicked.

    Main list of services
    Feasibility
    Environmental
    Environmental Sub Page
    Environmental Sub Page

    What’s actually happening is that when Main list of services is clicked it displays everything under it except the Environmental Sub Page which doesn’t appear even when Environmental is clicked.

    I’ve checked then admin area and the pages are all children etc of the correct page (I’ve also confirmed this by listing all the pages in another area using the Page List plugin).

    It sound like the default behavior when the “Always Display Child Pages” box is checked and “Levels to Display” is set to 1.

    If this is the case, please uncheck the ‘Always Display Child Pages’ box and it should work as desired.

    If this is not the case, please email me admin login credentials to your site and I will take a look and see If I can figure it out.

    Ok thanks, Always Display Child Pages isn’t checked though I did try checking it, changing the level to 1 then unchecking again just on the off chance…

    I’m emailing the mail on your site – again, thanks for your help with this.

    I took a look at your site and unfortunately the behavior you are seeing is the way this plugin works. The 2nd level of pages is displaying when on the parent page. ‘all-sgurrenergy-services’. When on a 2nd level page this plugin will display all of child pages under the one you are on.
    To make this work another level down could be custom programmed which this plugin does support using views, but it is beyond the scope of this plugins default behavior.

    As far as the pages not showing up, this was caused by number of levels of page exceeding what was allowed in the plugin. I have adjusted this to work with an unlimited number of levels and will be releasing a new version of the plugin momentarily.

    I noticed your version of the plugin has been customized so you will not be able to update to this new version without breaking your current format, so I made the change to your version manually and you will see this working now.

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers
