show html from child pages

Since the excerpt is truncated, HTML formatting is not kept (as it could lead to HTML tags not being closed properly).

You can specify truncate_excerpt="false" to display Custon Excerpts without truncating them … in which case you could use something like the “Rich Text Excerpts” plugin to enter HTML formatted excerpts (this only applies to custom excerpts entered in the Excerpt box will be used – the plugin adds the Excerpt box to Pages).

The next release of the shortcode will introduce the show_page_content parameter. If set to "true", the entire contents of the page (or as far as the “read more” link, if one is set) will be shown for each page – complete with all HTML formatting.

I am doing some final testing, and should be releasing this shortly …

ok, very nice to know. will test when it’s released.

thanks.

The new version has just been released. You can now use [child_pages show_page_content="true"] to show the complete content of the page … you’d probably want to set cols="1" too, I would guess ??

Hi there. It’s working perfectly!

Thanks!

Glad to hear that ??
